42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. - Matthew 26:42.
Everything was in that cup Jesus drank from, all sins ever committed or will be committed was in the cup of redemption Jesus drank from and healed all of humanity. When you see someone that may be less desirable in society. The down and out weak soul that seems no hope, Jesus drank from that cup of his father's will to redeem all that was or ever would be born into this world. Sin gone as far as the east is from the west, which there is no measurements for. How do you get rid of sin, if you were God how would you deal with Adam's sin problem? Exactly! You kill it, you take it to the tree and crucify sin there. When Jesus crucified Adam's sin it was a once and for always eternal event. Sin could never return in the form of a nature, not for those in Christ.
What then pray tell causes a born again believer to sin? Some may seem worse than others but it doesn't matter it is still sin. It's just not the sin nature it is the MIND now that was trained-taught however you want to say it. When a believer sins now it comes from the mind. Did you know that FLESH is the mind given to body pulls and that constitutes sin or flesh same thing now just for a believer. Those that have never been born again it is their sin nature. The only way to rid a person of their sin nature is for them to be in Christ.
You see in Christ the;
sin-Satan-death-nature-life-spirit is crucified. To gain some ground in understanding, a believer needs to look very close at "the first Adam, and the last Adam." The first Adam had trouble staying obedient to the Lord. Adam and Eve did not last long before they had a nature and the sin and shame started. The last Adam was obedient to his father and brought an end to Satanic rule over humanity. Satan still has his place but it will never be like it was because he has been cut off. It is kind of like a rose that has been cut off, it looks just like it did before except now it is dead and don't know it yet.
Any and all Satanic influence in the world now is used by God. There is no need for Christian's to get to excited about wrestling with the devil all the time. They can set back and relax because it is a defeated cause on the part of darkness. Not only was the battle won but the war is over, Glory. The battle a believer has now is with their mind. The only battle the believer has is with his mind, why does it look like a nature? Because of how it was instructed when it possessed a nature that was direct opposite of it's creation. Have you noticed how your new nature fits you so much better!
Paul said "when I want to do good I can't because of the nature that was in me," sin in me he said. Now you have to see Paul was speaking retrospective and from the standpoint of being in Adam which does not exsist in Christ. You see in Christ, Adam does not exist only a new creation exsists. Paul could speak to Adam's sin nature now because he could look from the standpoint of being in Christ. You are in one or the other by a birthing. You are either in the first Adam, or you are in the last Adam. Their is only two places for humanity to be in, there is not three or four.
That is the main reason we can say "there are no gray areas in God, it is either black or white. Because now in this world all of life can be defined in the two Adam's. Bless you.
