God's Answer To The Problem of Sin Romans 5:6-10 God’s provision for human sin is the blood that Jesus Christ shed on Calvary’s Cross. When He was crucified, Christ bore the penalty for all sin of all mankind, and all who look to the Cross and trust Jesus as their Savior will escape the wrath of God. However, God also gave us a provision to deal with the principle of sin that lives within every person because of the fall of Adam and Eve: the Holy Spirit. He lives within each believer to empower us to overcome temptation and the power of sin. "For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life" (Romans 5:10). How refreshing and encouraging it is to know that, while Jesus’ death paid for our sin, we are just as powerfully saved day to day through His resurrected life. Colossians 3:1-10 explains how we are new creations set apart by God for holiness. We should always be careful never to lower the standard of holiness to which the Lord calls us. While we should be thankful for Jesus’ sacrifice, we should celebrate His very life living on the inside of us. He condescends to lovingly live His life through believers to enable us to live victoriously in these human bodies. It would be impossible without Him. |

May the following be offered for your evaluation: (Gen 3:21) Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them. Commentary from Mathew Henry Gen 3:21 - We have here a further instance of God's care concerning our first parents, notwithstanding their sin. Though he corrects his disobedient children, and put them under the marks of his displeasure, yet he does not disinherit them, but, like a tender father, provides the herb of the field for their food and coats of skins for their clothing. Thus the father provided for the returning prodigal, Luk_15:22, Luk_15:23. If the Lord had been pleased to kill them, he would not have done this for them. Observe, 1. That clothes came in with sin. We should have had no occasion for them, either for defence or decency, if sin had not made us naked, to our shame. Little reason therefore we have to be proud of our clothes, which are but the badges of our poverty and infamy. 2. That when God made clothes for our first parents he made them warm and strong, but coarse and very plain: not robes of scarlet, but coats of skin. Their clothes were made, not of silk and satin, but plain skins; not trimmed, nor embroidered, none of the ornaments which the daughters of Sion afterwards invented, and prided themselves in. Let the poor, that are meanly clad, learn hence not to complain: having food and a covering, let them be content; they are as well done to as Adam and Eve were. And let the rich, that are finely clad, learn hence not to make the putting on of apparel their adorning, 1Pe_3:3. 3. That God is to be acknowledged with thankfulness, not only in giving us food, but in giving us clothes also, Gen_28:20. The wool and the flax are his, as well as the corn and the wine, Hos_2:9. 4. These coats of skin had a significancy. The beasts whose skins they were must be slain, slain before their eyes, to show them what death is, and (as it is Ecc_3:18) that they may see that they themselves were beasts, mortal and dying. It is supposed that they were slain, not for food, but for sacrifice, to typify the great sacrifice, which, in the latter end of the world, should be offered once for all. Thus the first thing that died was a sacrifice, or Christ in a figure, who is therefore said to be the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. These sacrifices were divided between God and man, in token of reconciliation: the flesh was offered to God, a whole burnt-offering; the skins were given to man for clothing, signifying that, Jesus Christ having offered himself to God a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savour, we are to clothe ourselves with his righteousness as with a garment, that the shame of our nakedness may not appear. Adam and Eve made for themselves aprons of fig-leaves, a covering too narrow for them to wrap themselves in, Isa_28:20. Such are all the rags of our own righteousness. But God made them coats of skins; large, and strong, and durable, and fit for them; such is the righteousness of Christ. Therefore put on the Lord Jesus Christ. |
