Hey guys, real quick, before we get started, I have a small request. If you've been blessed by our content and you like this show, would you take just a brief moment and leave us a five-star review?

This is quite possibly the most effective thing that you can do to ensure that this content gets out to as many people as possible. Thanks.

Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the

mouth of God. You're listening to Daily Truth. When Adam ate of the forbidden fruit,

he didn't have to. Adam did not have to sin against God. Adam, because of the way that God created him in

this state of innocence, Adam had at his disposal the power to please God. Adam freely

chose to rebel. And you and I, in Adam, chose to rebel with him. Verse 12. Therefore, just as sin came

into the world through one man and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because

all sinned. We all sinned. And we all sinned in Adam. This is the doctrine of federal headship. This is the

understanding of a covenant head, a covenant father. This is the understanding that someone else

represents you. And it is at this precise point that many in our culture today like to object.

I don't want to be represented by Adam.

That blockhead?

And my goodness, God was walking with him and Eve in the cool of every day.

They lived in paradise and he still couldn't get it right?

See, that sentiment, although it seemingly is logical, is rooted in immense arrogance.

Brothers and sisters, Adam was the best of us, not the worst.

God who is good and never does anything that is cruel did not set up for us, a federal head, a representative who was a failure.

Adam was the best of us. You and I would have done no better. And even more important than that,

if we object to the idea of the doctrine of federal

headship of having someone else represent us before God,

we lose the entirety of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
