Sin was the charge; guilty was the verdict, and death was the sentence.
One sin is that serious.
God’s standard is the Law, summarized in the 10 Commandments.
Breaking God’s law either actively or by failure to obey brings God’s wrath.
All have broken God’s laws (the sinless Lamb of God, 100% God and 100% human male is the only exception).
All are guilty and have the sentence of death on them.
Sin is serious.
One sin brings the death penalty on body, soul, and spirit. The curse of death that Adam received is received by all his descendants. Jesus, God the Son, was not a descendant of Adam but of God the Father. Jesus was born of a virgin.
Adam’s body, like ours, began its slow decline unto death (Genesis 5:5).
Adam’s soul was corrupted (soiled, defiled, unclean, stinks) like ours and is self-centered instead of God-centered (Ephesians 4:22 and Colossians 3:9).
Adam’s spirit was separated from God without His fellowship, blessings, protection, spiritual nurturing, and love. Compare Colossians 2:13, Ephesians 2:1-3, Matthew 4:16, Ephesians 5:8, Ephesians 4:18, and 1 John 5:12.
The Lord Jesus
Isaiah 53:11 (MEV) He shall see of the anguish of his soul and be satisfied. By his knowledge My righteous servant shall justify the many, for he shall bear their iniquities.
God the Father sees His son’s anguish (a characteristic of the soul). The suffering on the cross was the Son paying the penalty for sins. The death of God’s Son fully paid the death penalty, and God was satisfied. The righteous servant is Jesus Christ who justified many, i.e., those who accepted God’s offer by believing in His Son for salvation. They believed His message and His ministry on Earth.
Salvation through Jesus Christ:
The physical body will be resurrected as a new creation like the Savior’s body (1 Corinthians 15:35-49).
The soul is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and has new desires, goals, and a way of life.
The spirit is a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17) and has full reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:18-21).
The new creation that occurs when someone places their faith and trust into Jesus Christ alone brings blessings: 1) peace with God (Ephesians 2:16-17), 2) access to God (Ephesians 2:18), 3) salvation by His life (Romans 5:10), 4) God’s help and grace (2 Peter 1:3), 5) a ministry (2 Corinthians 5:20), to be holy and blameless (Ephesians 1:4), 6) adopted by God the Father (Ephesians 1:5), 7) graciously accepted by God (Ephesians 1:6), 8) redemption, no longer a slave to sin (Ephesians 1:7), 9) forgiveness of sins (Ephesians 1:7), 10) spiritual understanding (Ephesians 1:9), 11) an inheritance (Ephesians 1:11), and 12) opportunities to thank and praise God (Ephesians 1:12).
