Everyone knows the story of the fall. A creepy snake tempts Eve into eating some fruit from some tree in some garden that God had made, and just like that, sin, death, and destruction become part of the world we know and live in today. But is that really all there is to the story, or does the sin that caused the fall go deeper than Eve’s actions?
The reality is that it wasn’t just Eve; Adam took an active part in the sin that caused the fall. It also wasn’t just about a single action, like a child taking a cookie that spoils their dinner. At its core, The Fall was about rebellion and idolatry. The desire of man to vaunt himself into the position of God. The sin of Adam and Eve and the sin of Satan were the same sin. The Scripture is clear about it; they desired to be LIKE GOD, the creature coveting equality with the Creator.
The Scriptures would later point out that the attitude of Jesus was completely different. Jesus, God Himself, would remain humble in His heart attitude. Paul described it this way, “...Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped…” (Philippians 2). Being God Himself, Jesus had every right to claim equality with God. However, so that He could fulfill the role of the sin sacrifice as a perfect HUMAN, He humbled Himself in His humanity and became obedient to the Father.
That is why Adam brought the world to ruin, and Jesus Christ accomplished redemption.
