Sin in
him
Sin on him |
Sin is
not
in him and over him
Jesus' Body & Soul was made sin to replace the sinful humanity as a
substitute for the penalty of sin
(2 Co 5:21) |
Sin on
him,
but the sin in him was erased by the blood of Jesus crucified |
Further explanation . . .
The picture depicts the fallen mankind
since The First Adam.
Outside of Christ the human race are
'Spiritually Walking Dead Men'
Ge 2: 16-17 Then the Lord God gave this command to men: "You may eat
all the trees in this garden, but the tree of knowledge of good and
evil, do not eat its fruit, for
the day you eat it, surely you die."
When the prohibited command was given, Adam as man was in a position of
no sin (Gen2: 7), likewise when Jesus as a human (Joh 8:46).
As soon as Adam ate the forbidden fruit in Eden's garden, their eyes
were opened even though Eve ate the fruit first because she was
deceived
by the snake. They made loincloths from leaves (Gen 3.7) to cover their
nakedness. Their efforts are the source of all religious systems
throughout the world, whatever they are called. However God replaced
their loincloth with animal skin as a substitute garment (Gen 3:21); as
a symbol of safety they received and were driven out of the garden. Why
were they expelled? For as soon as they eat the fruit of the tree of
life, they will live forever in a sinful state and beyond redemption
(Gen 3:22).
Refusing to
accept Jesus as his/er personal saviour until the end
of his/er life, he/she will perish
eternally >Die spiritually and die physically in the lake of fire
(the second death)
Re
20:15 And if anyone was not found
written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.
Ro 5: 12-15 For this reason, just as sin has entered the world by one
person, and also by sin, death has spread to all, because all have
sinned. For before the law there was sin in the world. But sin is not
counted if there is no law. Even though death has been in power from
Adam's time to the time of Moses also over them, who did not sin in the
same way as Adam did, which is a picture of the one who is to come. But
God's gift is not the same as Adam's transgression. For, if for
the
sake of the transgression of one man all fell into the power of death,
far greater is the grace of God and his gift, which he bestowed upon
all men because of one man, namely Jesus Christ.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
(Joh 3:16)
Joh 3:36 If anyone believes in
the Son, he has eternal life, but he who
does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God will
remain on him.
Jesus being human as the Son of Man and
as the Son of God being God in the human-flesh who came as the Last Adam
1Co 15:45 As it is written, "The first man, Adam became a living
being," but the final Adam became a reviving spirit.
1Co 15:47 The first man [Adam] came from earth dust and was physical,
the second man [Jesus] came from heaven. [spiritual]
Jesus came as a human being with the aim of saving the human race of
Adam's descendants from the second death/eternal death.
Mt 18:11 For the Son of Man came to save the lost.
1Ti 1:15 This saying is true and deserves full acceptance: "Christ
Jesus came into the world to save sinners,"
He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the
churches; He that overcomes shall not be hurt of the second death. (Re
2:11)
Re 20: 6 He is happy and holy, who
shares in the first resurrection.
The second death
no longer has power over them, but they will become
priests of God and Christ, and they will rule as kings together with
Him, a thousand years.
Re 21: 8 But fearful men,
unbelievers, wicked people, murderers,
prostitutes, sorcerers, idol worshipers, and all liars, they will
receive their share in the sea that blazes with fire and brimstone;
this is the second
death. "
The New Man
has been reconciled with God in
Christ
Having made known unto
us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he has
purposed in himself:
That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather
together in one all things in
Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: In whom also we have obtained
an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who
works all things after the counsel of his own will: That we should be
to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom you also trusted,
after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in
whom also after you believed, you
were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise, Who is the guarantee of
our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession,
unto the praise of his glory. (Eph 1:9-14)
But God, who is rich
in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, Even when we were
dead in sins, has made us alive together with Christ, (by grace you are
saved;) And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in
heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might show
the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through
Christ Jesus. For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should
boast. (Eph 2:4-9)
Ro 5:10 For if we, while still enemies, are reconciled to God by the
death of His Son, moreover we, who are now at peace, will
certainly be
saved by His life!
Reborn by
the Holy Spirit
1Pe
1:23 For you have been born again
not from a
mortal seed, but from an immortal seed, by the word of God, which is
alive and eternal. Those who are born twice will die only once. Click here.
New
Human Race - New Creation in
Christ
Jesus
Therefore
if any man be in Christ, he is a new creation: old things are passed
away; behold, all things are become new. (2Co 5:17)
For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision avails anything, nor
uncircumcision, but a new creation. (Ga 6:15 )
In whom also you are circumcised with the circumcision made without
hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the
circumcision of Christ: (Col 2:11 ) (red body shape)
Justified
Ro
3:20 For no one can be justified
before God because of doing the law, because in the law people know sin.
Ro 3:24 and justified freely by grace through redemption in Christ
Jesus.
Ro 3:28 For we are sure that a person is justified by faith, and not
because he practices the law.
Ro 4: 2 For if Abraham is justified by works, he has the foundation to
boast, but not before God.
Ro 4: 6 Just as David calls happiness those who are justified by God
are not based on his actions:
Ro 5: 1 Therefore, we who are justified by faith, we live in peace with
God because of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Ro 5: 9 Moreover, because we are now justified by His blood, we will
certainly be saved from God's wrath.
Ro 10:10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the
mouth one confesses and is saved.
Called
to Apply The New Man
Eph
4:21-24 If so be that you
have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
That you put off concerning the former way of life the old man, which
is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the
spirit of your mind; And that you put on the new man, which after God
is created in righteousness and true holiness.
And
Receive Eternal Guarantee
Ro 8:
1-2 So now there is no
condemnation for those who are in Christ
Jesus. The Spirit, the one who gives life has set you free in Christ
from the law of sin and death.
Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that
loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to
separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Ro
8:37-39)
The CHURCH of God (all of nations as believers in Christ) who believes
that their sins have
been borne by Christ
and received His grace without any works; will receive glorified body
as it is written: 1Jo 3:2-3 Beloved, now are we the
children of God, and it does not yet appear what we shall be: but we
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we
shall see him as he is. And every man that has this hope in him
purifies himself, even as he is pure.
Meanwhile
the inner struggle between the flesh and the spirit in this
body of death is still ongoing until the Lord Jesus comes first to pick up
His bride (the Church) before we die.
1Thes4:17-18
For I
delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law
in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into
captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that
I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God
through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the
law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. (Ro 7:22-25)
1Co
15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the kingdom of God; neither does corruption inherit
incorruption.
Ga 5:17 For the flesh has desires that
are opposed to the Spirit and
the Spirit has desires that are opposed to the flesh - for they are in
opposition - so that you do not do what you want.
