Continuing from Yesterday’s Post:
Who is the one person that came from a woman but not from a man? Who was good enough to please God and strong enough to not be destroyed when He was bruised by Satan?
There is only one answer to this: Jesus. He was made by God with only Mary’s seed. He never sinned, so He could keep God’s Laws for us making it possible for God to be pleased with us as well (Ephesians 2:15-18; Colossians 2:14).
Jesus is so powerful that He could take our sin into Himself, and destroy it for all people.
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. II Corinthians 5:21
Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed. I Peter 2:24
The only thing left to us is whether we will believe this Good News of Jesus or not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12
Everyone from Adam and Eve to today has had this choice. Will I believe Jesus opened the way to God for me? Am I willing to let Jesus be my master or will I stay a proud slave of sin? Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. Romans 6:18
Oh, yes, Jesus won the right to rule the world back from Satan by His death on the Cross. Someday soon, God will present Him with the title-deed to the earth and Jesus will destroy His enemies and come back to rule forever.
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6,7
And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open its seals: for you were slain, and have redeemed us to God by your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; And have made us kings and priests to our God: and we shall reign on the earth. Revelation 5:9,10
