Poetry

---

Sin came into this world,
Through only one person;
And then death was unfurled,
From sin produced by one.

Death spread like a disease,
For everyone sinned;
Because God was not pleased,
No one was disciplined.

Sin was here on the earth,
Prior to any laws;
All were sinful at birth,
From their existing flaws.

Yet death ruled from the time,
Of Adam till Moses;
Disobedient crime,
Was all they could focus.

No record was then kept,
Because there was no rules;
No one watched where they stepped,
So they acted like fools.

Even those who had not sinned,
Were treated the same way;
As one undisciplined,
That dares to disobey.

Adam is an image,
Of the one to arrive;
To repair the damage,
And the dead to revive.

Not a thing to compare,
Between Adam and Christ;
For no traits do they share,
Since Christ was sacrificed.

If humanity died,
Because of a failure;
Hope is lost and God lied,
Not giving a Savior.

But the kindness of God,
Had given us a way;
To purify where flawed,
If we trust and obey.
