Adam’s sin passed on

•Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

•1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam•all die, even so in Christ shall all be •made alive.

The first murder

•Genesis 4:10 The LORDsaid, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground.

Paul’s evaluation of our actions

Romans 1:29-31 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

Jesus’ warnings of judgment

• John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them.

John tells of the final state of sinners
