       Surely, Satan can be a great compeller. He can compel you, me, or anyone to do things that we shouldn’t do. And what was the result of Adam sin? Well, it was death. Interestingly enough, though, God had warned Adam that in the day he ate of the forbidden fruit, that in the day he did that, he would surely die. Remember? So, it wasn’t that Adam got a consequence that God hadn’t already forewarned him against. Notice how fair God was. He tried to warn him. But what Satan had promised Eve to be life to her and her husband, did just the opposite. It gave them excitement in the moment as they were eating the fruit, in anticipation that they would get something great, as promised by Satan, but in the end what did they actually get? The excitement was over, and they were left with death. So, death enters the world through Adam’s sin. It is through Adam’s sin because man bears the seed of sin. Recall, I mentioned that’s why Jesus could be born of the human Mary from the Holy Spirit.
