Life or Death

Jesus is the final sacrifice, for His is an eternal sacrifice. Once the blood of Jesus was applied to the sin of the world, it was atoned for permanently, but not automatically. Essentially, the entire world was given a bank account. Every person has an account in their name. In that account was placed everything that Jesus purchased for them.

When Adam ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he broke relationship with God. This is the sin that affects our relationship with God. As long as man is under the breach of relationship with God, he will sin. That is the nature of a man separated from God.
