Sin is within each person, but it is not sinful to be a person. Why?God created humanity, he didn’t create sin. Jesus became human, he didn’t come sin. Jesus redeems humanity, he didn’t redeem sin. And in the resurrection, we will have a recreated body w

• God created humanity, he didn’t create sin.

• Jesus became human, he didn’t come sin.

• Jesus redeems humanity, he didn’t redeem sin.

• And in the resurrection, we will have a recreated body with no sin.

To be human and sinful are two separate categories and are not to be blended into a single substance, like sugar dissolved in water.  However the corruption from sin is so intense, we have no experience from it.  So from our perspective it seems as if sin and ourselves are fully blended.  From Scripture they are not.   Jesus came to DESTROY sins attachment to the human body.

1 corinthians 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

This is how I see it.

God made man in a complete and orderly way. In his HUMANITY he was perfect. But he ate fruit. If he has eaten from the Tree of Life, the fruit would have been assimilated and permeated his humanity. He would have become organically one with the nature of the fruit. But instead he ate of a damaging fruit that was forbidden. The nature of the fruit became organically one with the man. His human nature was defiled and polluted and the result was death. The Book of Romans sets forth the tragedy. Romans uses the singular form of "sin" to depict this poisonous affair. Roman 5:12 states that by one man sin (singular) came into the world and by it, death. Verse 14 says that death passed on all men even though they did not sin like Adam. This is because of God's Law of KINDS in Genesis 1:11-12. Everything that has its seed within itself will produce exactly the same KIND as is in it. So Adam' seed caused that every man who ever came from this seed would be contaminated - and die.

The grand type of this terrible legacy is found in Numbers 21. Fiery serpents bit the Israelites. The poison coursed through their veins. It became one with the blood of the man and ended in the man's death. To combat this, God needed two things to satisfy His righteousness;

1. A judicial retribution on the Serpent and the man
2. A process by which the dying man reversed the issue and "lived"

1. So a Substitute was found and Made LIKE a serpent. This Substitute was made, not of scales and flesh, but brass. That is, He took the Form of the Serpent BUT NOT THE NATURE. Brass also depicts fiery judgment as the altar of the Tabernacle was to be plated with brass. So the brass Serpent was hung on a tree and became a curse. That is, although it was not the KIND of the Serpent in that He was brass, He went through the judicial retribution of God which entailed judgment and death. So our Lord dies for men for their SIN (singular).

2. But this left the man still facing death. The dead-fluid was still coursing in his veins. So God, Who is just and will not make man suffer twice for a sin, provides a way out for the man. If he LOOK upon, that is, identifies himself with the serpent on the tree, he will "LIVE" (not be healed - Nu.21:9).

That is, man is hopelessly poisoned by what Adam did. But Christ's death is accepted as just retribution. And if the man will look on Jesus and identify with Him that was "lifted up" he shall LIVE. But God takes it a step further. The great enemy of God is death (1st Cor.15:26). And God cannot indefinitely allow (i) chaos, and (ii) His enemies to thrive. According to 2nd Corinthians 5:1-5, death is a chaotic state. So God sets out to defeat and abolish death. The solution to death is RESURRECTION. So the chaos of death can only be solved by the resurrection every man  (1st Cor.15:22). So our Lord Jesus pays for every man in the world (Jn.1:29).

It is not that every man is saved, but the death of Jesus is to allow God judicially to RESURRECT every man.

John 12:32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
