Lesson 17: The Saviour’s Work - Part 1

Previously, we saw the Jesus performed miraculous signs to show He was Yahweh, the Creator-God. And He had come to earth to be mankind’s Saviour. But what exactly was mankind’s problem? In this lesson, we look at what Scripture says about mankind’s condition. We learn that the first man and woman, Adam and Eve, represented mankind and when they rebelled against Yahweh, they corrupted their nature. Now they had a sin nature and they were cut off from their Creator. This sin nature is passed down to all people, generation after generation. People are born separated from God and face an eternity without God. By default, they are headed for eternal separation or eternal death. People are also unrighteous and unable to live the perfectly righteous life that will be equal to God’s righteousness. This is where the Saviour comes in. Jesus came to earth as a human. Supernaturally, He was born without sin and He lived a completely righteous life. And then He went on to die for mankind. He became the sufficient substitute, able to die on mankind’s behalf, and able to credit or impute His righteousness to mankind. Sinful mankind can appropriate what Jesus did through faith. When people put their trust in Christ for salvation, Jesus’ death will count as theirs and Jesus’ righteousness will be credited to them.
