The Coming of the God-Man
Centuries later, Jesus would appear. In order to resolve the predicament, God would visit planet Earth in the person of His Son. As a descendant of Adam, He could open the way for man to become righteous. This would be accomplished through the offering of His blood on the cross. Jesus came to bring us back and synchronize our lives with the government of God, so that we can once more claim our citizen rights. It is in this manner that God sought to reconcile us to Himself.
"God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God." (II Corinthians 5:21)
The word righteous is a legal term not a religious term and means "to position oneself rightly".
Jesus came to make us righteous again, to put us back in right relationship with God so that we are qualified to receive the promises of God. Understanding this is critical to developing solid Kingdom thinking. When we are in right relationship with God, He can extend His Kingdom, His rulership, into our lives and rule the Earth through us. It is as we rule the Earth in the power and presence of God that the Kingdom of Heaven impacts our planet through our physical lives.
