How Eve (and Adam, and we) became sinners (Part 1)
Faith comes from hearing, and hearing from the word of God.
~The Apostle Paul
Abraham believed God, and God considered his faith righteousness.
~Moses, the man of God
The woman listened to Satan. The man listened to the woman. Neither listened to God. This is sin: when we listen to creation instead of the Creator.
In other words, Eve became a sinner by faith. And Abraham became sinless by faith. Who they (and we) listen to do determines sin or life without sin.
So how can we become and remain sinless?
Better yet, how can we be as sinless as Christ?
I ask this because I noticed that Jesus not only "never sinned," but he even said Satan "had no hold on him." Meaning Satan could not get Jesus to sin because nothing in Jesus agreed with anything in Satan. How can we be like this?
Think about it (if you want to, or if you're even interested in this kind of life...) until the next blog...
