Big Problems With The First Family

Let's talk about the big problems of the first family.

No, I'm not referring to the President and the First Lady, but to the original first family, Adam and Eve. They were also the first family to have big problems--I mean big problems. Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God, and their sin infected the whole human race.

They had two boys, Cain and Abel, and the problem of sin carried over to their children's lives. Cain became so jealous of Abel's blessings that he murdered him.

The first family had real problems--from Adam and Eve's simple disobedience, to seeing one of their children murder his brother. The family of man still struggles with the same problem of sin today. But God has a solution in the person of Jesus Christ, Who came to save us from our sin problem. When a person looks to Christ, in faith, for salvation from sin, it breaks the negative chain of sin that enslaves people and families.
