One man
"For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous" (Romans 5:19 NKJV). The Word of God has come to restore man back to the original state when he was created by God in the Garden of Eden. Due to sin, man has lost his legal right to come into the presence of God and have fellowship in His Light. Since the Garden, where Adam fell, man has taken on his own nature, the sin nature, and in doing so he has his own will, allowing him to choose whom he is going to serve or what he wants to do. When Jesus came down from heaven and died on the cross for all humanity, it opened the windows of Heaven and allowed the pouring out of the Holy Spirit upon all who receive Christ as their Savior. However, before one can receive the gift of salvation, he or she must recognize themselves as sinners and repent. There is a process of growth that comes when one excepts Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Repentance is the first step to salvation. One must be tired of sin in order to repent. Once one is convicted of their lifestyle, which is brought forth by the Holy Spirit who has come to this world to convict, and repents he or she is saved. Then, the journey begins in faith. It is a beautiful picture to see young souls break before the presence of God. It is beautiful to see them come to the altar or mercy seat, where Jesus washes away their sin through His blood. Salvation is not free. It cost Jesus Christ His very life, and it will cost you your life also. God bless you. Amen
