The New England Primer was the first reading textbook designed for the American colonies. It became the most successful educational textbook published in the late 1600s in colonial America. It was the very foundation of most schooling before the 1790s. Children learned the letter A with this important theological truth: "In Adam's fall, We sinned all." Yes, in elementary school! Life is so simple. Sin is the pervasive problem and the only solution is the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. You are either "in Adam" or you are "in Christ." We learn that sin and death entered the world through Adam and "in Adam," we all sinned. The Bible tells us God created Adam and Eve as the first humans, placed them in the Garden of Eden, and gave them a strict commandment not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disobeyed God, resulting in God banishing them from the garden and imposing the curse on the human race as a result of their sin. If you are in Adam, you're under the reign of sin and death, headed for eternal condemnation. But if you are in Christ by faith in His sacrifice on the cross, you are free from sin and death and will reign in life through Him, because Christ's gift is greater than Adam's sin!
