What happened to the human race when Adam fell?
When Adam fell, God lost the human race. As a result, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Immediately God put in motion the process of redemption to buy humanity back, and the price was His own blood.
Les explains that redemption means losing control of a piece of property, and the only way to regain that control is to buy it back. God lost the human race when Adam fell, and immediately He had to put in motion the whole process of redemption, buying us back with a price—His own blood. This connects with Romans 3:23, that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, and Romans 3:25, which speaks of propitiation through faith in His blood.
