00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.360 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.440 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.760 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.880 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17.540 Thanks.
00:00:19.700 Jesus said,
00:00:20.820 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.460 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30.000 But it's important for us to recognize Adam, before sin entered the world,
00:00:33.140 he had a really sweet gig.
00:00:36.420 And he failed in this perfect environment.
00:00:41.240 And then the last Adam, Christ, think of this.
00:00:44.100 The serpent comes to Christ also and tempts him.
00:00:47.340 So Adam is in a garden surrounded by God's provision.
00:00:51.820 Christ, the last Adam, is in the wilderness, 40 days without water and food.
00:00:57.920 his flesh is weary his body is weak and the serpent comes to christ and tempts him
00:01:06.760 and he resists so so adam in set up for success right adam's like he's playing basketball
00:01:16.220 on a six-foot rim brick just can't you know and then jesus is dunking on a 12-foot rim
00:01:27.360 And in every way that the first Adam failed,
00:01:30.060 the second Adam has succeeded, the last Adam, who is Christ.
00:01:33.860 And here's the reality.
00:01:34.700 As it comes to our identity, for all of humanity,
00:01:37.620 there are only two ultimate identities that a person can have.
00:01:40.880 We need to be aware of this.
00:01:41.900 See, God works in covenants.
00:01:44.080 We have to understand this.
00:01:45.340 And so as it pertains to covenants, there's always,
00:01:47.780 God makes a covenant with a head,
00:01:50.640 someone who is representative of that people.
00:01:54.220 So whether it's Abraham or Noah or whatever it might be, David over Israel, these kinds of things.
00:02:00.040 So God made a covenant with Adam in the garden.
00:02:02.140 This is the covenant of works.
00:02:03.640 Adam failed.
00:02:04.500 And because Adam failed, because Adam sinned, all of us in Adam are lawbreakers.
00:02:11.280 We are covenant breakers and underneath God's just wrath.
00:02:15.720 But in Christ, we are righteous.
00:02:20.060 Covenant keepers.
00:02:21.140 So what I'm saying is this.
00:02:22.560 In the final analysis, a very sprawl thing to say, but in the final analysis, we're actually
00:02:27.720 saved by works, just not our works.
00:02:31.480 We're saved by the works of Christ.
00:02:34.640 You see what I'm saying?
00:02:35.420 So there's a covenant of works that Christ kept.
00:02:39.220 He didn't come to abolish the law.
00:02:40.460 He fulfilled it.
00:02:41.240 He fulfilled all righteousness.
00:02:43.180 And in fulfilling this covenant of works, you and I, not by our merit, not by our works,
00:02:48.120 but through faith in him, his works, his sinless life, his act of obedience,
00:02:53.240 his substitutionary death, bodily resurrection, ascension to the right hand of the Father,
00:02:57.600 and believing in Christ through faith,
00:02:59.900 his covenant keeping is accredited to our account as though we had kept the covenant.
00:03:05.740 So the only identity you can have is in Adam or in Christ.
00:03:10.660 In Adam, dead and justly condemned as a covenant breaker.
00:03:15.240 In Christ, alive.
00:03:18.120 as a covenant keeper.
00:03:19.760 You didn't keep the covenant,
00:03:21.160 but he kept the covenant in your place.
00:03:23.740 And God views you as though you had done
00:03:26.480 and fulfilled all that righteousness yourself.
00:03:29.380 Thanks so much for listening.
00:03:30.680 But real quick, before you go,
00:03:32.620 do us a small favor, take a moment,
00:03:34.680 and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:03:37.880 This is undoubtedly the best way
00:03:40.220 that you can help us get this biblically faithful content
00:03:43.120 to as many people as possible.
00:03:45.280 Thanks so much.
