Adam and Eve disobeyed God and ate from the Tree of
Knowledge of Good and Evil and the law of death has been with them
and their descendants ever since. Humanity falls under this law at
the moment of conception but the good news is that you can choose to
make Jesus your Savior and change your destiny from one of torment
in the Lake of Fire to eternal life in Heaven. We are free from the
curse of the law because of the work Jesus did on the cross.
Unfortunately, many Christians confuse the law of death with the
laws given to Moses. When Paul said we are no longer under the law,
it means we are no longer under the law of death. Conversely, when
Paul spoke of establishing the law, he was speaking about the laws
of Moses. With the exception of the sacrificial law fulfilled on the
cross, Jesus confirmed the remaining laws of Moses as still valid.
We are liberated from the death sentenced imposed by Adam's sin
because Jesus has freed us from its curse by becoming a curse on the
cross in our place. God loves humanity and is not willing that any
man should perish but that all should come to repentance and
everlasting life. |
