Consequently, just as one trespass resulted in condemnation for all people, so also one righteous act resulted in justification and life for all people. For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
When Adam and Eve were hiding from God, He asked Where are you? God knew exactly where they were, what they had done, and how the enemy had tricked them. However, He decided to remain in relationship with them, even in their shame, and begin the process of restoration Which was completed on Calvary's cross. Here's what the Bible says: “so then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so, through one act of righteousness, there resulted justification of life to all men” (Romans 5:18, 19).
We must never forget that though all were condemned because or Adam's disobedience but all who accept Jesus are freed because 0f Christ's obedience. At the moment of our salvation, everything mankind lost when Adam and Eve sinned in the garden was returned to us in Jesus Christ. Once again you are significant and have safety, security and a sense of belonging in and through Christ.
Your glaring needs have been fulfilled and transformed into your glowing attributes. The question is why don‘t we act like our needs have been fulfilled? Why do we continue to struggle with feelings of shame, fear, loneliness, and rejection? Why do we continue to try to get our needs met by our own means? Because even though our spirits are changed in an instant, our minds must be renewed, our wills must come under the control of the Holy Spirit, and our emotions must be reprogrammed. Therefore, we must study the word of God daily so as to learn, grow, and renew our minds daily.
