LIFE AND INCORRUPTION BROUGHT TO LIGHT 99
from year to year which they offer continually
make those who approach perfect . Otherwise,
would the sacrifices not have stopped being offered,
because those rendering sacred service who
had been cleansed once for all time would have no
consciousness of sins any more? To the contrary,
by these sacrifices there is a reminding of sins from
year to year, for it is not possible for the blood
of bulls and of goats to take sins away ." Hebrews
10 :1-4, NW No man, from Abel to John
the Baptist, could offer the needed human sacrifice,
because they all drew their existence from
sinner Adam and were condemned for inborn sin .
So they had no right to perfect human life which
they could sacrifice for others . Moreover, no man
could ascend to heaven to pay the needed human
ransom to God . No man of flesh and blood can
approach glorious Jehovah God and yet live .
-Exodus 33 :20.

Were it not for the promises of Jehovah God
from Eden forward, the prospect of life and incorruption
for human creatures would have been
absolutely dark. What, then, brought the opportunity
for life and incorruption to the light of reality?
The sending of God's Son from heaven four
thousand years after Eden did so . Then he was
manifested to be the Seed of God's "woman", the
Seed who suffers the heel-wound from the Serpent
but who is to crush the Serpent's head and
bless all families of the earth . So with the apostle
Paul all his fellow Christians can say : God

us?
