NONE OF US WOULD EVER HAVE STAYED RIGHTEOUS IF WE WERE AS ADAM WAS
I often think about this. What if the sinful nature did not pass down to each human. Would there ever be anyone who lived life without sin? I think not. If Adam had not sinned then, he would have sinned later. If we did not have the sinful nature in us we would be influenced by the sinfulness of others and succumb to sinning. So, God was not being harsh when He consigned every human over to unbelief and disobedience. In doing so, no man can ever think or say that they were completely righteous and worthy of eternal life let alone be the savior of others. No man can pay the price for every human. It took the Son of God becoming THE Man to save us. Only God can pay the infinite penalty of humanity's incalculable wickedness in our sins which were an infinite offense to Him. And only a perfect human could be an approved substitute for mankind.
When we are resurrected, we will be glorified and be made perfect in our humanity, like the humanity of Jesus. But Jesus will always be, not only the perfect human, but also God. We will be like Him in His humanity, but never like Him in His divinity.
There is only one God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and He is One LORD. ( Deut. 6:4) Let us worship Him as He has revealed Himself to be, not how we "make" Him to be. We must guard against idolatry, whether false beliefs about Him or the false belief that we will ever be like Him in His Godhood. "You shall have none other gods before Me". ( Deut. 5:7)
Lord, help us to "lay down our idols and the thrones we have made, all that has taken your place. Lord, I will bow to You, to no other God, but You alone." (from the Song Lord, I Will Bow to You)
