Have you ever thought about God's grace shown in Adam's long life? In your studies, you may run across a discussion of why Adam died. The conclusion is that Adam and Eve had sinned, so surely he had to die, as forewarned in Genesis 2:17. There is so much focus on the apple, Eve, or the sins of Cain that the long life of Adam, that his 'obituary' showing up without fanfare in a single verse almost doesn't catch the eye—Genesis 5:5. It says, And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died. (KJV) |
