Question:
Why did God give Adam and Eve only one chance, but gives us chance after chance?

Answer:

Were Adam and Eve born in sin? – No, they were innocent when God made them. After they sinned we are told that: “The LORD God said, ‘Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil’” (Genesis 3:22).

Were you born in sin? Yes, you and all the descendants of Adam and Even have been born in sin. David, led by the Spirit of God wrote: “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me” (Psalm 51:5).

The governmental hand of God moved when Adam and Eve sinned. In disobeying God, they died spiritually and would someday die physically. Just as the Lord said would happen when He gave them one commandment: “And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: 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”(Genesis 2:16, 17).

Even then, the Lord covered their nakedness with the skins of animals (Genesis 3:21), which is a type of the Lord Jesus dying to take away our sins. After they sinned, the Lord’s mercy was extended to Adam and Eve, even as it is to us today.

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels” (Isaiah 61:10).

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him” (2 Corinthians 5:20, 21).
