Saturday, October 5Sin is not charged against any- one when there is no law. —Rom. 5:13.Adam’s offspring had not vio- lated the divine law as Adam had, so they were not charged with the same sin; nor had any law code yet been given. (Gen. 2:17) Still, Adam’s descendants inherited sin. Thus, sin and death ruled down to the time when God gave the Israelites a law code, which clearly showed that they were sinners. (Rom. 5:14) The effect of inherited sin might be illustrated with certain inherited diseases or defects, such as Mediterranean anemia or hemophilia. You may have read that Alexis, son of Rus- sian Czar Nicholas II and Alexan- dra, inherited the bleeding dis- order hemophilia. Granted, even in such a family, some children do not suffer from those diseas- es, but they still may be carriers. Not so with sin. The defect of sin from Adam was inevitable. All are subject to it. It is always fatal. And it is passed on to all children.
