Great question! Adam: not sure. He started the whole mess by rebelling against God. Was he subsequently saved? Don't know. Abraham: he trusted God and it was credited to him as righteousness (Gen 15:6), but his sin still had to be dealt with by Jesus on the cross, same as us. The key word is "trust". Abraham was not perfect but he trusted that God would somehow account for his sin. Me & you: Jesus came so that God's justice could be satisfied. Sin results in spiritual death. Either it's our spiritual death, or it's Jesus's (once for all) death. We all have to choose, and no religious works (religion of Do) can satisfy God's justice. Only Jesus, because he was perfect and free of sin, can do that.
It it normal for Christians to be hated by their family?
