Commentaries:

All mankind has sinned (Romans 3:23), and "the wages of sin is [eternal] death" (Romans 6:23). The Logos became a mortal man so He could die to pay the death penalty for the sins of all mankind. Christ was able to do this because His human life was far more valuable than the lives of all human beings put together—He was God incarnate—GOD made flesh (John 1:14).
What It Means to Be Born Again
The Pathfinder, the Archegos, the Author of our salvation went before us. He is pulling us back to Him once again, saying, "This is what you can become. Don't neglect it!" (verses 1-3). "Pick up the pieces," He is saying, "and go on."
