Subject: Did Adam die lost? |
Bible Note: Possibly, however, if you remember correctly, Adam and Eve's choice of a name for their child reflected their anticipation of a Messiah. I think that sufficiently indicates their faith. And when Paul is listing those who were saved by faith, there were *many* more who were also saved by faith but who were not necessarily listed. IMHO, those lists were of people who demonstrated their faithfulness in extraordinary ways. And frankly, I doubt I would have listed Adam as a person of extraordinary faithfulness. Abel on the other hand realized the importance of a blood sacrifice, as opposed to any old sacrifice. He understood that something had to take his place. And God honored that. |
