       We need peace with God because, as Paul states, “sin came into the world through one man.” Notice how he says that “sin entered the world.” He doesn’t say, “sin came into being through one man” but that “sin entered the world through one man.” Do we know, then, where sin came from? If it didn’t come from Adam or Eve, or if rather they weren’t the inventor of it, where did sin come from? We know where sin came from. It came into existence when Lucifer (aka Satan), God’s best angel in Heaven, rebelled against him, trying to take God’s glory as his own. That was the first sin in existence, outside of this world. We understand, though, in reading Genesis chapter 3, and I don’t want to turn there this morning, but we see that Satan, posing as a snake (for he is the great poser), deceived Eve who in turn deceived Adam. He tempted them to go against God, and do something outside of God’s will. Surely, Satan can be a great compeller.
