Bible Note: Jesus restored to us the place where we were before Adam chose to not believe God. Now we get to make the choice for ourselves. But you can easily do just what Adam did and choose to not believe God. The only difference is that you are only responsible for your own fall. Think of it as sin is a debt (Jesus did say "It is finished" which is what the Romans put on the documents of debts, or sentences, when they were paid). A debt puts you on the negative side of zero on the number line. Jesus paid for our sins, putting us back at zero. Accept the "free" gift and you get a credit, salvation, and you are on the positive side of zero on the number line. |
