THE LAST ADAM BROUGHT TOTAL PERFECTION
“For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified”. Hebrews 10:14 KJV.According to the scripture the last Adam is Jesus. “And so, it is written, the first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit” (1 Corinthians 15:45 KJV). Jesus was manifested to destroy the works of the devil. He came to put a permanent end to what the devil did to the first Adam in the garden.Jesus, in order to redeem man, took his place and took his sins upon Himself. “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all”. (Isaiah 53:5-6 KJV). It was not a pleasant thing to do. But He did it for the love wherein He loved us.Beloved, the last Adam paid the supreme price for your redemption. Don’t live below your redemptive rights and privileges. On the cross, the Father separated Himself from His Son so that you will never be forsaken. And at the end of it all Jesus said: “It is finished” And the scripture declares in the book of Hebrew 10:14: “For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified”. (KJV). And the scripture declares further: “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more” (Hebrews 10:17 KJV)It is you who is remembering sin! What God remembers are the promises He made to you. This is because when the last Adam Jesus died, He put an end to everything the devil did to mankind. He was buried and on the third day, He rose triumphant over death, hell and grave. He came out and said all power in heaven and earth have been given unto me. All power belongs to Him. That is why you will no longer be limited. Your redemption is total and perfectly perfect.Further Reading: Hebrew 9:11-28, 10:11-23Daily Bible Reading: Morning- Psalms 79-80; Evening- Romans 11:1-18
