Two Roads: A Matter of Life and Death

"You will surely die." God gave this promise with the original command not to eat the fruit in the Garden. When Adam and Eve rebelled against the Lord's command, they paved a path that has been trodden by everyone since. Their first son, Cain, was a murderer. The Lord warned him, though. "Sin is crouching at your door, and you must master it." Although our sinful bent will never be totally eradicated in this life, we are given the responsibility and, through Christ, the power to conquer it. May we kill it so that it does not kill us.
