WHERE DID SIN COME FROM?
By John Baker
Scripture Reading: Isaiah
14:12-17
Sin originated with
Satan. In I John 3:8 we read, "He that committeth sin is of the
devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning." The Lord
Jesus Christ said, "I beheld Satan as lightning fall from
heaven" (Luke 10:18). This fall is described in Isaiah
14:12-17. Of particular interest is Satan's five "I wills"
as recorded in verses 13 and 14. This provides a key to all sin -
self will, not God's will.
Therefore, sin entered
the world by Satan. Sin entered man through Adam. "Wherefore,
as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so
death passed upon men, for that all have sinned" (Roman 5:12).
Adam was created as an innocent being in the image of God and was a
free moral agent. God gave Adam and Eve the Garden of Eden with all
its splendor and beauty to enjoy. The only limitation was that given
in Genesis 2:17 "But of the tree of the, knowledge of good and
evil, thou shalt not eat of it for in the day that thou eatest
thereof thou shalt surely die." This is where God drew the line
between Creator and the created; between good and evil; between God
and man. As a result you and I are born sinners. This is our
inheritance from Adam. "For all have sinned and come short of
the glory of God" (Romans 3:23).
