Adam turned his legal dominion over to Satan, God's enemy. .................................. ................................................................................This sin is unpardonable!...................... ................................................................................Adam's sin was done in the light of absolute knowledge. He wasn't deceived by Satan. Eve was deceived, but Adam became the Benedict Arnold of eternity.
What was man's original sin? .........................................................................................................................
It wasn't a broken law because the Law hadn't been given yet. ...........................................................................................................
Man was given such far-reaching authority, his intellect was such that he was a companion with God and he held the joys and sorrows of God. ..............................................................................................
This gives us an idea of the nature of his sin.
As we know the place and reason for the first creation, we will know what we mean to the Father God's heart......................................................................................................................................... A low concept of the creation of Adam has given us a low concept of the new creation in Christ.
1 Corinthians 15:45-49 tells us of two
creations: the creation of Adam and the
new creation in Christ.
In Adam, we see man scarred by spiritual
death, losing his fellowship with the
Father God and his authority over creation.
In Christ, we see spiritual death destroyed
and man made a new creature, free from
spiritual death as though Adam had never
sinned.

new creation in Christ.

In Christ, we see spiritual death destroyed

In the story of Creation, we didn't see that
man was the reason for the existence of the
universe. To us, he played a small part.
Our spirits being alienated from God, didn't
understand the Father God's longing for
children or His joy in creating a man in His
own image with dominion over creation.
Instead, we just saw a God who we had no
love for or closeness. We saw man as a
poor failure. We saw them as Satan wanted
us to see them.

"For unto the angels hath he not put in sub-
jection the world to come, whereof we speak.
But one in a certain place testified, saying,
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
or the son of man that thou visitest him?
Thou madest him a little lower than the
Elohim; thou crownedst him with glory
and honour, and didst set him over the
works of thy hands:
Thou hast put all things in subjection
under his feet. For in that he put all in
subjection under him, he left nothing
that is not put under him. But now we
see not yet all things put under him."

This is a revelation of Adam's dominion.
"When I consider thy heavens, the work of
thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which
thou hast ordained;
What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
For thou hast made him a little lower than
the angels, and hast crowned him with
glory and honour.
Thou madest him to have dominion over
the works of thy hands; thou hast put all
things under his feet:
All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts
of the field;
The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea,
and whatsoever passeth through the paths
of the seas.
O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy
name in all the earth!"
Psalm 8:3-9
This is a revelation of the creation of the
man as the Father God desired him to be
and to live.

Adam's body was perfect, and fit to be the
temple of God's ruler of the earth.
"And God blessed them, and God said unto
them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and
replenish the earth, and subdue it: and
have dominion over the fish of the sea,
and over the fowl of the air, and over
every living thing that moveth upon the
earth. Genesis 1:28
Reading this with a mind ruled by the
senses, we overlook the tremendous
place that man held in God's heart.

There can be no fellowship without love!
Man's obedience to Him is because of
love.
"At that day ye shall know that I am in my
Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
He that hath my commandments, and
keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and
he that loveth me shall be loved of my
Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him.
Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord,
how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself
unto us, and not unto the world?
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a
man love me, he will keep my words: and
my Father will love him, and we will come
unto him, and make our abode with him.
He that loveth me not keepeth not my
sayings: and the word which ye hear is
not mine, but the Father's which sent me."
John 14:20-24
Man's obedience to Him is because of
love.
"At that day ye shall know that I am in my
Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
He that hath my commandments, and
keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and
he that loveth me shall be loved of my
Father, and I will love him, and will
manifest myself to him.
