His name was Adam, and if there had been a phonebook, that’s the only name that would have been in it. This was a very intelligent man because he could do something that you can’t do and that is-name all the animals. He even had the privilege of speaking with God.
Yet with all of that advantage, the thought struck him that he could make a go of it in this world without God’s presence. Now that’s a dumb thought for the smartest man in the world. It didn’t work out very well, and the repercussions are still being felt at the present time.
What the first Adam messed up, the second Adam rectified.
Romans 5:15
But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.
I’m so glad that God sent us another Adam to clear the way for us in relation to what the first Adam destroyed.
Give it some thought.
