Original Sin

For Saturday, August 19, 2023:

Romans 5:18 NLT: “Yes, Adam’s one sin brings condemnation for everyone, but Christ’s one act of righteousness brings a right relationship with God and new life for everyone.”

I was asked to explain original sin. When they were created, Adam and Eve couldn’t really sin because they hadn’t been given God’s Law. But when they disobeyed and ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, sin became possible. They now knew right from wrong. They had been given God’s value system, and would understand when they were operating outside God’s standards.

Jesus was sent to remove mankind’s sin problem. Jesus offered forgiveness and reconciliation. All we have to do is stick with Jesus, claiming him as our Savior.

Jesus was God’s plan to put our relationship with him back the way it was originally designed.
