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
00:01:35.480 and my goodness god was walking with him and eve in the cool of every day
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.
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.
