Redemption From The Fall

Though serpent deceived, yet Eve believed

and crunched that fateful bite.

Then Adam partook and good forsook

when he sinned against the light.

Well, Eden was lost--a frightful cost

for knowledge of corruption.

And clothes of skin could not begin

to cover sin's eruptions.

The flesh of all men was enslaved by sin,

though choice was made by one.

Through father's fall sin came to all,

so none was good, not one.

But, God's not one to be outdone.

For this He was prepared.

He had a great plan to rescue man

from sin and Satan's snare.

To mend the rift He gave a free gift

to Adam's children--all!

So, just Believe and You'll Receive

Redemption from the Fall!

But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were still sinners,
Christ died for us...
when we were enemies we were reconciled to God
through the death of His Son... Therefore, just as

through one man sin entered the world,
and death through sin, and thus

death spread to all men, because all sinned...
even so through one Man's righteous act
the free gift came to all men, resulting in
 justification of life

For as by one man's disobedience
many were made sinners,
so also by one Man's obedience
many will be made righteous...
where sin abounded, grace abounded much more...
to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
