The Life of Perfect Obedience
The first Adam failed where he was tested. He was placed in a garden, given a command, and he disobeyed. His disobedience brought sin and death into the world.
The second Adam, Jesus Christ, was also tested. He was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, tempted by the same devil who had deceived Eve, confronted with the same choice between obedience and disobedience.
And where the first Adam fell, the second Adam stood.
"For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin."—Hebrews 4:15
Yet without sin. In every temptation, in every testing, in every moment of His life from His birth to His death, Jesus remained perfectly obedient to the Father. He never sinned in thought, word, or deed. He never gave in to the temptations that beset Him.
He lived the life that Adam should have lived, the life that none of us could live, a life of perfect, complete, unblemished righteousness.
The sinless life of Jesus is so important in understanding our salvation in Him and what that salvation accomplished in us.
"For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous." —Romans 5:19
Adam's disobedience made us sinners. Christ's obedience makes us righteous.
Adam's failure was imputed to us, charged to our account. Christ's success is also imputed to us, credited to our account for those who believe.
His perfect life, His sinless obedience, becomes our standing before God.
We are not saved only by His death. We are also saved by His life.
