"For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:"
Roms. 8:3

"For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace."

Roms. 6:14

Hey Mom,
God's abundant grace and mercy to you . . . you're the best 'cause it's "CHRIST IN YOU" the hope of glory.

I had a thought at my Bible study last night that "just happened" to fit into a post done by another freeper last night ...we were all IN Adam when he sinned..it has been noted that the temptation in the garden was the one spoken of in 1Jo 2:16 For all that [is] in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

They looked at the food and it was food for their hunger(lust of the flesh ) ,It was beautiful to the eye ..attractive (lust of the eye) and it would make them gods (the pride of life)

Well last night we were studying the Temptation of Christ..and I realized that temptation was necessary..he had to be tempted in all ways as we are (Hebrews)...and His temptation like that of the 1st Adam was the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the Pride of life..but the second Adam did not fall.

We are in the first Adam UNTILL we are converted..we now are IN the second Adam..

1Jo 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Adam died...Christ the second Adam allows us to abide in Him and abide forever..
