The Victory

1 Corinthians 15:56-57 (ESV)

56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Adam brought the sting of death into the world. Israel delivered the power of sin through the law. Jesus brings victory over sin and death. Through his descendants, the earth of man is worked and the fruit of his labors is multiplying throughout the land. 

God has breathed the breath of His life into man by becoming a man. He has combined the breath of man with the Holy Spirit in His Son, and has brought the flesh of man into the kingdom of heaven. 

In doing so, He has perfected man in the image of God and His work of creation is complete.
