How are you doing, Friend?
Adam was at first good, and very good. But he fell into sin and
experienced spiritual death. He broke like a jar of clay. Some believe
this to be an instance of apostasy. The following shows this cannot be
possible.
Adam did not have salvation before the fall, so he could not have
lost it. God brought Adam (and Eve) into this world differently than all
following humans. God created them directly but the rest of us were
brought into this world through physical birth. Adam was created without
sin but with the potential for sin. The rest of us are born into sin
without a choice in the matter. We don’t only have the potential to sin,
we are born spiritually dead, sinning from the beginning. Adam knew
what it was like to be without sin but he did not know what it is like
to be immune to sin because he always had the potential to sin.
