Hebrews 1:3 (KJV) 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
He upholds all things by His Word. Man needed righteousness because Adam had handed all of his authority, which was given to him by God, over to Satan. Adam had the legal right to give it away, but that meant that for God to be able to redeem man, He had to do it through legal means.
This is the Bible Study, "The Bible in the Light of our Redemption," by E.W. Kenyon, which we started during quarantine. The book is available on Amazon, and it is an amazing way to build up our foundational beliefs that have maybe gotten skewed by "the traditions of man," or were just never put in place to begin with. I hope that you will join us in our journey to fall in love with God all over again.
