Lessons from Death

Welcome to the GOSPEL JOURNEY. This week we'll be working through the sentence: Sin cannot be paid for by good works. These posts are to help you engage with the central message of the Bible. Comment. Question. Agree. Disagree. Either way, let us know what you think.

Lessons from death.

Did you notice in the first week, man was formed without life? Adam laid on the ground, fully formed and completely helpless. Then God breathed life into his body and he became a living being. If God had not breathed life into Adam, he would still be laying on the ground motionless.

Take a look at Ephesians 2:1-10 and answer these questions:

1. What is our spiritual condition?
2. Why is that our condition?
3. What could I do for myself?
4. Who acted on my behalf?
5. Why did He do it?

God told Adam and Eve that death would come with sin. Because of sin, we all find ourselves spiritually dead. We are helpless and unable to do anything for ourselves. However, just like with Adam, God takes the initiative and offers to give life to us. We can not give life to ourselves, we need Jesus, the Author of Life, to give it to us.
