ADAM’S SIN, OUR SIN
“Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. For just as through the disobedience of the one man, the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One Man, the many will be made righteous.” Romans 5:18-19
I was having a discussion with my daughter the other day and her question was” “So, it was Adam’s fault that we are in the state we are in?” Of course, it was Adam (and Eve) who first sinned, but I think if it wasn’t them, it would have been someone else at some point. We hear in Genesis about Cain killing his brother. If Adam and Eve hadn’t sinned would Cain still have murdered his brother? Maybe Cain would have been the first to disobey God and let sin enter the world. I don’t know. We do know that Lucifer was a cherished angel of God before he rebelled. He wanted what God had, he wanted to be God. It was his voice in the garden that enticed Eve to choose the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and eat of it. It was his voice, through Eve, who tempted Adam to eat of it also. And it was his voice who whispered in Cain’s ear that God loved Abel more. We live in a fallen world and Satan has dominion over it now. The result of the one trespass was condemnation for all men but… “the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Rom. 6:23b).
It really doesn’t matter who is to blame for sin entering the world. All we have to know is that there is ONE Who was obedient “…to death – even death on a cross.” (Phil. 2:8b). Through His obedience to death, we can have life. “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.” (Rom. 8:1). We have been set FREE from the condemnation of sin. We have been set FREE from the dominion of Satan in this world. All we have to do is reach out and accept the FREE gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. Adam might have been the instrument in bringing condemnation and sin into the world but we all sin and all need a Savior. Thank God for THE ONE Who chose to obey and gave “…His life as a ransom for many.” (Matt. 20:28). Especially me!
