DISCIPLE?
Then I am; too!
I AM a sinner, and I NEED salvation...
Luke 1:47 ... and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior
Hint: only SINFUL people need a Savior.
People need a Savior for two reasons: either to remove sin or to prevent sin.
There are two ways to be saved from a pit: by being hauled out of it, or by being prevented from falling into it--- with the understanding that falling in is something that would have occurred without God's intervention.
This Scripture brilliantly applies to Mary, and of course not only to Mary:
Eph 1:3-6, 11-12
Brothers and sisters:
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in Christ
with every spiritual blessing in the heavens,
as he chose us in him, before the foundation of the world,
to be holy and without blemish before him.
In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ,
in accord with the favor of his will,
for the praise of the glory of his grace
that he granted us in the beloved.
In him we were also chosen,
destined in accord with the purpose of the One
who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will,
so that we might exist for the praise of his glory,
we who first hoped in Christ.
I hardly think God would choose, prepare and predestine a mother for His Son who would be inferior, in nature, to Eve--- I'm speaking of sinless Eve, "Eve 1.0", when she was still in Eden before the Fall.
If Mary is the Blessed among women, it is reasonable to think she would have received from the hand of God an undamaged human nature, just as Eve had at first had an undamaged human nature --- though the first Eve blew it by her sin.
