“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Romans 3:23
The worst thing the devil did to man was to reduce man made in the image and likeness of God to the lowest common denominator. How did that happen? It was when Adam, the representative of man disobeyed God and sin entered. Man made in the GLORY was reduced to shame, defeat, disgrace and reproach. From that moment on, everyone born into this world was born in sin. All you need to do to be a sinner is to be born. We were all in Adam, our representative man.
Today’s text makes it abundantly clear. It says: All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. You don’t have to do anything to be a sinner. The fact that you are a product of a man and a woman makes you a sinner. This would have been a hopeless case if it had ended here, but thank God it did not. Thank God that the story did not end on a sad note. Jesus our last Adam (1 Cor.15:45) came and removed this curse of sin hanging on man and restored us back to our original glory.
What an awesome blessing and all this for “NO CHARGE”. All you need to do to enter into this glory is to acknowledge your sin and helplessness and invite Jesus into your life (Rom. 10:9-10). Once you do that willingly with all your heart, you enter that glory. This glory can be yours today.
If you have already made Jesus the Lord of your life, I congratulate you. But do not stop at that, you need to walk in the consciousness of who you are. Don’t let he devil cheat you with ignorance – get into the word of God and find out all that God says about you and walk in it.
