dying you will surely die
YLT: dying thou dost die
Me: You will be dead awaiting the spirit of the breath of life, that presently maintains life in you, to depart from you and return to me. You will then be dead, without hope of any kind of life.
However God knows that at the moment he told Adam this he who cannot lie, had before he even created the man Adam had made a promise of the hope of eternal life. This promise was made before time began. Who was it made for if he had told Adam he was going to die without hope?
How about this promise having been made for the Lamb who before the foundation of the world or the creation of Adam, it was determined would die.
A Lamb without spot or blemish, a sinless Son of Man maybe he would come and die the death assigned to his father Adam and become the substance of things hoped for, being he was also the Son of God. Maybe his death would be the faith that brings the hope of eternal life.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
Heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ.
YLT 1Peter1:3 Blessed
the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness
did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead,
did beget us again -How- By pouring on us the Holy Spirit
to a living hope -How- Through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead
This living hope is the hope of eternal life which God who cannot lie promised
before time begin. We now because Jesus Christ has received that promise have hope thereof also.
Titus 3:7 YLT that having been declared righteous by His grace,
heirs we may become according to the hope of life age-during. (eternal life)
Notice we are heirs, not yet inheritors, what beget us as heirs, not yet inheritors of the hope of eternal live? Verse 6 which refers back to the last two words of verse 5: which He poured upon us richly,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour, (what?) V5
the Holy Spirit. Notice the Holy Spirit was poured on us,
through, meaning first he received then through him it is given to us. That is the very words of Acts 2:33 First Jesus
received from then it was poured on. Acts 2:33 YLT at the right hand then of God having been exalted -- also the promise of the Holy Spirit
having received from the Father --
he was shedding forth this, which now ye see and hear;
How was this done? By the resurrection of Jesus Christ Titus 3:5 through a bathing of regeneration, and a renewing of the Holy Spirit,
To whom? Jesus Christ our Lord.
Was this because of
FAITH?
Gal 4:4 and when the fulness of time did come, God sent forth His Son, (be) come of a woman, (be) come under law,
Gal 3:23,24,25 And
before the coming of
the faith, under law we (including Jesus become under the law) were being kept, shut up to
the faith about to be revealed, so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith (which had not yet come, had not yet been revealed) we may be declared righteous, and
the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,
It was through the faith that had come, Jesus the sinless one dying, that God the Father by grace raised him from the dead renewing him with the Holy Spirit by which we are begotten again unto the hope of eternal life.
NE perishes for lack of atonement!
