Did you know, that Adam lost his son, just like God? Adam experienced the same thing as God.
Adam, the son of God
The son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God (Luke 3:38)
Adam was God’s son. He was made in the image of God. God was his Father; his Creator; He had conceived Adam by the power of the Holy Spirit.
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (Gen 1:26-27)
Adam had all the characteristics of God (Jesus, and the Holy Spirit), because His Spirit was in him. God’s Spirit had brought him to live.
Now, that man was created, into the image of God, he was able to fulfil the commission of God: to rule over the earth. God had entrusted the earth to man and had given him His commandments, now it was up to man, what he would do with it. Because God had given man a free will.
God lost His son Adam
The Father son relationship didn’t last long, because after a short period of time, Adam became disobedient to his Father. At that moment, that Adam didn’t keep His commandments, and became disobedient to his Father, he sinned and his spirit died. Only his soul and body were left over. At that moment God lost His son.
The life, that was present in him, was replaced by death. From that moment on, death reigned in man. Every person that would be born from the seed of Adam, would carry the death. And this is still the case. Every person that is born, is born in sin and carries the death.
Because of the fact that the spirit in man died, the flesh; soul and body became king and reigned in their life.
Through Adam’s deed, the spirit in man died, and man became under the authority of the devil; under authority of sin and death. Adam had exchanged his Father (God), for another father: the devil.
Through his disobedience to God, God lost His son, and Adam lost his Father.
But what happened to God (the lost of His son), also happened in the life of Adam. Not only did the same thing happen to Adam, and did he experience, what God felt when He lost Adam, His son. But Adam also experienced, what God would have to go through again, because of his deed of disobedience; his sin.
Adam lost his son Abel and experienced the same thing as God
Adam experienced the same thing, as God had experienced; losing your son to death. Adam lost his son Abel. He was murdered by his brother, just like Adam (spirit) was murdered by the serpent.
The devil had received authority over man, by seducing and tempting them. Because of the fact that Adam believed the serpent above God, he became disobedient and sinned. By sinning the spirit in him died.
The devil had also authority in the live of Cain, that became visible when Cain became disobedient to God, by sacrificing fruit. Cain didn’t know the will of God. Cain’s offering was not accepted by God, but the Abel’s offering was accepted by God, because Abel knew God’s will and knew what pleased Him. Abel sacrificed according to God’s will. Cain became filled with anger, which resulted in killing his brother.
What God endured in the Spirit, by Adam’s disobedience, Adam experienced in the flesh, through the disobedience of Cain.
God showed Adam His plan of redemption
But not only did Adam experience exactly the same, as what God had experienced, when Adam became disobedient to His words, but God also showed Adam His redemption plan for mankind.
Abel was obedient to God, and pleased God, and because of his obedient to God Abel was killed. Jalousie and anger ruled in Cain and led to murder. Abel walked in contrary to his brother, in righteousness and did good. Abel didn’t do anything wrong, but despite that Abel didn’t do anything wrong, Cain became angry with him, and killed Abel.
Jesus also walked in obedience to God, and pleased God, in contrary to Adam, who became disobedient to God.
Jesus walked in holiness and righteousness and did good, but despite His holy and righteous walk, Jesus was also killed by man.
Adam lost his righteous son, because of his deed of disobedience to God.
The devil killed Abel, and used Cain as his weapon, just like the devil killed Jesus, and used the people of Israel as his weapon.
Because of one deed of disobedient of His first son Adam, God had to give His other Son, Jesus Christ, to reunite man back to Him.
God had to give His Son, so that God could have a relationship with man again, just like God intended, from the beginning of creation. God had to give His other Son Jesus Christ, to conquer sin and death and to take the authority back from the devil and give it back to mankind.
Jesus came in the flesh, but was born out of the Holy Seed instead of the seed of man, and therefore evil (sin and death) was not present in the Seed. Jesus lived in the flesh, but He walked after the Spirit (just like Adam did in the beginning, before he sinned against God). Jesus was obedient to His Father. He pleased Him, by doing His will, and by keeping His commandments.
Jesus the Son of God was obedient to His Father
Jesus was obedient to God, but He had to die, because of the disobedience of Adam. At the cross, He carried all the sins and iniquities of man. By His blood He restored the relationship between man and God and reconciled man back to God. Jesus took the authority back from the devil, and conquered death.
Jesus took the keys of authority legally back from the devil. So that every man, who would believe in Him and would be seated in Him, would have dominion over the devil, death, the earth and all hosts.
The relationship between God and men was restored. Through the proces of regeneration the spirit in man was made alive again.
A new creation was created, born of the seed of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus restored the disobedience of Adam through His obedience. Through His obedience, the new creation was created; the new man, born of the seed of the Holy Spirit.
Adam lost his son because of his deed, just like God. But God not only lost His son Adam to death, but He also had to loose, temporarily, His second Son to death.
This all happened because of one deed of disobedience…
‘Be the salt of the earth’
