jJESUS SAVES - FROM WHAT? - We die because we came from Adam

"Through one man sin entered into the worold and death brought sin, and so death spread to all men because they had all sinned." - ROMANS 5:12.

Adam's disobedience -or -sin had far -reaching consequences.  By sinning, Adan lost for himself, not just an ordinary life of 70 or 80 yeares, but life with the prospect of living forever.  Moreover, when Adam sinned, he lost perfection and could only pass on imperfection to all his progeny.

We are all descendants of Adam, from him, through no choice of our own, we have inherited an imperfect body that is prone to sin and eventual death.  Paul well described our plight.  He wrote: "I am fleshly, sold under sin. Miserable man that I am!  Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death?"  Paul then answers his own question: "Thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord!" - ROMANS 7:14, 24, 25.
