God's Love

Gen 3:22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Gen 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Gen 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.


Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.


Rom 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.


Php 2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Since man sinned against God, God prevented man from becoming an eternal being by keeping him away from the tree of life. But God has proven His love towards mankind by sending His only begotten son Jesus as the living bread so that whoever believes in Him will receive Eternal Life. We are all born as sinners through one man’s (Adam) disobedience and now by the Grace of God and through one man’s (Jesus) obedience we are made righteous and are gifted with eternal life.

Let us all Praise God and thank Him for His love and Grace which made us righteous and for we will live with Him forever.

Be Dressed by God

Gen 3:6-11,21

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.

And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?

And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.

And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

This passage gives an account of the entry of Sin in human life and its consequences. Eve tempted by the Serpent, reached for the forbidden fruit and both Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s command and sinned. They tried to dress them up with fig leaves. When God wanted to commune with them and called out for Adam, both of them hid themselves away from God. Next few verses tell us about the curses and consequences earned by man through sinning. We should be aware that a small sin can keep us away from God and hinder our communication with God (Prayer). God who has driven away man from Eden has reunited us with Him through the obedience of His Son Jesus on the Cross.

When we try to cover our unrighteousness (nakedness) by our own efforts, the output is just a temporary covering (fig leaves which will fade away soon). Amidst all these curses, God cared for His creation by making dress for clothing them.

Today God calls us to return home to be dressed in white with Him in Heaven.

(Rev 3:5, He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.)
