Romans 3:12
12 They are [ekklino] all [pas] gone out of the way [ekklino], they are [achreioo] together [hama] become unprofitable [achreioo]; there is [esti] none [ou] that doeth [poieo] good [chrestotes], no, not [ou] one [esti] [heos] [heis]. KJV-Interlinear
12 All
have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not
even one.” ESV
When God looks down at humanity, He sees no one who is
righteous. None have gone or lived the
life of righteousness or truth. All have
sinned. All, together, are equally
deficient, useless, unprofitable.
All of humanity, from Adam to the last person who will
ever be born at the end of history, are corrupt, putrid, useless, offensive.
Therefore among humanity, there is no one who can step
forward to pay the price of sin. There
is no one who can rise above their uselessness, and meet eye to eye with God.
There is no one who is capable of cleaning themselves up,
of washing themselves off.
Rotten meat cannot make itself fresh again.
Sinners cannot make themselves sinless. Even future generations are the product of
rotten parents. Rotten cannot produce
pure. Only rotten comes out of rotten.
Therefore, sinful humanity needs someone who is
sinless, to clean him up, and of course that person is Jesus Christ.
Remember that in Adam all have sinned. Sin is passed down through humanity through
the male. Jesus did not have a male
father. Joseph was not a party to the
pregnancy of Mary. Thus the virgin
birth.
Thus Jesus was born without a sin nature.
Just as Adam was created without a sin nature.
Adam failed, Jesus did not.
