??AdamandEve, thefirsttwopeopleGodcreated, musthavebeenheartbrokentohearthenewsthattheirsonAbelhaddied. HehadbeenkilledbyhisbrotherCain. SurelywhatgrievedAdamandEvethemostwasseeingtheirsincontinueonthroughtheirsonCain. Romans 5：12 says, “…byonemansinenteredintotheworld, anddeathbysin; andsodeathpasseduponallmen, forthatallhavesinned：”
??Gospel：AdamandEverememberedthehappyperfectworldbeforetheyhaddisobeyedGod. Therewasnosin, thereforetherewasnodecay, disease, ordeath. ButwhenAdamandEvesinnedagainstGod, theyspoiledGod’sperfectworldforthemselves, andforeveryonewhowouldcomeafterthem. Thatincludesyouandmetoday. YoutoohavebrokenGod’slaws.

??TheGoodNewsisthatourlovingCreatorhasprovidedawaytobeforgivenofyoursin, andtoescapethateternaldeath! TheLordJesusChrist, God’sperfectSon, willinglycamedowntoearthandgaveHislifetotakeourpunishmentforsin. WhentheJewishreligiousleadersandRomansoldiersputtheLordJesustodeath, JesusneverusedthepowerHehadtofightagainstthem. Whynot？Jesushadalreadyplannedtodie. HegaveHispreciousbloodandlifesoyouandIcouldhaveforgivenessofsin. TheLordJesus “humbledhimself, andbecameobedientuntodeath, eventhedeathofthecross.” (Philippians 2：8) Romans 5：17 says, “Forasbyoneman’s (Adam) disobediencemanyweremadesinners, sobytheobedienceofone (Jesus) shallmanybemaderighteous.” NowtheLordJesusisrisenfromthedeadandinHeaven. WhenyoubelieveinJesusandaskHimtoforgiveyoursins, Jesuswillnotonlyforgiveyoursins, butHewillmakeyourighteousinthesightofGodandgiveyouHiseternallife! Eventhoughsincontinuesthroughyouandme, andeveryperson, isn’titwonderfulnewsthatyouandIcanbeforgiven!
