MAN & HIS REDEMPTION BY CHRIST DE MESSIAH: 
The essence of Adam's Sin was disobedience, the Obedience of Christ was indispensable, it is obedience that God requires & in which man's glory consists. Christ De Messiah's resistance to the temptations spread before Him by the Devil was in fact a scene which was the exact counterpart of the original temptations in the garden. In order to exhibit such obedience, the second Adam had to live His life through all its stages, not excluding death itself. His passion & crucifixion fall perfectly into place, for in obliterating the obedience of man originally enacted on the tree, He became obedient into death, even the death on the Cross, healing the disobedience enacted on the tree by obedience on a tree. Christ's dying for us or reconciling us to God by His Passion, or of His propitiating for us the Father against Whom man had sinned. Indeed, the Lord's Passion & sacrificial death were the supreme & necessary expression of His obedience.
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen. 

At best, Christ is the Teacher of Truth Who bestows a "New Law" & reinforces it through His own example. Those who are His Servants must obey their Master's Commandment, all the more so since not only has He set rewards & punishments before them, but it is their clear duty to make Him some recompense for His Passion. Similarly, we think of God as the Supreme Lawgiver Whose relation to mankind must be conceived in almost judicial terms.

Our Salvation comes both from ourselves & from God. If God's Help is necessary for doing good & if the good itself comes from Him, it is equally true that the initiative rests with man's free will. Without God's Help, we could not accomplish good works. Nevertheless, even if Grace takes the lead, it cooperates with free will. We first of all begin to desire the good & to incline ourselves towards it, & then God steps in to strengthen that desire & render it effective.

The Son of God became Son of man so that the sons of men, that is, Adam, might become sons of God.... partakers of the life of God. Thus He is Son of God by nature & we are by Grace. We are made partakers of the Divine nature & are said to be Sons of God, we are actually called Divine, not only because we are exalted by Grace to supernatural Glory, but also because we have God dwelling in us. Grace thus conceived is a state of communion with God & if a man must use his free will to attain it, there can be no question but that the blessedness in which it consists is wholly the gift of God. 
Alleluia!! Amen.

Man's primitive state had been one of supernatural blessedness. He was created immortal, destined to share the Blessedness of God Himself. Although Adam's body was not intrinsically immortal, he halted its tendency to decay by eating of the Tree of Life. So Adam had been a heavenly being, breathing ethereal air & immune from life's cares & boredom. Accustomed to conversing with God face to face, he held his carnal appetites in sovereign control. Along with Eve he radiated perfect innocence & virtue & was even exempt from the need of food. From this happy state, however, he fell, being condemned to concupiscence & death.

In the meantime, unfortunately, Adam was a tragic figure - of splendid appearance, modest, @ his best magnanimous, always fiercely courageous, there was nevertheless in him an emotional instability that was to be his undoing. Always of a volatile temperament capable of frenzies of excitement. It appears that as pressure was put on him he became increasingly disturbed in mind, swinging like a pendulum between moments of lucidity & black moods in which, incapable of intelligent action, he indulged in behaviour calculated to alienate almost all his closest descendants. O God have mercy!

It must be said in all conscience that Adam faced odds from Satan that could have taxed the capacity of the most noble & balanced of minds. When tempted by the wicked One, Satan De Devil, Adam succumbed to Satan's temptation, hence the fall. He sinned & so fell short of God's Glory. Meanwhile, his very position placed him under the 😨 fearful strain of having to exhibit characteristic qualities not once in a dramatic effort, but continuously.

Ever since the fall of Adam in the Garden of Eden, man, unfortunately, has lost his Divine spirituality. O God Save His own Children! 

Amen. Alleluia!! Hosanna In The Highest!

 Thanks to The Blessed Lord & Redeemer of Mankind, CHRIST De MESSIAH, Who, By His Holy Death on Calvary Cross salvaged mankind thru His Divine Ransom by which He liberated man from the slave market of Sin & deadly clutches of Satan De Devil. Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.

