So
then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even
so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all
men.
Romans 5:18 New American Standard
Bible (NASB)
We have salvation through
Jesus. He died so that we could be covered by His righteousness. But we need
that because one man, the first man, sinned. As a result, we all have a sin
nature and are condemned. If it were not right for Adam’s sin to affect all of
us, then it would also not be right for Jesus’ sacrifice to affect all of us.
It is because of Adam’s sin that we need Jesus’ sacrifice. If Adam’s sin didn’t
affect us we wouldn’t need Jesus. Adam’s sin cursed all of creation instantly,
and flawed creatures produce more flawed creatures, after their own kind as God
designed. Perfection cannot be made by imperfection. Instead of rebelling at
the idea that we are cursed by Adam, praise God that we are saved by Jesus!
