Romans 5:12

Sin came through Adam, Eve picked the fruit and ate yet God blames Adam??? Sin affects and infects all of mankind; we are all born sinful and broken. Sin is not a state of actions that occur once you know the difference b/w right and wrong. Sin is something you are born with and those actions later on are a symptom of the greater deeper reality…

The entire world is trying to solve, fix or work through the fact that something has gone wrong in humanity, evidenced by all the self-help books, step studies, etc. How does God fix this? In order to take care of the bad side of the scale something has to absorb the wrath. Jesus Christ absorbs God’s wrath toward sin...my sin is covered by the broken body of Jesus Christ, justification and life. (Romans 8:30-39)

The debate can go round and round trying to place blame and developing creative excuses regarding the fall of man. Bottom line we are born sinful and broken but we are also forgiven by the blood of Christ.

“Christ in me the hope of glory, you are everything..." is this a true statement of my life? Honestly, my heart’s desire is for God to be my everything some days are easier than others.
