ADAM

Snippet

“Have you ever considered what Adam and Eve were doing when they got into so much trouble? As I read the story, they were shopping. The forbidden fruit was not scattered throughout the garden, not in many places, not in multiple locations, but one place, one site, one location and one location only. Perhaps they just came upon it, “Oh, look, the forbidden fruit…” or, perhaps, they were looking for something, searching, shopping. Somewhere in their dissatisfaction they thought, “If only we had something more…” ― David W. Jones, Enough

Scripture

For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 1 Corinthians 15:21-23

Adam & Eve By Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson

My name is Adam, my name is Eve

I was the first man to live and breathe

God made the ocean, He made it blue

He told us "Don't eat forbidden fruit"

Oh, He can see us, hear what we say

But He was resting on that seventh day

She met a serpent that afternoon

He smiled at her and she broke the rule

Come on, we're leaving, no time to waste

The Garden of Eden's no longer safe

Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed

We're on the run with God on our tail

I can remember, I do recall

There were no weeds here, no thorns at all

I was misguided, I was mislead

I asked for good but got evil instead

Come on, we're leaving, no time to waste

The Garden of Eden's no longer safe

Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed

We're on the run with God on our tail

Throw down that apple, that ship has sailed

We're on the run with God on our tail

My name is Adam, my name is Eve

I was the first man to live and breathe
