Henry Schorr's main point is that through Jesus Christ, we can be part of a new family, free from the sinful nature and death that entered the world through Adam's disobedience. He explains that Adam's sin had a ripple effect, passing down a sin nature to all future generations, resulting in spiritual death and separation from God. However, Jesus' death on the cross provided a way for us to be born again into His family, giving us a new perspective, hope, and authority to say no to sin. Schorr emphasizes that as Christians, we must accept this new identity and not continue to live as slaves to our old sinful nature, but instead, reign in life through Jesus Christ, who has broken the power of sin and given us His life and authority.
