God created all matter and time among the other dimensions. All his his work yet the element of the free will called sin is not God's work. Yet this is sustained as real in God's creation. Eve sinned and we inherited this among all our other ancestor's sin. Each generation is more sinful than the one before. Sin lives in a way and has real power. It causes as Paul said:
(Rom 7:8 ISV) But sin seized the opportunity provided by this commandment and produced in me all kinds of sinful desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
(Rom 7:9 ISV) At one time I was alive without any connection to the law. But when the commandment came, sin sprang to life,
(Rom 7:10 ISV) and I died. I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
(Rom 7:11 ISV) For sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, deceived me and used it to kill me.
(Rom 7:12 ISV) So then, the law itself is holy, and the commandment is holy, just, and good.
(Rom 7:13 ISV) Now, did something good bring me death? Of course not! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used something good to cause my death, so that through the commandment sin might become more sinful than ever.
(Rom 7:14 ISV) For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am mere flesh, sold as a slave to sin.
(Rom 7:15 ISV) I don't understand what I am doing. For I don't do what I want to do, but instead do what I hate.
(Rom 7:16 ISV) Now if I do what I don't want to do, I agree that the law is good.
(Rom 7:17 ISV) As it is, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me.
(Rom 7:18 ISV) For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but I cannot carry it out.
(Rom 7:19 ISV) For I don't do the good I want to do, but instead do the evil that I don't want to do.
(Rom 7:20 ISV) But if I do what I don't want to do, I am no longer the one who is doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me.
(Rom 7:21 ISV) So I find this to be a law: when I want to do what is good, evil is right there with me.
(Rom 7:22 ISV) For I delight in the law of God in my inner being,
(Rom 7:23 ISV) but I see in my body a different law waging war with the law in my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin that exists in my body.
(Rom 7:24 ISV) What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
(Rom 7:25 ISV) Thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
So sin lives in us and causes us to contradict our ideals, leading us into what we hate.
But Jesus was our sacrificial lamb and all our sins went into Him. His body appeared warped as if hit or smitten by God, as a root out of dry ground. Sin is a reality alike matter, bearing some kind of substance and power!
Jesus consumed it and paid the price as below. It can be washed away in His blood.
(Isa 53:1 Darby) Who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of Jehovah been revealed?
(Isa 53:2 Darby) For he shall grow up before him as a tender sapling, and as a root out of dry ground: he hath no form nor lordliness, and when we see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
(Isa 53:3 Darby) He is despised and left alone of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief, and like one from whom men hide their faces; --despised, and we esteemed him not.
(Isa 53:4 Darby) Surely *he* hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; and we, we did regard him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
(Isa 53:5 Darby) But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.
(Isa 53:6 Darby) All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one to his own way; and Jehovah hath laid upon him the iniquity of us all.
(Isa 53:7 Darby) He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, but he opened not his mouth; he was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and was as a sheep dumb before her shearers, and he opened not his mouth.
(Isa 53:8 Darby) He was taken from oppression and from judgment; and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
(Isa 53:9 Darby) And men appointed his grave with the wicked, but he was with the rich in his death, because he had done no violence, neither was there guile in his mouth.
(Isa 53:10 Darby) Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath subjected him to suffering. When thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see a seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Jehovah shall prosper in his hand.
(Isa 53:11 Darby) He shall see of the fruit of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant instruct many in righteousness; and *he* shall bear their iniquities.
(Isa 53:12 Darby) Therefore will I assign him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong: because he hath poured out his soul unto death, and was reckoned with the transgressors; and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
The blood of the highest reality, the creator of all but sin, consumed this to cure us of it. The reality is washed away as soot can be washed away with a jet of water. I am a little puzzled though. In the Toronto Blessing revival meetings, people shook on the floor as sin came out of them. Why didn't Jesus blood do this or was it doing the work? Is there more than one way?
So now there is a sacrifice and provision for us to be fully recreated. Sin overcome, justice, righteousness and honour imputed and infused into every part of our lives where we sinned and where we need excellence! Children blessed. Our glory will exceed Adam's in our weaknesses! Good News!
