Good Morning America! Gods Remedy for Mans Ruin. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many. (Mark 10:45) Gods unique remedy for mans ruin is His only begotten Son (John 3:16), who came into this sin-cursed world through the womb of the Virgin Mary (Luke 1:26-38), and lived a holy, sinless life because He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and not by a father bearing the sin of Adam. He had no human father (Matt. 1: 18-25). In sinless human flesh He was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin (Heb.4:15). Jesus was pure in thought, word, and deed; He never, Entertained an evil thought: Who knew no sin (2 Cor. 5:21); Spoke an evil word: Who committed no sin, nor was deceit foung in His mouth (1 Pet.2:22); Committed an evil deed: In Him there is no sin (1 John 3:5). He could stand before His enemies and challenge them to convict Him of sin (John 8:46). God the Father sent His Son into the world to do two things: to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many (Mark 10:45). From His baptism in Jordan to His death on Calvary, the Lord Jesus Christ, Served the people. At Cana He turned water into wine (John 2:1-11). Beside the Sea of Galilee He multiplied five loaves and two fishe into enough to feed five thousand (John 6:1-14). The people reasoned that if He were king they would always have food to eat. However, Jesus came to serve, not to be served, and so He refused their kingdom (John 6:15); Gave His life a ransom for many. He came to pay debt of sin with His life: For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord (Rom. 6:23). Gods remedy for mans ruin was completed when Jesus suffered the supreme penalty on Calvary. He paid the believers debt of sin in full (John 1:12,29, 1 John 2:2). In Adam all died, spiritually and physically, but in Christ all believers are made alive (Eph. 2:5, 1 Cor. 15:20-23). In Adam all were created and then ruined through the Fall, but in Christ all (believers) are new creations (2 Cor. 5:17). In Adam all are separated from God by sin (Is. 59:1,2), but in Christ all believers are redeemed from the ruin (Gal. 3:13). Today may all be blessed and remember, be like Christ!
