Christ rose again and offers life to the world!
The Gospel is SIN-DEATH-FORGIVENESS-LIFE. When Adam and Eve tried to lay a claim to a righteousness apart from faith in God, they ate from the wrong tree thus resulting in the Spirit of life departing from within them. The absence of life is death. Satan said that they needed more and that is a righteousness that does not exist at all, that is a righteousness through the knowledge of good and evil or the law and not after Christ. Satan is the father of lies. As in Adam all die, so in Christ all shall be made alive. “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.
