Subject: Why did God put us on earth with satin? |
Bible Note: Hi TC and welcome to the forum. I see that you are an early riser by looking at the time you posted, that or you are on the other side of the pond; most likely? I wouldn’t stay awake waiting for an answer from CWA. There was only one post made by that member and it was the one you answered from way back in March of 2001. You can see when a person sends a post or message by looking on the far right side of the screen where the time and dates are listed. You can also read a little something about the author of any message by clicking the person’s name. The way I see it, our sin, as you mentioned, is a genetic condition that we received from our first parent, i.e. Adam. We are all born of Adam with the exception of Jesus, thus we inherit our old sin nature from the male gender. 1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Most don’t think its right that we inherit something from Adam just because “he” made a bad decision, but the truth of the matter is we are all in the same position as our first parents when it comes to making the decision. We can either chose to believe what God did for us in the person of His Son Jesus or we can reject Him; Jesus paid the price that God demands for our eternal future. “In” Christ shall all be made alive. God places us positionally, “in Christ” the very moment we fully trust in God’s unique Son. 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Ephes. 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, John 3:36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him." I hope you enjoy the forum, CDBJ |
