God has made the world in such a way that we are all deeply - TopicsExpress



          

God has made the world in such a way that we are all deeply interconnected to one another in more ways that people usually think about. We have a deep solidarity with the people that went before us. People born in Afghanistan, for example, are born into war simply because of their citizenship, parents choices and choices of the local magistrate. They did not choose to be born there. That may not seem fair to some but it is the way God set things up in the world. We all are, in many respects, the consequence of our ancestors who are our our federal representatives. The choices of those who have gone before us have a major impact on our lives and gives us limitations; Some are born into rich countries, some poor: all no choice of our own, but of our ancestors. And our inherited sin from Adam is, in many ways, just like this. But to turn it the other way, our continued sinful rebellion against God gives witness that we are Adams children and agree with the choice he made to be autonomous from God. But we cant blame him if we continue to make the kind of choices he made. If we are not sons of Adam, then I would challenge you to try to demonstrate your independence from Adam by your obedience to God ... ... Well, that can only be done if we are joined to Another Representative - Jesus Christ. :)
