A Salvation Message

We’ve journeyed 24 chapters into Genesis, and it’s impossible to ignore that the text is set up to be a redemption story for both Adam and Eve. For ALL of us.

There are two stories of salvation:

Adam:
I’ve done things I shouldn’t have done and brought harm to myself and others, and it has corrupted me. Please save me!

Eve:
I’m suffering due to the consequences of this broken world, and I’ve been abused and harmed by others. Please save me!

This isn’t a statement about “men” and “women,” but a statement about the full breadth of what salvation covers. Some of us are “Adam” in this story, whether we are male or female. We’ve caused harm, intentionally or accidentally, and for that, we must repent.

But some of us are “Eve” in this story, where the curse of someone else’s disobedience has harmed us, and we’re left to suffer for sins we didn’t commit. We carry wounds that we didn’t cause.

God can redeem all of this. God will.
