In other words, if God did not subject sinful humanity with a curse of death, sinful man would not have any chance of being reconciled back to God. So the irony of it all is that while the wages of sin is death, and while death is the last enemy that would eventually be destroyed at the final consummation of all things, the entrance of physical death is also the mechanism that allows for the Gospel of redemption. No physical death, no redemption by a Kinsman-Redeemer, no hope for a future restoration and union with Christ. So while death is an enemy, and while creation itself was subjected by God to futility, and while the wages of sin is death Romans ; through Christ, one day, at the final consummation, death will lose its sting 1 Corinthians — Through Christ, the entrance of physical death into the world as a result of sin, serves as the means through which the Messiah would be able to reconcile His people back to Himself by dying on the cross in redemption.

Through Christ, creation itself would one day be restored to its former glory and more. Finally, through Christ, all who believe in Him would one day be redeemed, resurrected and restored in perfect union with God; God will recreate a New Heaven and a New Earth, and death itself would one day be destroyed forever 1 Corinthians As Romans —23 explains, the entrance of physical death in Genesis 3, through Christ, serves the purpose of bringing about the eventual spiritual reconciliation and physical resurrection of all believers; and so that creation itself would one day be set free from the curse.

The biblical account of creation in Genesis, the historical reality of the fall of man, and the entrance of physical sin, are all central to the gospel and our blessed hope. One day, all of creation would be restored to its former glory. Death, suffering, sin, and the curse will be done away with. When that happens, believers will once again have access to the Tree of Life which will once again be present in the New Heaven and New Earth. Revelation , , 14, Together, these verses paint for us the foundational elements of the Gospel. Through the first Adam, death entered the world.

Through the last Adam, Jesus Christ, death on the cross becomes the means through which Creation is reconciled and restored; and when all is completed, death itself, the last enemy, will be forever destroyed. The Bible tells us that the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord Romans In other words, the reason we die and the reason we are in need of salvation is because we are all sinners.

Thankfully, we also know from the next three verses that follow, that Jesus came to undo the curse of sin and to grant us eternal life. How is this possible?

Scripture not found.

The Bible tells us that to redeem us, God had to become incarnate as man, live a perfect sinless life on our behalf, and then, as our Kinsman-Redeemer , die on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins. By paying the penalty for sin through his death, those who believe in Him might be reconciled back to God cf. John As our substitute on the cross, Jesus satisfied the wrath of God through his death; and all believers are in turn credited with the righteousness that belongs to Christ.

One day when Christ returns, Jesus will restore His Acts creation to a state where once again, there will no longer be any more death and suffering. Jesus will redeem, restore, recover, return, renew creation and resurrect every believer. We have supplied this link to an article on an external website in good faith.

Helpful Resources. Genesis Account. Hard cover. Soft cover. Creation Evangelism in an Islam-Aware World. Lester V. US December 9th, Another factor involved is found in the verb "know". Since God is omniscient, He knows everything. But Adam and Eve only knew what He told them. They knew Good because they knew God. The prohibition of eating of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was intended to protect them from "knowing" evil in a personal and intimate way. This alternate definition of the verb "know" is seen in its being used to describe the intimate sexual "knowledge" between a husband and his wife.

If Adam and Eve had not eaten of the "forbidden fruit" they would have had no knowledge of the impact of evil. God told them everything they needed to know to live full and productive lives. They decided that they wanted to experience first hand the knowledge of evil, rather than trusting what God had told them. It was their desire to be independent of God that resulted in the Fall, and humans suffer from the same desire today, rejecting the revealed Word of God for man's fallible ideas.

John H. GB December 9th, Virtually every writer of Christian books state that we humans rebelled against God or the world is as it is because Adam sinned. Careful reading of Genesis does not agree with these claims nor do subsequent statements found in the New Testament. We know by reading Genesis that Adam and Eve were in a complete state of innocents when they were deceived by the subtle serpent, which God had created, into committing an act of disobedience.

I offer the following two of a number of passages that confirmed that we are all victims of the works of the Devil. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil Rev AND I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden of Eden so the could not eat from the tree of life and perpetuate everlasting sin.

Joel Tay December 15th, Dear John, 1. The Bible tells us that Eve was deceived, but Adam was not deceived. Adam's rebellion against God was deliberate. Neither does the Bible teach that Satan fell before creation. Genesis 1 tell us that after God created the heavens and the Earth Genesis , everything God had made was very good. All rights reserved. No fruit pops up so frequently in Western art, literature, and everyday speech as the apple.

Odysseus, later struggling to get home from it, yearns for the garden he had as a child, populated by apple trees. The Norse gods owed their immortality to apples. The Arabian Nights features a magic apple from Samarkand capable of curing all human diseases—predating the belief that an apple a day will keep the doctor away, a proverb that first appeared in print in Various suggestions include everything from figs, grapes, and citrons to olives, apricots, bananas, pomegranates, and grapefruit.

Similar disagreements rage over probable locations of the Garden of Eden, which range from Turkey to Ohio, Mongolia, and the North Pole. A engraving by Albrecht Durer shows Adam and Eve with apples; and 16th-century paintings by Lucas Cranach and Titian show Adam and Eve under particularly tempting apple trees. Apples, taxonomically, are members of Rosaceae, the Rose family, along with such other yummy edibles as pears, plums, peaches, cherries, strawberries, and raspberries.

DNA analysis indicates that apples originated in the mountains of Kazakhstan, where the wild Malus sieversii— the many-times great-grandparent of Malus domestica , the modern domesticated apple—still flourishes. Apples are a victim of their own genetic creativity, a characteristic known to botanists as extreme heterozygosity. This is great for evolution, producing thousands of diverse apple varieties, adapted to every environment from North Dakota to New Zealand. In apples, the only guarantee of reproducibility is grafting, which is how our modern eating apples are propagated.

John Chapman of Leominster, Massachusetts —a. But he had already just sated his hunger on the first few nondescript trees he had come upon, and for the moment he had no desire to eat another thing. He told himself to try the tree of life very soon. There were many trees in the garden, each lovely to look at and good for food.

Adam heard the chilling words and understood them. But as soon as the sound of the words died away, he realized that he had no idea which of the innumerable trees in the garden was the one whose fruit he had been warned not to eat. True, all the trees were not perfectly identical, but there was nothing so obvious about the forbidden tree—nothing so striking in its bark or its girth, or the flowers that it bore or the color and shape of its fruit—to fix it forever in his memory. He looked around, and in every direction there were trees, all of them beautiful and inviting.
