I have been a christian for about few strong years now and i praise God daily for my salvation in Christ. I use to be a thug but now I'm a believer, and i can find no other joy than living for the glory of God. I aim to glorify Him everyday that i wake, i know that i fall short of that agenda daily, but by His grace alone do i still wake up and go to sleep at night. Soli Deo Gloria

Dead in adam, alive in Christ.

1 Corinthians 15:21 and 22 "For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive."

In adam all died, all men and women are born dead in sin, and have no way to merit there own salvation. The truth is, if anyone of us were put in the situation that adam was in, we all would remove ourselves from Gods authority and follow our desire. By man came death. By adam sinning and eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, all man experienced death and now is dead. There is nothing that we can do, nothing at all, this is our state when we enter the world, dead. Spiritually blind, def, mute, dead! have you ever thought of yourself being dead? like if someone were to speak to you, or nudge you, that you would not feel any of that, so then how are we to be made alive? By works, how can a dead man work? if we are dead then we can not even move, how much more can we actually work? No, not by work, but by God. God is the one who,from eternity past, chose those who would be apart of His bride and be found in the Lambs book of life. God had to send down Christ, and Christ had to die so that the wrath of God may be satisfied, and the Father had to raise the Son from the dead so that all would know that He was a perfect sacrifice, and Christ had to return to the Father so that the Holy Spirit may come down and indwell believers so that we may bear fruit pleasing to God. By Man also came the ressurection of the dead! Man had beef with God, and only man can atone for mans sin, but man isnt perfect, and God only accepts a perfect sacrifice. So, Jesus Christ, the Perfect Son of God, Had to become man, to atone for mans sin. That is the only way that "by Man also came the ressurection of the dead" be in this text. If God wrapped Himself in human flesh, live a perfect and sinless life, offer Himself as a Lamb without spot or blemish to God, and satisfy His just and righteous wrath. for in adam all died,even so in Christ all shall be made alive. Ok, as the bible said, all man is found in adam, we are all adams offspring, but only a few are Christ offspring. When Jesus spoke to nicodemus, He spoke of being born from above, or born again. We MUST be born again, because our fisrt birth, which we are found in adam brings death, But for Christian the second birth or being born again, means that we are birthed in Spirit and truth, by faith we are found in Christ and now alive.
