You will be like God

(Gen 3:13) Then the LORD God said to the woman, "What is this you have done?" And the woman said, "The serpent deceived me, and I ate."

Father, we ask for Your kind blessing as we bathe ourselves in Your Word. Working together through a journey toward the Good News, the Gospel of Christ, Amen

God was very, very disappointed with Adam's prideful actions. You see, Eve was deceived, but Adam knew better. Satan was invited in and along with him loads of nasty baggage. Pride, lust, deceit, murder, theft, lying. The Lord was absolutely justified in the sentence of death, but if He executed Adam then, I wouldn't be writing this and you would not be reading it.

God came pretty close by using the great flood to kill every air breathing creature on the planet, save seven souls plus Noah who survived, along with select animals, in the ark. (Gen 6:9-7:24) The problem was, Noah and his sons carried the infected seed with them, and generations later, here we are, still a slave to Satan. The sentence of death remains in place. We as man and woman kind are absolutely incapable of breaking these chains. Only God can do that.

(Joh 1:1-3) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

The scripture above may come as a surprise to some. Jesus was with God from BEFORE the world was created. It would be Jesus, being supernaturally born of a human woman, a pregnancy from a sin-free seed, the very seed of God from the line of Abraham. This seed would produce the Man/God who would die so that we all might live. Jesus, the second Adam, is the sinless man who willingly gave His life to correct Adam's horrible error.

As we go along on this journey of study, we will discover the prophesy over thousands of years of Christ's coming, and the gift he bore to set us free. Join us won't you?

Oh Lord, our God, we are full of thanksgiving for the blessing of having this mode of communication. Sharing the rich beauty of Your word, introducing us to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Thank-you Abba, Amen.
