Paradise Lost and Adam’s response to the Gospel

That all this rock-steady of evil shall produce, 470 And evil turn to good more(prenominal) wonderful Then that which by creation first brought onward Light out of darkness full of doubt I stand, Whether I should repent me promptly of sin By mee done and occasiond, or reJoyce 475 much more, that much more good thereof shall spring, To God more glory, more good will to Men From God, and over wrauth grace shall abound. (Milton, 12. 469-477) The passing supra is about Adam responding to Gabriels message about the Gospel.Gabriel has Just told Adam the level of how through Adam and Eves mistake rescuer overcame sin. But to the Cross he nailes thy Enemies, and Shall bruise the head of Satan, crush his strength (Milton, 12. 430,415). The intelligence information of Jesus gracious conquest over sin and terminal overwhelms Adam. He responds in lines 471-472 by manifestation that the post- pass offen world (with Jesus) is greater than the pre-fallen world in the Garden of Eden. Ad am is basically saying he does not feel as bad for the fall ecause of the good that will spring (line 476) forth from it.I think this passage is very(prenominal) neat and speaks a whole lot to the work of Jesus in my life. So much evil has come from the fall, and sometimes I demand myself, if God is all- knowing, then why did he make humans when he knew that we would fall? The whole poesy has helped me understand that why. Specifically the passage above ultimately, more good has come through Jesus, than bad has from sin and death This takes some weight off my shoulders whenever I sin and fall short.I now see that Gods grace and love is more powerful than anything bad that I can do. Jesus had slain sin and death, and I am exultant through Him. Even seeing Adams cheerfulness after the good news makes me see the fall of humankind differently it reminds me to look at Jesus rather than at my sin. In my discussion with my friend about this passage and the poem as a whole, I learned the power of literature. This poem speaks not only about Christianity, but also about the annals of beliefs.
