Why did the Messiah have to come?
To answer this question, we need to start with humankind’s creation and what happened to it subsequently. When we understand humankind’s creation and fall, we will understand why Christ, the Savior, had to come to the earth. Also, we will understand whether Jesus accomplished everything humankind could not do for itself. On the evening of Jesus’ birth, an angel told the shepherds in the field nearby, “Today your Savior is born in the city of David. He is Christ the Lord.” Luke 2:11, NET. Why did humankind need a Savior? Was there another option? “When God created humankind, he made them in the likeness of God. He created them male and female: when they were created, he blessed them and named them humankind.” Genesis 5:1 – 2, NET.
Therefore, the newly created humankind was good, with no deficiency, because they were in God’s image. What is the nature of God’s image in humankind?
God made the human body; he did not call it into existence. God put spirit, the life, into the body, and it became a living soul. The order of spirit called Mankind is our life. “The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help!” The words I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.” John 6:63, NET. Our spirit (intelligence as it is known in physics) is our identity. Our soul is not our identity. Humankind is an order of spirit, not an order of the soul. Humans, in quantum cosmology, are an order of intelligence. Our spirit, or intelligence, is not made from matter; therefore, intelligence and spirit are the same. Because our intelligence, our spirit, is not from matter, it is not subject to the laws that govern the matter. It must obey the law of intelligence. The reality experiments imply that all humans have the same spirit or intelligence. The individual members of humankind differ in knowledge and experience but not intelligence. Therefore, all human beings are subject to the law of intelligence equally.
God gave humankind the order of spirit called Man, or Mankind, in the Bible. The advanced experiments in quantum cosmology indicate that intelligent decisions are irrevocable. Therefore, as a representative of humankind, Adam decided and chose to disobey God on behalf of the whole of humanity. Adam, by an intelligent decision, made the whole of humankind a sinner by nature. Because the spirit in Adam made an intelligent decision, the decision became irrevocable. Adam, as a representative of humankind, had to be tested. Why? God did not tell us. Perhaps because evil existed before Adam was created, he had to choose God or the Enemy.
