Adam vs Jesus (Romans 5:12-21) *Verses in NKJV, except for one in NLT*
- Genesis 2:15-16, Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it. 16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
- Genesis 3:6, So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.
- God was walking through the garden and asked Adam what happened. Adam blamed the woman, the woman blamed the snake… But who did God give the command to in the first place!? (Adam)
- This is the original sin. When death entered the world. “Everything is all Adam’s fault!”
- It’s easy for us to throw Adam under the bus for this. Consider his actions…
- Adam violated all of the “manhood principles” with a cascading effect! (Sin leads to more sin!)
