Scripture Reading: Gen. 3:11b; Rom. 5:12a, 19; 7:18a
Points to Emphasize
- Sin entered into man—Gen 3:11b; Rom. 5:12a
Through man’s fall, man let sin enter into him. Romans 5:12a says that through one man sin entered into the world. Actually, the world here means mankind. When sin entered into man, that really meant that Satan entered into man.
- As a result of Adam’s disobedience, the many, including us, were constituted sinners—Rom. 5:19; 7:18a
We may use the illustration of a mother warning her child not to take in something poisonous. This is the mother’s commandment. If the mother leaves home and the child takes in that poison, this is not merely a transgression [disobedience] against the mother’s commandment. It is a receiving of the poison into the child’s being. This is an illustration of what happened when man fell.
