Sure of Death, Sure of Life.

Do you believe that humankind was sinless until Adam and Eve were seduced by Satan in the Garden of Eden, letting sin be conceived in themselves by temptation?

If you believe in God, then you have to believe this, you have to believe that sin began in humankind the moment Adam and Eve- the two that were one -

Gen 2:24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. 

As one flesh they sinned.

And because they sinned humankind continued in a world of sin.

By one sin entered into the world, and death with that sin. We - all of us human beings - inherited the sin curse and death. We cannot deny that we die. There is no doubt that death exists, none at all.

If we CAN believe that by one man sin entered into the world, then we should have no problem believing that by one man sin is abolished and life is brought to all humankind.

Rom 5:12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: 
Rom 5:13  (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 
Rom 5:14  Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 
Rom 5:15  But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. 
Rom 5:16  And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification. 
Rom 5:17  For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.) 
Rom 5:18  Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. 
Rom 5:19  For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. 
Rom 5:20  Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: 
Rom 5:21  That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. 

This is truth!

Sin by one, Life by One.

By grace, by the gift of righteousness found in Jesus Christ we can have eternal life, just as surely as we have a claim to death.
