Adam's Sin --Christ's Justification


Skeptics sometimes ask, "Was it fair for God to condemn the whole world just because of one man's disobedience?"
It was not only fair, but it was wise and gracious. If God had tested each human being individually, the result would have been the same: disobedience. But even more important, by condeming the human race by one man (Adam), God was then able to save the human race through one Man (Jesus Christ).
Adam's sin brought judgement and condemnation: but Christ's work on the cross brings justification. When Adam sinned, he was declared unrighteous and condemned. When a sinner trusts Christ, he is justified -- declared righteous in Christ.
Romans 5:18  Therefore as by the offence of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one, the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
