One Man
Devotions:
Death came through one man, Adam. So that life could come though one man, Jesus. With death came all the trimmings, sickness, disease, calamity, poverty, famine, plagues and everything else that was associated with the curse. Death is separation from..... physical death is now when we cease to be but when the real person, the spirit being is separated from their body because the body ceases to function. Spiritual death is separation from God which is the condition that we are all born into. God does not hold us responsible as a child until we develop enough to know right from wrong.
“I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;” Romans 7:9 NASB
Spiritual death opened the door to all of the evil curse that plagues this earth. Spiritual death came through sin and if not dealt with will lead to the second death which is permanent separation from God our Father. Physical death is a result of spiritual death.
“The LORD God commanded the man, saying, "From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from it you will surely die."” Genesis 2:16-17 NASB
When God said that "surely they die," the Hebrew says, "in dying you will die." That is when they sinned they died spiritually and because they died spiritually they would die pysically.
Jesus came to take away sin by becoming the sinless sacrificial lamb and taking our sins upon Himself. When Jesus died on the cross and rose again He made us the righteousness of God. When we fully believe that we are the righteousness of God in Christ and walk in it, sickness and all the rest of the curse will drop off us. Righteousness means that we stand in the presence of Almighty God without any sin. condemnation, shame, or failure. We truly experience God's love in its fullest. Sin is fully paid for so we should have no more consciousness of sin. We must discipline ourselves to be righteousness conscious and not sin conscious.
