5:12這就如罪是從一人入了世界,死又是從罪來的;於是死就臨到眾人,因為眾人都犯了罪。
羅 5:19 因一人的悖逆,眾人成為罪人;照樣,因一人的順從,眾人也成為義了。
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because wall sinned—
19 For as by the one mans disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one mans obedience the many will be made righteous.
亞當責無旁貸,神沒有叫他犯罪,沒有強迫他犯罪,沒有外加什麼力量叫他犯罪,甚至在亞當的墮落犯罪中,神的旨意也成全在其中。
Adam has an unshirkable responsibility. God did not call him to sin, did not force him to sin, and did not add any power to call him to sin. Even in Adams fall and sin, Gods will was fulfilled.
當我們講到亞當的罪成了我們的罪的時候,很多人會生氣,會說不公平,但是當我們說我們的罪孽歸給基督的時候加在基督身上的時候,沒人會生氣,沒人會說不公平,你看到我們是多麼自我中心。
When we talk about Adam’s sin becoming our sin, many people will be angry and will say unfair, but when we say that our sin is attributed to Christ, no one will be angry and no people will say unfair. You see how self-centered we are.
我們知道是亞當的確犯罪了,這是完全亞當自己的責任,同時是個很可悲的事情。但是,在其中神的旨意也成全了,這開了神的啟示,就是在基督裡向人類的啟示,在各各他十字架神將自己最大的彰顯顯示出來。
We know that Adam did sin. This is Adams own responsibility and a very sad thing at the same time. However, Gods will is fulfilled in it, which opens up Gods revelation, which is the revelation to mankind in Christ, and God reveals himself to the greatest extent at the cross in Calvary.
如果沒有墮落的話,就不會有各各他山,沒有各各他,我們就不會像今天這樣認識神的愛如此深刻,所以在人的墮落中可以看到:神的審判與恩慈兩件事情同時進行。
If there was no fall, there would be no Golgotha. Without Golgotha, we would not know God’s great love as we do today. We can see in the fall of man: God’s judgment and mercy go on at the same time.
