The original sin was stealing something that didn't belong to Adam and Eve... and what was that? The right to decide for themselves (without consulting God) what was good and what was evil. Only the Creator really possesses that type of knowledge and thus the reason for mankind's plight today. Before sin, Adam and Eve were perfect. After sin, they could only pass on imperfection to all of mankind and the result has been devastating... Rom 5:12 says: "Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned." This puts all of mankind on the same imperfect level and it's why Jesus sacrificial life was necessary. A perfect life (Jesus) to atone the once perfect life of Adam - perfect justice. Now, we all must excercise faith in that sacrifice, not with words only but more importantly with action - yes, the manner in which we live our lives. It will show whether we are still partaking of that fruit of knowledge of good and evil or whether we will allow God Almighty to decide for us what is good and what is evil through the pages of His word. |
