Sicknesses Rampant Worldwide

We have accepted human’s imperfection as a universal truth. Truth not in the sense that imperfection is supposed to be the natural and full state of the human being; but truth in the sense that it is true we all in reality are normally and merely imperfect. No one denies this.

The human being was not created to be imperfect. Contrary to our reality of existence, we were first created perfect. We ought to be perfect. After all, Scripture says we were created in “God’s image,” (Gen 1:27). After God’s review of His creations, He declared that “all were very good,” (Gen 1:31). Good by God’s standards is perfect, for He is perfect.

Then something bad happened. A wrong choice was made. We know that humans today are imperfect due to the inheritance of a corrupted version of our humanness. This was caused by the Adamic sin (Rom 5:12). The Bible says decidedly, “You know the story of how Adam landed us in the dilemma we’re in—first sin, then death, and no one exempt from either sin or death,” (Rom 5:12, MESS).

This is how humanity, you and I, have ended up in a world where sicknesses are rampant worldwide. “Even those who didn’t sin precisely as Adam did by disobeying a specific command of God still had to experience this termination of life, this separation from God,” (Rom 5:14, MESS).

This same Scripture that identified the problem “why sicknesses are rampant worldwide,” that is through the ‘inherited sin syndrome;’ suggested the solution when it says, “Adam is the type of Him who was to come,” (Rom 5:14, NASB). More clearly another Scripture says, “as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive,” (1 Cor 15:22, NASB). So there is no need to worry about “Rampant Sicknesses Worldwide.”