Actually, the root cause of Adam's lapse was PRIDE: he wanted to claim for himself something which had not been assigned to him, equality with his Creator. His Sin was akin to idolatry, since he fondly imagined he could become God. By treating the Devil as God, Adam placed himself in his power & stood condemned. It was his soul, of course, which sinned, but the act corrupted his flesh & Sin established its abode there. Thus, the Devil took possession of it, so that henceforth it could be designated to "Flesh of Sin".

Of course, Adam's TRESPASS certainly had disastrous consequences, it introduced death, physical & spiritual, & set going a habit of disobedience. But this latter is propagated, not by physical descent, but by custom & example. Hence, there is no congenital fault in man as he is born: before he begins exercising his will, there is only in him what God has created.

Certainly, for adults the Sacrament - Grace - was medicinal & regenerative, but its effect on infants was purely benedictory, what they received @ the font was not eternal life but spiritual illumination, adoption as Children of God, citizenship of the Heavenly Jerusalem, sanctification & membership of Christ De Messiah, with inheritance in the Kingdom of Heaven. 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

By merit alone men could advance in Holiness & God's predestination operates strictly in accordance with the quality of the lives God foresees they will lead. A man can, from his own free will, observe God's Commandments without sinning. Was it not written in the Holy Scriptures: "You shall be perfect, as your Heavenly Father is perfect" - Matt. 5: 48? It would be impious to suggest that God The Father of Justice enjoins what He knows to be impossible. As a matter of fact, Holy Scriptures can point to several instances of perfect or blameless lives - Genesis 6: 8-9, Genesis 17: 1, Job 1: 1, Luke 1: 6.

Obviously, it is the whole Law which must be fulfilled, for a Christian / Zionist or true Child of God is he who is one not in word but in deed, who imitates & follows Christ De Messiah in everything, who is holy, innocent, undefiled, blameless, in whose heart there is no malice but only piety & goodness, who refuses to injure or hurt anyone, but brings succour to all. He is a Christian or Zionist who can justly say: "I have injured no one, I have lived righteously with all". 

Alleluia!! Amen.

Of course, we do not imagine that anyone will live such a life from childhood to death. What we envisage is not a state of perfection acquired once for all, but rather one which is attained by strenuous sacred efforts of the WILL & which only steadily increasing application will be able to maintain, to God's Glory, by His Grace in Lord Christ De Messiah. 

Alleluia!! Hosanna!  Amen.

It's thanks to Almighty God that thru Faith in Blessed Lord CHRIST De MESSIAH, God's Kingdom Saints @ ZION have a sparkling, dazzling & flowering Kingdom Hope, which consists in a participation in the Divine Nature & in the Blessed Immortality of God. Certainly, the Eternal Salvation of the faithful Kingdom Saints @ ZION will take the form of that Incorruptibility which Fellowship with God will impart, for when the Blessed Divine Image & Likeness have been restored in a man, he becomes capable of "seeing perfect things" & after the Saints' Resurrection will receive a Blessed Immortality. 
Alleluia!! Amen. Hosanna In The Highest!

Eventually, the Grace of the Spirit already @ work in us - the Kingdom Saints - will, when fully given, "make us perfect, according to The Father's Will, for it will restore man to God's Image & Likeness.
Alleluia!! Amen.

Moreover, after the Blessed Resurrection, God will cause His Kingdom Saints to share in His Own Privilege of Incorruptibility. This will be the effect of the Vision of God which, out of sheer goodness, The Father will bestow on the Blessed Elect & His Kingdom Saints, for: "Those who see God are within God, sharing His Glory"! 
Alleluia!! Amen.

Indeed, unto us - God's Kingdom Saints @ ZION of Holy Jerusalem - it will be our chief JOY to gaze upon The Blessed Trinity of Divine Persons. The human understanding can scarcely grasp the magnitude of the Blessings that await us - for we shall become Sons of God & shall, in fact, be deified! 
Alleluia!! Hosanna! Amen.
