LET’S GET TO KNOW THE TRUTH!
↪️Through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin;
that is, As we see from Genesis chapters 1 and 2, there was no sin in the beginning and there was no death as the wages of sin, and the earth was blessed it is a history.
↪️Death came to all men because all sinned.
In Adam’s day there was no religious law but natural law, and according to natural law Adam is the father of all living men.
So when he sinned and died spiritually as a sinner, all people were called sinners like him and death came to everyone and we became spiritually dead. That is why 1 Cor 15/22 says that in Adam all die.
↪️From the time of Adam to the time of Moses
(When the law was not given) death prevailed even over those who did not make the same mistake as Adam.
The most important point to note here is that Adam voluntarily broke the commandment God had set for him and became a sinner (spiritually dead). All other human races, however, are not sinners of their own free will.
The rest of the human race became sinners because of the sin they inherited from Adam. Since the human race after Adam are not sinners by knowingly sinning like Adam and Adam was a type of Christ who was to come bringing grace and life, God, who is far above sin, gave His grace and free gift(life) through His Son ‘atu and made available.
↪️God’s grace and gift to mankind through His Son is not the same as the harm/destruction caused by Adam’s sin.
This means that Adam’s sin caused great harm/destruction, but Almighty God, who saved all people by hiding the harm and gave them life, made His grace manifest through Christ.
↪️The judgment for the one sin of Adam brought guilt; that is, the one sin that Adam committed in the beginning made him and all mankind guilty.
God’s grace and free gift (life) came upon many people’s sins but brought righteousness. In other words, just as through one trespass the judgment came upon all men to condemnation, so also through one act of righteousness the free gift came upon all men to justification of life.(Rom.5/12,21)
Blessed be me!
