The Sons of Adam
If you are in Christ, you are no longer of the first Adam – you are of the second Adam. You are not bound by your DNA. You have been transferred from the lineage of Cain to the lineage of Seth.

Christian, when you sin, don’t run away from the Lord God – repent and turn toward Him. Our God is so good. Everything he says and does is about abundance, not scarcity. He wants us to thrive and even the things that he withholds from us are for our own good and for our flourishing.
Whenever we try to make ourselves the ultimate arbitrator of what is good and what is evil, we are in fact trying to usurp the role of the Lord God.
God designed an ordered world that can be joyfully inhabited under his rule. When creation lives under His rule, all things find their place and flourish.
Much of the struggle we face in our lives is because we live in the in-between, where we are waiting for God to fulfill his promises. These in-between moments require a simple trust in God’s character and a life lived by faith, not by sight.
Divine justice helps us make sense of the world. When we understand God’s justice and wrath, we see how it is His love burning hot. Only when we grasp God’s wrath against evil can we truly see the gospel as precious.
If you find yourself in a season of waiting, remember that trusting God means to trust God’s timing, because no one knows what’s best for your life more than God.
In moments of existential dread, when you are unable to close the gap, turn to Jesus who is the only one who can reconcile you to the Father.
Through seasons of lament, embrace the Lord God by faith and empty yourself of your ego and plans. Remind your very soul that your life is not primarily about you. There is something bigger going on that is happening under the tender watch of your faithful God.
