Some call it "being born-again backwards". One thing is for sure, Adam and Eve died spiritually long before their physical death hundreds of years later. When was the last time you heard a sermon that you understood about our position in Adam versus our position in Christ?
And He made every nation of men of one blood [Adam], to live on all the face of the earth, ordaining fore-appointed seasons and boundaries of their dwelling, to seek the Lord, if perhaps they might feel after Him and might find Him, though indeed He not being far from each one of us. For in Him we live and move and exist, as also some of the poets among you have said, For we are also His offspring. Then being offspring of God, we ought not to suppose that the Godhead is like gold or silver or stone, engraved by art and the imagination of man. (Acts 17:26-29 LITV)
(Excerpted From Our eBook My Life In Adam)
When was the last time you contemplated that you were placed in as a son or daughter IN ADAM? Though it may sound like gobbily-gook to you it is of supreme importance that you consider the issue. That' the one memo that the satan doesn't want you to receive.
The thief (the satan, the accuser, the liar, the murderer, the destroyer, the enemy of you mind, will and emotions) does not come except that he may steal, and kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life and may have it abundantly. (John 10:10 LITV)
That is the satan's first and primary objective in his jihad against the people of God; to steal, is to invade, seize, and carry away another's property if possible. He is filth, apathological liar and near his end. He is a coniver who deceives Christians into not "feeling" saved and thereby doubting the unchanging Hand of God in the Glove of your life.
To be won, every war must have a well-thought-through strategy that is held close to the vest. To fail to do so places you at great peril and greatly limits your Biblical wordview of the Creation, the subsequent fall of man and the steps that God has already taken for your reconcilation to Him.
Are you knowledgable enough to teach this process of being reconciled to God with another person? Or are you just another Dead Sea Christian? You take it all in but you never give any of it out. Click on the following diagram and study it.

What a marvelous transaction takes place when one receives the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, Lord and Life. That one is no longer IN ADAM. The great exchange has taken place when we are taken our of old Grandpa Adam and translated into the Kingdom of God’s dear Son. Out of Adam into Christ. There is no provision for being taken out of Christ and placed back into Adam.
For He has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son; in whom we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins. who is the image of the invisible God, the First-born of all creation. For all things were created in Him, the things in the Heavens, and the things on the Earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, all things were created through Him and for Him.
And He is before all things, and by Him all things consist. And He is the Head of the body, the church, who is the Beginning, the First-born from the dead, that He may be pre-eminent in all things. For it pleased the Father that in Him all fullness should dwell. (Colossians 1:13-19 MKJV)

For in Christ dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (in His physical body). And you are complete in Him, who is the Head of all principality and power (Colossians 2:9-10 MKJV)
By faith Enoch was translated so as not to see death, and he was not found, because God had translated him; for before his translation he had this testimony, that he walked God.
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. (Hebrews 11:5-6 MKJV)
What does it mean to have Christ in us and what would that look like in everyday life? Since Believers are no longer IN ADAM, it is important to understand how all that took place and what it means to us now. The satan doesn't want you to get that memo.
STOP GOING TO CHURCH …Start BEING the Church!
Never, never was being chased out of Paradise an essential part of God’s original intention for them. How do the perfectly created ‘Ken and Barbie’ creatures deal with memories of breath-taking sexual intimacy and unrepeatable pleasure that they sacrificed for the unintended consequence of unbearable pain in child birth and that 'sweat-of-the-brow' stuff?
How does the manager of God’s Glorious Garden with an exceptional ability to name each and every creature, find meaning in life from here on? Now the God-ordained female orgasm is among the most fickle of human behaviors.

You don't know if she's had one and she wonders why it is taking so long. Even this most intimate act of marriage now produces covert rejection and false guilt when it was originally designed by God to bring great pleasure and the power of oneness. You will never achieve it so give it up, man. Life is not at the end of your p*nis. It iis IN CHRIST!!
These are only a few of the tragedies of that Hellish day in the Garden of our God. Take the inner guilt and turmoil…when would it ever end? Would the promise of a Savior happen during their lifetimes? Would He come and restore them to their original condition or would they have to continually bear their own sin with pangs of conscience that never seemed to subside?

When would they be rescued from this wasteland of this howling madness? Darkness was now their constant companion. What had happened? Where had their sin led them? What does it all mean? When would the nightmare end?
Consider, if you will-
There in the Garden they lost God’s own life,
Their spirits were deadened both Adam and wife.
God sent them awandering as He told of His Plan,
That one day through Jesus, He’d regenerate man.
Cross of God’s Love
Cross of God’s Power
Wholly to Thee would I cling from this hour
Dead unto sin yet alive unto God
The Gift of Gad’s Grace is all mine at the Cross.
What you have to understand and remember is this. You cannot have part of you still in Adam and part of you in Christ. It's either one or the other, but never both. Are you IN CHRIST or still lost IN ADAM? Choose today who you will serve.
