“In his Son, Jesus, he personally took on the human condition, entered the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once and for all.” (Romans 8:3 MSG)
Humanity, left to its own nature, is in a constant state of disintegration. Detached from the Spirit of God, our lives become like withering buildings--falling apart, turning to dust. Fortunately, Jesus personally bought this condemned building with His life savings. He entered into the disordered mess of struggling humanity in order to set it right once and for all.
Those who are remodeled by Christ no longer follow their sinful nature which led to disintegration. Instead, they are integrated--one with the Spirit. Once Christ takes up residence in us, living and breathing through us, we experience a life designed by the Spirit--open, spacious, and transformed.
