But as
many as received him, to them gave he gave power to become the sons (teknon) of
God, even to them that believe on his name
:(John 1:12)
No doubt there are scriptures, stories and categorical statements in
the bible that describes the fallen state of man to remind us of the fallen
glory so that we can be conscious of the power that brought us into the new
creation. When you go through the foundation of how righteousness was delivered
then you begin to understand the power of righteousness that you have. You will
abuse something in your possession if you don’t know its value or how expensive
with it, and you get so familiar with it. Thus many scriptures echo the need
for Someone else to come and deliver righteousness to us.
The disobedience of
Adam in the Garden of Eden as a result of his long hearing is redeemed in the
New Testament by the second Adam was hence God over the ages and generations
has always wanted His own creation to override its fallen state, He has always
wanted a turning point from death and sin nature, a departure from the Adamic
legacy was now possible through. In Leviticus we see God speaking to His own
and telling them not to defile themselves, in other words He was giving them a
picture of the new creation, He didn’t want
them to allow the existing system, a generation that will penetrate the world
with His righteousness will be born, God
was showing us the picture of the new creation; preserved remnants.
