God of the Living


It is a most amazing revelation:
“For as in Adam all die, so also
in Christ all will be made alive.”

It is clear and absolute,
and perfectly symmetrical.
Both clauses balance out
perfectly, without remainder.

Adam’s disobedience resulted
in condemnation for all.
Christ’s faithful obedience resulted
in justification and
Life for all.

Once headed up in Adam,
humankind is now
headed up in Christ,
for Christ has united
divine being with 
human being.

In Christ all will be made alive.
For God, who will be All in All,
is not the God of the dead
but of the Living.
 
(Based on Romans 5:18 and 1 Corinthians 15:22, 28)

    WHY does the evangelical church's completely reject this truth ? i have concluded after 10 yrs of looking at this is they want the unbelievers punished with everlasting fire and it doesnt bother them at all.
