"And as I may so say, Levi also, who received tithes, paid tithes in Abraham." (Hebrews 7:9 KJV)
"For the sin of this one man, Adam, caused death to rule over many. But even greater is God's wonderful grace and his gift of righteousness, for all who receive it will live in triumph over sin and death through this one man, Jesus Christ." (Romans 5:17 NLT)
If you don't get it yet, this mind twisting reality of things we do not know, is somehow connected, based upon God's amazing ability to link everything together; even through many generations and centuries, He keeps His plan and purpose going forward. There are some that just don't understand, how Jesus can give us a right standing with God; yet the whole the truth is very simple: Because that is what the Father has made possible, we just need to receive it!
I really don't know how else to explain it, other than it was the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, which was powerful enough to pay the price for the sins of everyone, because the price needed to be paid, and that is all it took to make it happen; the Father's Son coming down to pay the price for our sins! And, because it has been paid, we who are alive thousands of years later, just need to reach out a grab hold of this amazing, wonderful, gift; a gift we don't deserve, but get to receive because God loves us!
Yes, it seems too simple to be true; but that is the whole purpose of why God made it that way. We don't need to evaluate it or try to figure out how it all works; we just need to accept it and believe that it works! God will do the rest...
"For I am not ashamed of the Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes - the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life."" (Romans 1:16-17 NLT)
