Subject: Given the chance to repent |
Bible Note: I see that it is not easy to please you, but I will try one more time. The fact is, my friend, that Adam did die on the day that he ate of the fruit. God's word is true. God does not lie. He said Adam would die on the day that he ate of the fruit and Adam did die the day that he ate of the fruit. You must understand what the word "die" means. I hope you will consider two Bible passages concering this. Ephesians 2:1 You hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 1Timothy 5:6 She that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth. You see, we are body, soul, and spirit. While our body is still alive, our spirit can be dead, being separated from God. Thus Adam died. He was driven from the presence of God. He was separated from God. So in that sense he was dead. He died the day that he sinned. Similarly, we are dead in sin until we are forgiven and saved. I trust this clears it up and we do not need to go back to the story of Uzzah. But he was spiritually dead because of his sin in rebelling against God. He was aware of his sin, but he had not repented. In God's wisdom he cut off his opportunities to repent by taking his life. Now, I trust this answer is short enough and contains enough pertinent scripture to give you understanding. |
