THEOLOGY OF PAUL M.M.NINAN ___________________________________________________________ Gal 4:1-3 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no better than a slave, though he is the owner of all the estate; but he is under guardians and trustees until the date set by the father. So with us; when we were children, we were slaves to the elemental spirits of the universe. Gen 4:4 but when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir. Once again Man will regain his unfallen glory with angels as their ministering spirits. Heb 1:14 But … angel …. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation? 1Co 6:3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? As a result of the fall, the creation was subjected to decay and death in order to limit the length of human life. Thus the law of nature was changed so that everything will go from order to disorder and eventually human body will die. This was in fact a blessing that the selfish mankind may not suffer too long. Imagine living in a selfish society eternally – ages after ages without end - each person trying to exploit the other and lording over the others. Thus Man was barred from getting the fruit of the Tree of Life. But God did not do this without a plan to redeem all creation. His plan was to redeem mankind and once this redemption was achieved the whole creation will be released from its law of order to disorder and the law will be reversed to grow from glory unto glory. This is the reversal of the principle of Second Law of Thermodynamics. Every Physicist knows that there is no a priori reason for the current state of order to disorder law. 46
THEOLOGY OF PAUL M.M.NINAN ___________________________________________________________ The Plan was that this will be reversed when mankind is redeemed to their rightful state of Sons of God. It was this reversal process that was started by Jesus at the instant of resurrection. The body of Jesus which was destined to decay in the cave was instantly reversed from decay to fullness of life. It is this resurrection power that will transform every man when they put their trust in Jesus. 1Co 15:21-22 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. Rom 8:19-24 “For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the sons of God; for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of him who subjected it in hope; because the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and obtain the glorious liberty of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies. For in this hope we were saved. “ The redemption is not a one time event. This is because of the choice given to free willed created beings. That is why resurrection occurs in order. Co 15:22-24 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. Then comes the end. 47
