Adam's Failure, Christ's Strength

Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast, a daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. Adam's Failure, Christ's Strength. 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. Romans five eighteen.

When Adam rebelled against God, he experienced many new things. Things that have haunted mankind ever since. All these things were experienced by Christ in an intense way as He redeemed fallen mankind and the cursed creation. Adam had never seen or experienced death until he sinned. Adam and Eve had been naked and unashamed, but sin distorted everything.

Before sin, Adam and Eve had known only blessing. but the universal curse followed. They had known joy and fellowship. but then they knew sorrow and separation. They had lived in a garden.

But then the plants brought forth thorns. Prior to Sen, they had been given work. but because of sin they would sweat as they toiled. The angel's weapon kept them from returning to Eden, and outside violets reigned. Childbearing was originally created to be easy, but then was accompanied by sorrow.

Likewise, Christ experienced death on the cross, but by his resurrection he conquered death. He experienced nakedness, the full thrust of the curse, sorrow, and separation from God. cruel thorns were placed on his head, and he sweat great drops of blood. the soldier's weapon pierced him, finally ending a series of violent acts. But through his suffering He overcame the curse and redeemed his fallen creation.

As a result, many children have been brought forth, reborn into a glorious state through his suffering. If you've enjoyed today's devotional, be sure to subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts.
