Adam's Heart - Spirit, Water, Blood (7)
Are we commanded to judge? Yes, but we are also commanded to make a right judgment, John 7:24. Firstly, a right judgment measures a man's words against the words of God as written in the Holy Bible to see if both say the same thing, John, 8:28, 12:49, 14:10, 16:13; 1 Corinthians 1:10.
Secondly, a right judgment involves watching to see if a man's actions are the same actions performed by the Father, John 5:19. Thirdly, a right judgment looks at the fruit of a man's words and actions to see if that fruit produces the same countenance found in Jesus, Proverbs 8:30-31; Philippians 4:4, 1 Thessalonians 5:16.
The only 100% accurate conclusions about Adam and Eve's hearts as demonstrated in Genesis 3:12-13 are that Adam and Eve listed events and then confessed their disobedience to God. Everything they said in their confessions were true. Adam obeyed God after God's confrontation, and Adam's countenance was that of life. In comparison with the Holy Bible, Adam spoke truth; Adam's ways were consistent with God's plans; and his countenance was that of life.
Adam's spirit, blood and water all testify in agreement with each other and therefore the matter is established by God's Holy Words that Adam did not blame either God or Eve. Blame would have produced the opposite in all three testimonies. We do not have the right to impute any sin against them.
