An answer for the human race
1 Peter 3:21-22 New English Translation (NET Bible)
21 And this prefigured baptism, which now saves you—not the washing off of physical dirt but the pledge of a good conscience to God—through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, 22 who went into heaven and is at the right hand of God with angels and authorities and powers subject to him.
A good conscience towards God through Jesus’ resurrection
To be alive in Him is surely the answer for the human race.
Outside of that is only emptiness as formerly was stated.
“All things were without form and void”, and had darkness on its face.
But then you say, “When it all began”, there was no resurrection.
Just remember at this stage that here time had no limit.
Then an introduction into the temporal, where nothing was alive,
only time and space made into one, with the material, and spirit.
A spirit placed in the flesh is that where it all started?
Pure and clean the flesh was then to contain the walk with God.
No death and sin was ruling then, just life itself was springing
forth out of the Glory of God, Himself, that somewhere time forgot.
Then came The Fall and man’s spirit died and the flesh was soon to follow.
Things were getting worse right then until all in corruption died,
as through the flood, judgment came after Divine long suffering
and Noah preached, but none were saved, as the temporal there was tried.
Eight souls were saved from the water. They were baptized, you may say.
Cleansed and kept from judgment just Grace in Christ at work.
Now basically it is the same as judgment moves with Grace daily
through the resurrected Christ, Himself for everlasting worth.
