The beginning of the end
Sorry folks its not quite over for our old man Adam, I thought that I had said enough and maybe have but to be sure we understand who were dealing with is really us, I felt it was important to , as I was forced to do finally , embrace my Adam hood. Therefor before we go on to the New Adam lets take a quick look at the final authority, which we can , I hope, all agree on the Bible, the inspired word of God. Regarding Adam we find Rom. 5:12"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world and death by sin[loss of eternal life with God]and so death passed upon ALL men.Ps 51:5" in sin did my mother conceive me" and "" in Adam , we were declared to be dead in trespasses and sins, because in Adam ALL die" Eph. 2:1 1 Cor. 15:22" for in Adam we all die ".Then you have " The natural man [Adams human race us] does not receive the things of the spirit for they are foolishness to him , neither can he know them" 1 Cor, 2:14. Don't want to belabor the point here friends bare with me . just a Little longer! Lets look at Romans 8:8 " so those who are in the flesh[natural man, Adam, humans, us] CANNOT please God. Lastly guess who among us counted himself among the Adam natured , why none other then perhaps the greatest of the apostles a man to whom who was reveled most all we now have of the Christian life. A man who was in the personal reveled presence of the Resurrected Jesus and also was taken to heaven itself and returned to write the very words inspired by the living God, so that we could by informed as to just who we are, both in Christ and Adam none other than Paul and he said referring to himself "I am carnal [flesh, Adam natured] sold under sin," Rom. 7:14.................Well if the above is all true what chance do we have? Well it turns out by a little investigation we will find our Chances as Christians are very good indeed! But first we must deal with a sticky question which I have been ranting about for two blogs now and the Biblicals true truth teaches us . We all live and carry out are lives , as long as we remain in these Adam body's in the very condition described above even as Christians. Jesus did not Die to improve our human nature . We have the same nature as Adam and all men including Hitler and Charles Manson Oh yes they were evil alright, we are not in the same way, but they , as us occupied the same Human Nature. This takes us to the point. Our Christians lives are not to be lived in the Old Nature and a way has been provided to live another way in a new Nature. We will not find it in our human works , church attendance , Bible studies , traditions, Church authority are feelings, etc. etc. for all these things while seen as good things are not going to help in finding our way to the Nature provided for us all , even if we don't know it, in Heaven, by none other than the New Adam , the second Man in whom is the only nature that we can find ourselves which will please God. In the next instalment we will look at discovering the life changing new adopted family we have all been brought into as Christians and we will learn , how to realize it despite our location in this body of Adam.
