....for the causal layman, those lacking understanding, or even interest:
The curse of death for sin: Gen 2:17 "…but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” KJV
The only way to eradicate the curse: is for a man to live free from sin, and suffer death. Because; death was only meant for sinners!
How does a man live [free of sin]? Man cannot. He can only repeat it. God, in the person of Jesus can, and does live sin free. And in the process; Teaches us “The Way,
the Truth, and the Life.” He also atones for our sins, and reconciles Himself to man, for putting sin in front of us to begin with. Much like Him saying, "I am sharing
in your humanity, and death so I might save all from eternal damnation." And Jesus dies at OUR sentencing and hands, sinless. The curse is then broken!
Death, then becomes a door instead of a destination! And in heeding His teachings, we avoid the “Second Death” (death of the soul).
And all this..... without disrupting Free Will. AMAZING!
In even simpler terms? God is not asking us to do something He wouldn’t do Himself. And out of pure love for ALL of us! Amen
