Subject: How does God judge and who? |
Bible Note: Mr. Jones- I'm not finding your point. What is your understanding of "the life was the light of men" in John 1:4? Light illuminates in darkness. It makes clear the way. The life of Christ was and is most definitely an example for us. As for his ability to face temptation and remain sinless your missing an essential doctrine. He was born of a virgin. There was no sin in His nature and so no tendency toward sin. He did not need to employ devine, supernatural power to resist sin. Because He was and is God His very nature was in opposition to sin. He knew temptation, but his nature did not desire to fulfill it. We, on the other hand, were born of the flesh, utterly sinful, not seeking God nor what is good. (Romans 3:11-12) The necessity of a savior; we were helpless and ungodly and in need of redemption which Christ only was and is able to provide (Romans 5:6). We weren't able to resist and therefore shouldn't have been able to resist sin. There was nothing in us or even within our grasp to have enabled us to resist. But praise God for His redemption and for the example of the life of Christ. Now that He has saved us and made us new, we can resist sin and should. |
