For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. |
For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. |
Western culture has been formed by our view of the individual.
We talk of a personal Savior. But the Scripture challenges that assumption. From God's point of view, what we do not only affects us, but everyone around us.
Because of Adam's disobedience, we all suffer under sin. Because of Christ's obedience all can be made alive. So we need to see that our choices have far reaching implications.
So choose today to follow Jesus. That choice has far greater implications than you know.
