The death is spiritual death.. We who WERE DEAD in trespasses and sin, he has made us alive in Christ Physical death is just a byproduct of the fall..

Adam was born perfect. He had no sin. so why did he suffer a penalty of death?

But Adam was perfect before he sinned, Hence he kept the law. He was not "dead" because of sin. the penalty of sin is death, the gift of God is life.. Adam suffered the penalty of sin the moment he died did he not?

did you not just answer your question though? why did he have to be born again?

yes he did He said it was Gods work.. That means it is not our work

was adam spiritually dead before he sinned?

God said, for in the day you eat you shall surely die Adam, Like all mankind after. had to be born again, or made alive in christ. we also know from the way Adam acted. He thought he could hide from God He blamed the woman, even though he willfully sinned He was ashamed if his nakedness etc...

I saw that on Facebook. It is good to see people praying. especially in that situation. So much loss of life that evening

Lol Whatever my friend By grace THROUGH FAITH. faith is not the affect Faith is the means by which grace is applied..

Let use your own passage No, The Bible says: But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— It is by Grace we have been saved (made alive) and what does...

His offering is the cross. And the means of justification is the atonement paid for by the blood of redemption on the cross even demons believe yet tremble, many believe yet will be left wanting. What is your faith in? The work of the cross and the promise of God. Or religion, works, your...

I understand it my friend You do not You have God making a person dead in sin, alive in sin. then somehow magically trusting God I have myself as the tax collector. unable to even look up. calling out for Gods mercy. He did not save himself because he trusted God. He trusted God because God...

because you would still be dead in your sin.

no. you have it backwards. My capacity to be saved is on the means of grace. It is not achieved until I actually trust what God is offering me in faith. THEN I am justified. washed by the blood of the lamb, And born again, this new life being eternal.. Paul is clear. Sadly, You have people who...

who said faith preceded grace? We are saved by GRACE THROUGH FAITH. Faith is offered to all.. Not everyone will receive it however. Thats why t is THROUGH faith

If Christ did nto die. then we would not have the ability to have faith in his offering. and woud have no means of justification No one said he did that I know of.. did I miss something?? If I did. I am sorry Whoever believes in him will not perish. but life forever. He who believes is not...

Your right. We are saved by grace alone. But we are saved THROUGH faith. God is not just going to force you to believe. Once again, No one ever saved THEMSELF because they humbled themselves and trusted the one who came to save them,

no one saved themselves because they humbled themselves and stood still and allowed someone else to save them (had personal faith in the rescuer) We are justified by faith period No by works. Faith is not a work. thats what the bible says

I might change the op a little.. The purchase of salvation or cost. was the cross. that was the price of redemption. Justification, however, is not just automatically applied just because the price was redeemed. We are justified THROUGH faith. Christ redeemed the world. But he will not force...

if you knew the word and actually studied using the nlt. you would not ask such a question.. you would know..
