When did sin and death first become tied together?
Sin and death first became tied together when Adam ate and sinned. The moment he sinned, death came, and the two have been linked ever since Adam took that first bite. The only remedy is the Gospel: Christ died, was buried, and rose from the dead.
Les explains that sin and death are an everyday experience for the whole world, and the two are so tied together. He points back to Adam: when Adam ate, he sinned, and the minute he sinned, death came. So sin and death have been tied together ever since Adam took that first bite. Les emphasizes there is only one remedy—the Gospel that Christ died, was buried, and rose from the dead. He also notes that the law of the Spirit in Christ Jesus sets believers apart from that other fact of life which is sin and death.
