DO YOU KNOW...

• ...why the eating of a little fruit in the garden of Eden was a capital offense; if God threatened Adam with eternal torment if he disobeyed; what was done to the first human pair to cause their death?

• ...how it is understood that the sentence on Adam was fulfilled in the day of his disobedience, even though he lived 930 years; where man came from, and where he was told he would go because of his disobedience; if you, in similar circumstances, would have done differently than did Adam in his test?

• ...what is the present condition of those who have died in disobedience and unbelief; it death is a gateway to glory or a penalty for sin; why infants die, even though they have not sinned?

• ...if it is just, that God visit the iniquity of parents on their children; if God foresaw that his human creation would fail its test of loyalty to him; what is the source of a common belief that sacrifice of life is required for atonement for sin?

• ...what kind of beings are a little above mankind and the human nature; what the word "ransom" means as used in the Bible (Matt. 20:28, Mark 10:45, 1 Tim. 2:6); why Jesus needed to leave his spirit nature to be a corresponding price to Adam?

• ...what Bible teaching is the basis of a clear understanding of God's gracious plan of redemption for the condemned race of Adam; for what purpose Jesus "was made a little lower than the angels"; why it was so long after disobedience before Jesus came to earth to redeem us?

• ...what Jesus needed to undergo to be our redeemer; why Jesus should "taste death for every man" if the penalty for sin is eternal torture; if Jesus when here on earth was part man and part God, that is, both human and divine?

• ...what caused Jesus to be alive now if he really died; how the death of Jesus qualified him to be called "everlasting father"; how the "first man Adam's" disobedience affected his race?

• ...why Jesus is called "the last Adam"; what it is that will make Jesus "satisfied" regarding his sacrifice; what is indicated by the fact that Jesus, once in heaven, "sat down, henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool"?

• ...whether God or Jesus will judge mankind; how long the day of judgment will be; what must first occur before God's grace shall be realized by non-Christians and the world in general; when blessings made possible by Christ's death will reach all mankind?
