How can human beings be right with God? How can mere people really be pure?

God blessed them. He said to them,“ Have children so that there will be many of you. Fill the earth and bring it under your control. Rule over the fish in the seas and the birds in the sky. Rule over every living creature that moves along the ground.”

Who can bring what is pure from something that isn’t pure? No one!

The time came for making Mary“ clean” as required by the Law of Moses. So Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem. There they presented him to the Lord.

“ Can human beings really be pure? Can those who are born really be right with God?

I know I’ve been a sinner ever since I was born. I’ve been a sinner ever since my mother became pregnant with me.

Sin entered the world because one man sinned. And death came because of sin. Everyone sinned, so death came to all people.Before the law was given, sin was in the world. This is certainly true. But people are not judged for sin when there is no law.Death ruled from the time of Adam to the time of Moses. Death ruled even over those who did not sin as Adam did. He broke God’s command. But Adam also became a pattern of the Messiah. The Messiah was the one who was going to come.God’s gift can’t be compared with Adam’s sin. Many people died because of the sin of that one man. But it was even more sure that God’s grace would also come through one man. That man is Jesus Christ. God’s gift of grace was more than enough for the whole world.The result of God’s gift is different from the result of Adam’s sin. That one sin brought God’s judgment. But after many sins, God’s gift made people right with him.One man sinned, and death ruled over all people because of his sin. What will happen is even more sure than this. Those who receive the rich supply of God’s grace will rule with Christ. They will rule in his kingdom. They have received God’s gift and have been made right with him. This will happen because of what the one man, Jesus Christ, has done.So one man’s sin brought guilt to all people. In the same way, one right act made people right with God. That one right act gave life to all people.Many people were made sinners because one man did not obey. But one man did obey. That is why many people will be made right with God.

The Lord God said to the woman,“ I will increase your pain when you give birth. You will be in great pain when you have children. You will long for your husband. And he will rule over you.”
