A miracle IN CHRIST

Romans 6:23 (NKJV)
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

The Apostle here tells us that what sin bought man was death. For in the Garden of Eden were two trees, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and tree of life. God had forbidden man to take of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but man did as he desired and took Adam and Eve took of the fruit. The cost for them was they could no longer partake of the tree of life; for to have taken from the tree of life after taking from the tree of knowledge of good and evil would have meant living an eternity in sin. So God removed Adam and Eve from the garden to protect them and placed an angel with a flaming sword near the tree so they could never return. The future consequence of their sin was death.  However in Christ Jesus we find eternal life in heaven when we place our faith and trust in Him.

 

 

He fell 47 stories, breaking his ribs and right arm, shattering both legs and injuring his spine. He needed 24 units of blood, had a catheter inserted into his brain and underwent at least 14 operations in the 28 days since his Dec. 7 [2007] plunge. He was in a coma for weeks after the horrifying 500-foot fall that killed his brother, but window washer Alcides Moreno is awake, talking and likely to walk again, his doctors said Thursday.  "If you're a believer in miracles, this would be one," said Dr. Philip Barie, chief of critical care at New York-Presbyterian Hospital Weill Cornell.

Adam and Eve fell from their grace in God to a place of sin, death and judgment. They had been walking as the image of God, sinless in their nature, but they fell into the deep trap of sin. Fortunately if you believe in Christ and have your faith and trust in Christ there is another miracle we can believe in. For The Bible tells us in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Romans 8:1 states, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 15:22 tells us, “For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.” What a miracle we can have in Christ!
