Romans 5:12
Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned—
Adam and Eve were literal figures, as Jesus believed. Adam was created perfectly innocent, but he didn’t stay perfectly innocent. When he partook of the fruit along with Eve, he did what GOD told him not to do.
We are faced with an amalgam of sins everyday, yet Adam only had one sin to avoid. It is very understandable, isn’t it? We face many sins, but there are some that we know clearly to avoid? Not only did Adam and Eve sin once, but they were to be caught in the grip of sin. We can’t stop sinning, but we can’t escape the grace of GOD if we continue to believe on Jesus and seek Him everyday.
Believing on Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross is greater than what Adam and Eve have lost. It is greater than the world of sin that we live in everyday!
Glory be to GOD!
