Why all this to make a New Creation?

I am sure that someone might wonder why God would go through so much effort to make a New Creation.  He could have just spoke them into existence.  That is the whole reason.  He could have just spoken them into existence.  He did that before when He created the Angels.  They had no choice.  They were just spoken into existence and as a result, did not truly understand the magnificents of God.  God made them so beautiful and with so much ability, that when Satan, who was the most beautiful of all His creation, thought that he could be like God, one third of them rebeled and followed Satan.  God being a Spirit and Satan they could see, they were probably captivated by Satans beauty.  This is why God wanted to create a different creation.  He wanted to create new beings who would come into existence by choosing Him.  By coming to the earth and giving them a visible exspression of the invisable God and His plan to give Eternal Life, beings could come into existence by choosing Him.  In God's plan to create a New Creation, He also created for Himself a body, in the birth of Jesus, and then that body became a Glorified body when He rose from the dead.  When it says that Jesus is the first born of all creation, that is what is meant.  His Glorified body was the first of the New Creation.  Romans 6:5 says that if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, then we shall certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection.  God has now became visible in the Life and Resurrection of Jesus.

The New Creation

The New Creation was God's plan from the foundation of the Earth.  When asked how someone can enter the Kingdom of God, Jesus replied, "you must be born again".  Then He was asked, " how is that possible, can a man enter again into his mother's womb".  Obviously a challenging remark.  Jesus responded, " you must be born of above, that which is born of flesh is flesh, and that which is born of spirit is spirit, unless one is born of water and of the spirit, they cannot enter the Kingdom of God.  This means that for someone to enter the Kingdom of God, they first have to be born on this earth.  We are born into this world through the breaking of water in our mother's womb.  Our bodies are also 98% water.  Then we must be born of the Spirit.  This is what is meant by Born of Above.  When we receive Jesus and what He did on the Cross, He comes into our soul (heart) and brings to us the Life that raised Him from the dead.  Jesus said that He stands outside the hearts door and knocks and if ANYONE hears His voice and lets him in, then He will come in.  You then become created again into His own likeness.  A New Creation that is eternal in the Heavens.

How can one man's death forgive sin and give Eternal Life?

Jesus was a one of a kind man.  He was not like us.  Everyone ever born was a decendent of Adam, except Jesus.  The women, Mary, who bore Him, did not become pregnant by a man's seed, but by the Holy Spirit of God.  As decendants of Adam, we are born with a sin nature.  Thus we are called Sinners, like one would be referred as a Human.  Jesus was not a Sinner, because he came into existance by the seed of God.  According to Jewish law, the only way that a person could enter Heaven and have Eternal Life was to have obeyed the whole law.  This is impossible for man to achieve, since his nature is of sin and his very nature is in vialation and seperated from God, for God cannot look at sin.  This was not impossible for Jesus, for he was the embodiment of God and Righteous in nature.  Without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiviness for sin.  On the cross, Jesus became sin, for he took on all our sins.  When he died, all the sin He had taken on was put to death, for He put to death sin on the cross, by sheddind His own blood.  You can say the very blood of God.  At the moment that Jesus died, the vail in the Temple in Jerusalem, was torn from top to bottom.  This vail seperated man from the Holy of Holies, the presents of God.  When Jesus died and put to death sin, it was now possible for man to come into the presents of God.  By believing what Jesus did and accepting what he did for you on the cross, you put yourself on the cross with him.  In doing so, your own sin has been put to death and because you are now in Jesus, He becomes your Righteousness and your vehicle in which you are now worthy to come into the presents of God.  You can now enter Heaven, for you are now quiltless to the law.  In Jesus burial, he buried sin.  When he rose from the dead by the Power and Spirit of God, He enabled all who believe and are in Him to also receive that Power and Spirit that raised Him from the dead.  Any person, who chooses so, can now be Born of Above and can become a New Creation.  In doing so, you can be changed from Sinner to Saint.

Why the Gospel of Jesus is a Jewish Thing

God, from Noah to Mary, has always intervened to preserve the people he had chosen to be the lineage in which he would come into the world.  Jesus was born to a Jewish virgin girl.(Isaiah 7:14).  In the City of David, Bethlehem.(Micah 5:2)  His disciples were all Jewish men from all backgrounds.  The Gospel went out to the Jewish people first.  After Jesus Ascension and the return of His Holy Spirit into the hearts of the believers,  the religious leaders in Israel at that time became concerned about the effect the move of his Spirit, called ,The Way, was having in Israel.  The reality of what was happening could not be denied.  One of the top Pharisees at that time, named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law and respected by all the people, when responding to the other Pharisees opposition said,
   
         " For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody; and a group of about  four hundred men joined up with him.  And he was slain; and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.  After this man Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census, and drew away some people after him, he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.  And so in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action should be of man, it will be overthrown; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may be found fighting God". 

If Israel and the Jewish people would follow the wisdom of Gamaliel, then they would have to admit that it is of God, for it has grown and continues to go on.  If it is, then your Messiah has come.   Then recieve what He did for you on the cross.
