GOD’S INTENTION: NOT TO REFORM BUT TO REDEEM SOCIETY

God never intended to reform society when it went wrong within a few generations. He determined to redeem humanity. Interesting concept. Why redemption? Going wrong incurred penalty, the loss of relationship with God and the forfeiture of life. Resource data, the Bible, informs us that to accomplish said redemption, he sent his divine Son. Not as a swat team commander or warrior king, but as a human baby he came. Fully human, he identified with humanity. His deity remained unaltered. He was God in a human body. He grew up, matured, and never went wrong. He did not deserve the penalty. He should not die. He was innocent. However, the divine plan scripted that this supernatural son came specifically for this purpose, to die on behalf of all the other wrongdoers. That is, his death would count as the full payment for the transgressions of everyone else who ever lived on planet earth. The proviso being, faith.
