When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, he didn't have to sin against God. Adam was the best of us, not the worst god who is good and never does anything that is cruel. Adam, because of the way that God created him in this state of innocence, had at his disposal the power to please God. And yet, Adam, in Adam, chose to rebel with God. Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, so death spread to all men because all sinned in Adam. And if we object to the idea of having someone else represent us before God, we lose the entirety of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

00:00:00.000 Hey guys, real quick before we get started, I have a small request.
00:00:03.380 If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show,
00:00:06.480 would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?
00:00:09.740 This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do
00:00:12.900 to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible.
00:00:17.560 Thanks.
00:00:19.720 Jesus said,
00:00:20.820 Man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:25.480 You're listening to Daily Truth.
00:00:30.000 When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit, he didn't have to.
00:00:35.800 Adam did not have to sin against God.
00:00:38.480 Adam, because of the way that God created him in this state of innocence,
00:00:42.980 Adam had at his disposal the power to please God.
00:00:48.800 Adam freely chose to rebel.
00:00:51.720 And you and I, in Adam, chose to rebel with him.
00:00:57.120 Verse 12.
00:00:57.720 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned.
00:01:07.940 We all sinned and we all sinned in Adam.
00:01:12.800 This is the doctrine of federal headship.
00:01:15.220 This is the understanding of a covenant head, a covenant father.
00:01:19.140 This is the understanding that someone else represents you.
00:01:23.240 and it is at this precise point that many in our culture today like to object
00:01:30.220 i don't want to be represented by adam that blockhead 0.52
00:01:35.480 and my goodness god was walking with him and eve in the cool of every day 0.80
00:01:41.340 they lived in paradise and he still couldn't get it right
00:01:45.640 see that sentiment although it seemingly is logical is rooted in immense arrogance
00:01:55.180 brothers and sisters adam was the best of us not the worst god who is good and never does anything
00:02:03.960 that is cruel did not set up for us a federal head a representative who was a failure adam was
00:02:11.560 the best of us, you and I would have done no better. And even more important than that, if we
00:02:20.020 object to the idea of the doctrine of federal headship, of having someone else represent us
00:02:26.200 before God, we lose the entirety of the gospel of Jesus Christ. For if you object to the idea of
00:02:35.540 being in Adam then you must with consistency and integrity reject the idea of being in Christ
00:02:44.440 if man is not in Adam and if God is not just in his decision to count the actions of Adam
00:02:53.680 as representative of us then God cannot justly pardon the wicked by counting the righteous acts
00:03:00.300 of Christ to our account if you cannot be in Adam if God is unfair to count you in Adam
00:03:07.700 then God would be logically by that faulty logic unfair in counting you and being in Christ you
00:03:13.840 were in Adam you and I believe it or not we were there that day that fateful day in the garden of
00:03:23.180 when the serpent slithered in to the field
00:03:27.800 and began to speak to the woman
00:03:30.560 and Adam listened to his wife.
00:03:34.920 That's what God says when he comes
00:03:36.320 and deals out judgment
00:03:37.360 because you have listened to your wife.
00:03:41.820 He listens to his wife.
00:03:43.900 He is led astray
00:03:45.160 and he willfully rebels against God.
00:03:50.560 And on that day, you and I were there.
00:03:53.180 In the very same way that Levi was there when Abraham paid tithes to Melchizedek,
00:04:00.720 you and I were there when Adam forfeited his life. 0.67
00:04:08.060 You and I are guilty both under a compatibilistic understanding of freely sinning
00:04:13.880 and a libertarian understanding of freely sinning.
00:04:17.200 Sin came into the world through one man and death through sin.
00:04:23.180 But that death spread to all men because all of us sinned.
00:04:29.340 We all sinned in Adam.
00:04:32.860 And if you object to the idea of being represented by Adam
00:04:36.780 and the death that he brings,
00:04:39.900 then you are objecting to the idea of the gospel of Jesus Christ
00:04:43.440 and being represented by Jesus and the life that he brings.
00:04:47.920 You cannot have it both ways.
00:04:49.940 Thanks so much for listening.
00:04:50.860 But real quick, before you go, do us a small favor, take a moment, and leave us a five-star review if you enjoyed the show.
00:04:58.360 This is undoubtedly the best way that you can help us get this biblically faithful content to as many people as possible.
00:05:05.740 Thanks so much.
