“Adam’s One Sin =Condemnation; Jesus’ One Act = Righteousness”

“Adam’s One Sin = Condemnation; Jesus’ One Act=Righteousness”

 

Because one-person disobeyed God, many became sinners.  But because one other person obeyed God, many will be made righteous.  Romans 5:19

 

EVERYONE was going to be PUNISHED because Adam SINNED, he DISOBEYED GOD. The One who CREATED HIM from the DUST of the GROUND. And yet he fell to the TEMPTATION brought on by the WOMAN that GOD had provided for Adam, Eve was to be a HELPER and a companion to Adam.

The LORD God had filled the garden with all kinds of beautiful trees and fruit trees. Two other trees were in the middle of the garden.  One gave LIFE—the other gave WISDOM to know the DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT and WRONG. The LORD God put the man in the Garden of Eden as the CARETAKER, and God told Adam: “You may EAT fruit from ANY tree in the garden, except the one that has POWER for you to KNOW the DIFFERENCE between RIGHT and WRONG. If you EAT ANY FRUIT from that TREE, you will die before the day is over.” (Vv 9, 15-17).

Adam’s DISOBEDIENCE was the very FIRST SIN, the one that started it ALL. The serpent (devil), met up with Eve and ENTICED her to eat from the Tree that GOD had told them NOT TO EAT FROM, or they would DIE.  However, Eve FELL to the temptation and ate a piece of FRUIT from THAT TREE!!  Adam was with Eve at that time, and she gave him some of the fruit and HE ATE IT TOO!! They had BOTH disobeyed GOD, and they were banished from the BEAUTIFUL GARDEN that God had CREATED for them. 

So, because Adam’s one SIN brings CONDEMNATION on ALL of MANKIND, GOD gave mankind the LAW so that ALL PEOPLE COULD see HOW SINFUL they were. And as people SIN MORE and MORE, GOD’S WONDERFUL GRACE becomes MORE ABUNDANT.

Just as SIN RULES OVER ALL PEOPLE and brings them to DEATH. God’s WONDERFUL GRACE RULES INSTEAD, giving us RIGHT STANDING with GOD, which results in ETERNAL LIFE through the LORD JESUS CHRIST who GAVE HIMSELF to SUFFER, BLEED, DIE and BE RESURRECTED from DEATH and the GRAVE. SO, we can have ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS and to ESCAPE HELL with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there. 

 To be ABLE to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD, when His Spirit begins to CONVICT YOU of your SINS, you MUST COME TO CHRIST and ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. You MUST BELIEVE that JESUS DIED for YOU and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN making intercession for you before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to HIM and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS. You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your SINFUL LIFESTYLE and TURN TO GOD with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT God’s Gift of SALVATION and BE OBEDIENT to GOD and SPEND YOUR ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL CAN.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t Be LEFT BEHIND!!!
