When Adam sinned, his first reaction was to run away from God. That is what sin does to people. Most people avoid the things of God not because they don't believe but because of sin. Even as Christians when we sometimes mess up it is tempting to skip spiritual routines.
The other thing Adam tried was to blame the woman....She gave it to me....
Not only that but Adam has also tried to blame God. Remember? he said to God “The woman YOU gave me made me do this”. Now that is too much.
Unfortunately, all these things did not work for Adam. You see, the problem with Adam is not only that he made a mistake of disobeying God but he also made it worse by not saying sorry. I am amazed at how much my two year old resists saying sorry. He just hates saying that one word. I only need to look at my son to be reminded that we are all descendants of Adam.
When you are genuinely sorry about what you have done, it shows and God loves it. Genuine “sorry” is the ticket to heaven. I don’t know how you plan to get to heaven but that is how I got there.
Praise the Lord!!!
