Christianity
Some 2 000 years ago, the Lord Jesus Christ directly intervened in human history:
Although He is God (together with the Father and the Holy Spirit), He became a man — or, as we often put it, He became incarnate — enfleshed.
Mankind, at its very beginning in Adam and Eve, had fallen away from Divine life by embracing sin, and had fallen under the power of death.
But the Lord Jesus, by His incarnation, death upon the Cross, and subsequent resurrection from death, destroyed the power death had over men.
