RESURRECTION—ADAMIC SIN.
W
WEdoubt not that precisely what was lost in Adam will be restored in Christ, or, that whatever the injury that resulted from the agency of Adam was, it will be removed by Christ. Whatever was included in the word “die” will be counteracted by what was included in the words “made alive.” The penalty inflicted on account of the Adamic sin will all be removed from the whole race, in Christ, the second Adam, or the Lord from heaven. No man will be lost in the world to come on account of the Adamic sin. There is not an intimation in the Bible of any man being punished in the world to come on account oforiginal sin. Thepunishment in the world to come is threatened in view ofour own, or what schoolmen call “actualsin.” The penalty sentenced on account of Adam’s sin has fallen, as aconsequence, on the whole race. By Christ, in the resurrection, thisconsequencewill be removed, and pardon, through the blood of Christ, will releaseall who come to the Savior, fromtheir ownsins, or theiractualsins, and thus save them from punishment in the world to come.
