Introduction：Have you ever attended the funeral of someone you love?Can you think of anything more sad than having to face the death of a loved one?Perhaps you have asked, Why do people have to die?Adam and Eve, the first two people God created, must have been heartbroken to hear the news that their son Abel had died. He had been killed by his brother Cain. Surely what grieved Adam and Eve the most was seeing their sin continue on through their son Cain. Romans 5：12 says, by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned： 引子：你曾经出席你所爱人的葬礼吗?你能想到比面对亲爱的的人死亡更悲伤的事吗?或许你要问, 人为什么要死?神所创造的头两个人, 亚当和夏娃, 听见他们的儿子亚伯被他的兄弟该隐杀了时, 一定心都碎了。最让亚当和夏娃悲痛的是看见他们自己的罪延续到他们儿子的该隐身上。罗马书5：12, 这就如罪是从一人入了世界, 死又是从罪来的;于是死就临到众人, 因为众人都犯了罪。 Gospel：Adam and Eve remembered the happy perfect world before they had disobeyed God. There was no sin, therefore there was no decay, disease, or death. But when Adam and Eve sinned against God, they spoiled Gods perfect world for themselves, and for everyone who would come after them. That includes you and me today. You too have broken Gods laws. Saying ugly things when you are angry, not obeying your parents, even thinking mean things are all ways you and I have sinned and broken Gods laws. God says that the wages, or payment, of sin is death. We must all die in our bodies, but those who continue in their sin will suffer eternal death and separation from God. |
