I doubt that many would disagree that of all the steps fulfilled toward salvation, the coming of the Messiah tops the list. I believe it will pale in comparison however, to the fulfillment of 1 Cor 15:24-28
It is Luke 1:27-38
26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
36 And, behold, thy cousin Elisabeth, she hath also conceived a son in her old age: and this is the sixth month with her, who was called barren.
37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.
38 And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her.
mary consented to our salvation!
everything depended on this!

But should it be all people in accord with some democratic process as if they by their numbers could be right above you or me or even God?
Would not God's opinion be the one we want to hold as our own? Alone we certainly cannot always do that, but if we are able to allow God to work within us, are not all things possible?
There are three momentous events.
Jesus's birth.
Jesus's death
Jesus's resurrection.
yet to come is his return.

yes God also sent His angel to Mary!
Is it not fitting that the fall of man being an angel (satan) speaking to a virgin (Eve) who cooperated in the fall was reversed by and angel (Gabriel) speaking to a virgin (Mary) who cooperated in and consented to our eternal salvation?
it is God who is greeting Mary in Lk 1:28 “hail full
of grace”
A good tree!
Biblical principle:
Matthew 7:18
A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
The fruit of the tree of Mary is our salvation! Matt 1:21 Lk 2:30 Jesus is our salvation! This reflects the immaculate conception of Mary and the miraculous conception of Jesus!
Lk 1:30 Mary found our salvation!
Lk 1:38 consented to our salvation!
A good tree (immaculate conception) Lk 1:49 God has done this and it is marvelous in our eyes!
Isa 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Matt 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
A sinner would be an evil tree with evil fruit, but the fruit of Mary is salvation!
Mary brings in the good fruits of our redemption and salvation!
So Mary CANNOT be a sinner or a bad tree!

I am in total awe of this the greatest moment in salvation history!
God in His infinite goodness, mercy, and love offers redemption to mankind that He never offered to the fallen angels!
Mary on consenting to our salvation became the mother of our salvation!
the angel of the Lord declared unto Mary and she conceived of the Holy Spirit!

When Jesus decided to go to the Cross is the "monumental moment in Salvation History".
= "not my Will, but Thine (Your's Father) = be done".
Had Jesus used His Freewill to NOT Go to the Cross...... then you would NOT be going to heaven, as there is no other WAY THERE....
JOHN 14:6
The monumental moment for me, in my salvation history, was when I heard and believed a man preaching the gospel about the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, and was baptized (Acts 8:12).
I understand.
It’s important to me and for me to tell my story.
After all, you’ve said that I’m not a Christian.
You can say that and believe that but I won’t leave it unchallenged. I don’t want to leave the reader with the false impression that I agree with your assessment of me.
