Rhapsody Of Realities 11 September 2024 By Pastor Chris Oyakhilome (Christ Embassy) | God’s Grand Plan For Redemption

TOPIC: God’s Grand Plan For Redemption (Rhapsody of Realities 11 September 2024)

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous (Romans 5:19).

Rhapsody Of Realities For Today’s MESSAGE:

When Adam was created, he existed in innocence, knowing only good because everything God created was good (Genesis 1:31). God entrusted Adam with authority over His creation, effectively making him the steward of this world. Along with this authority, God provided Adam with specific instructions, of which notably, was to not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which was in the midst of the garden.

God clearly warned Adam of the consequences of eating of the tree: “…for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17). Adam, nonetheless, disobeyed God and ate of the forbidden tree. This act of disobedience constituted treason against God, and as a result, Adam forfeited his authority to Satan, who then became the god of this world.

But God, in His infinite mercy and wisdom, had a plan for redemption. He sent another Adam—the second and last Adam—Jesus Christ: “…The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven” (1 Corinthians 15:45 & 47). Recall what we read in our opening scripture; the Lord Jesus Christ, through His perfect obedience and sacrificial death on the cross, restored the broken relationship between God and humanity.

Jesus’ obedience countered Adam’s disobedience, offering justification and eternal life to all who believe in Him. Therefore, through Jesus Christ, God’s plan for redemption and righteousness was fulfilled. No wonder He declared in John 14:6, “I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life: no man comes to the Father, but by me.” He is the eternal salvation. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I’m eternally grateful for the redemption you’ve provided through the obedience of Jesus Christ. Thank you for what His vicarious sacrifice and His glorious resurrection have ushered us into. I’m the expression of your grace, love, and righteousness, living out the incorruptible, imperishable, impregnable life in Christ. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY:

1 Corinthians 15:22 – For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

Romans 5:12-17: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam’s transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. But not as the offence, so also [is] the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, [which is] by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. And not as [it was] by one that sinned, [so is] the gift: for the judgment [was] by one to condemnation, but the free gift [is] of many offences unto justification. For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)

Hebrews 5:8-9: Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered; 9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
