The 'Original Sin' gets much attention. Understandably so, as it was when life changed forever for Adam, Eve, and all of mankind. In today's episode, we take a deeper look at the ramifications of that sin – not the "punishment" (our words) that God sent forth, but the effect on Adam in his relationship with the Lord. It's no different for us in our relationship with God right now – eliminating shame allows us to walk with Him as He intended, and perhaps more importantly, to become conformed to the image of Christ.
