Because Adam caused death to be passed on to everybody, everybody now has death. Remember when Adam disobeyed God? God said, “In the day thou eatest of it, thou shalt surely die.” That death has been passed on to mankind from Adam to all. Adam made it so that all have condemnation, which is a terrible thing. Death was the penalty for Adam’s transgression, and it passed on to all people. The people still had bodies; they had breath life; they had living souls, but they had no spirit life. God made a plan to reinstate spirit to mankind, and that's what we will learn in this week's curriculum. We're going to look at the "Mission of Jesus Christ." In this session and chapter, we look at what the Scriptures say Jesus Christ was called to do in the Old Testament and the Gospels. After Adam had lost holy spirit for all of mankind, God had a plan to reinstate spirit and reconcile us back to God. Jesus said, “Because I go unto my Father, if you believe on me, you are going to be able to do these works that I did.” That’s not all; He goes on to say, “And greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father.” Jesus went to the Father. I am going to show you some of what he taught after the last supper as he slowly walked with his disciples to the garden of Gethsemane. Because Jesus went to the Father, he is at the right hand of God, interceding for us. There is nobody so low down that his arms aren’t underneath them. There is nobody so high up that his arms are not above him, or anyone so far out to the left or to the right that his arms are not there to care for them. Jesus Christ is making intercession for them. We are righteous because of what Jesus Christ accomplished for us. We have to believe that Jesus Christ did it for us. We have to believe in his accomplished works. When we believe in Jesus Christ’s accomplishments, we are made righteous, not because we accomplished anything. We are just made righteous.
