Subject: Adams sin? |
Bible Note: Dear Brother Mark, Nope. At least, I did not intend to say that "people will be judged guilty of Adam's sin." When Adam fell, the whole human race fell (Job 14:4; Psalms 51:5; Romans 5:12-19; 6:20; 1 Corinthians 15:21, 22, 45, 49; Ephesians 2:3; 1 Thessalonians 1:10; Hebrews 2:14-15). It is what makes us utterly odious to a holy and righteous God. My sin is simply a natural manifestation of that corrupt nature (Matthew 15:17-20; Luke 6:43-45). Do you ever sing "Rock of Ages?" See the line that goes "Be of sin the double cure." Ever wonder what Augustus Toplady meant by the phrase "double cure?" By one man death entered the world (Romans 5:12), by one Man life entered the world (Romans 5:17). (see also Romans 5:19) I inherited the corrupt nature from Adam. However, I also have personally committed acts of rebellion which merit death (Ezekiel 18:4b, 20a; Romans 3:23; 1 John 3:4). The atonement of Christ accomplished two things ("cures" as Toplady put it, in 18th century English): (1) the remedy for the corrupt nature I inherited from Adam and (2) the remedy for the sins I've committed. Christ not only took care of the corrupt fruit, He took care of the corrupt tree! :-) Imputation is a doctrine also found in Isaiah 61:10, Jeremiah 23:6, Romans 3:22, 5:12-19, 1 Corinthians 1:30, 2 Corinthians 5:21, etc. Like justification, it is a forensic term.
