The Eternal Purpose of Creation !

Why Adam must sin !

Adam must sin for the simple fact that this World was Created for a Redemptive Purpose in Christ Jesus, Its called the Eternal Purpose in Christ Jesus Eph 3:11

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

In this, everything was made or created for Christ Jesus Per Col 1:16

16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Adam was Created for Him, Jesus Christ was the First and Primary cause why Adam was Created.

Again not only was all things made by but for Him, the Earth was Established and founded in Wisdom Prov 3:19

The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

Christ is the Power and Wisdom of God 1 Cor 1:24

24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

When Adam was formed and placed in the Earth, it was Very Good, for he was made according to the Infinite Wisdom of God and in the best possible state in execution for the accomplishment of the Work of Redemption Christ was set up unto from Eternity, Christ had an Eye to that in these Words leading to the Cross Jn 17:4

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

The Earth here is that same one of Prov 3:19

19 The Lord by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.

That Work that the Father gave Him to do was that of Redemption, for Redemption and Wisdom go together 1 Cor 1:30

30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

When God finished Creation Gen 1-2, hence all things had been made in the best possible state that Divine Wisdom could contrive, to expedite the Cross Work of the Lord Jesus Christ;

And so all men in Adam from the very beginning were made for Jesus Christ and a Redemptive Purpose that would magnify the Grace and Wisdom of God Eph 2:7

7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.

Eph 3:8-11

8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;

9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:

You see that in Eph 3:8 ? In Adam's Creation God had an Eye to the Preaching of the Gospel to the Gentiles of the Unsearchable Riches of Christ !

Why Adam must sin ! 2

Adam must sin according to being made for the Lord Jesus Christ and His Eternal Purpose of Redemption, for all things, including Adam and those in him were made by and for the Lord Jesus Christ Col 1:16 !

Also according to the Divine Purpose Adam must be given a Law in order for him to Transgress the Command of God, for if he would have obeyed the law or command, then that would have been counter to God's Purpose in Christ, whereas Christ had already been constituted the Lamb slain from the foundation Rev 13:8

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Also 1 Pet 1:18-20

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:

20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Yes, the Redeeming blood of Christ was foreordained before the foundation, hence before Adam was Created, who can deny that ?

If Adam would have rendered perfect obedience and gained Eternal Life, that would have defeated the Eternal Purpose of creating all things for Jesus Christ.

Scripture does declare that Christ was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, before it began, and that all things were made by Him and for Him Col 1:16 as He was before all things Col 1:17, then all things were made by Him and for Him in that Capacity of being slain before the foundation !

Thats why Adam must sin, and transgress the Law of God, for in the Eternal Purpose of God, He had already been wounded for our transgressions Isa 53:5

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

The wounded for our transgressions is the same as the being the slain Lamb from the foundation ! 5

Did God really want Adam to obey ?

Did God really want Adam to obey that command found in Gen 2:17 ? Lets read Gen 2:16-17

16 And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:

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.

I don't believe it was God's Purpose nor design in giving adam that command, for him to render explicit obedience to it , for if He did, then Adam's inclination proved greater than God's Purpose, which would contradict a scripture such as Prov 19:21

21 There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord, that shall stand.

The word devises, the heb word is Machashabah and means:

thought, device thought
device, plan, purpose
invention ,schemes NASB

So if it was really God's Purpose and design for adam not to sin by eating of that tree, then adam's desire and the serpents evil scheme proved Greater than God's Purpose and overcame it !

Now such a thought cannot even begin to be entertained for one second to a heart that Truly knows the True God, and Fears Him with Holy Reverence !

Nor was it God's purpose and design in commanding Abraham to sacrifice Isaac his Son, to the point of death, even though Abraham may have perceived it that way, however God's Purpose was made manifest when at the very point Abraham was to deliver the fatal blow, An Angel halted him ! 6

If adam had not sinned, and he and his posterity in him could have gained the eternal inheritance by his obedience to the covenant of works he was under Hosea 6:7, then the Glory of Eternal Life and Inheritance had gone to Adam and Not Jesus Christ, it could read Rom 6:23b " The Gift of God is Eternal Life through Adam our father "
