The Father's Desire
Genesis 2:8-10, 15-16
1. The Life that God gives
2. The Living environment that God creates
The Enemy Disception
Genesis 3:1-5
1. Doubt through Misrepresentation
2. Confusion through half-truths
3. Lies through Power of Suggestion
The woman's Disobedience
Genesis 2:16-17, 3:6
1. Good for food (lust of the flesh)
2. Pleasing to the eyes (lust of the eyes)
3. Pride of Life
The man's Deflection
Genesis 3:12
Important Lessons to learn :
- Conflicts are normal in every relationship
- Fight the common enemy (the devil, satan), not among ourselves
- Instead of recognising who the real enemy is, they turned on each other
- Instead of accepting the responsibility, they attempted to shift the blame somewhere else other than themselves
- Instead of admitting their guilt, they tried to cover themselves with aprons of leaves
- Instead of placing God first, they broke the chain of command (God-Adam-Eve-Creature)
- Instead of trusting in God's Word, they doubted and disobeyed God's Word
- Instead of running to God, they ran away from God (it is not Adam and Eve who sought God but it is God who seek after them after they fell)
The Gracians Devotion :
- Appreciate the tremendous heart and love of God for us
- Accept God's guidance even when we don't fully understand it but trust that He has our best interest
- Acknowledge there is an enemy who seeks to separate us from God
- Admit when we're wrong and take responsibility
- Daily ask for God's strength to obey Him
Breakup is very painful not just in physical relation, but also in spiritual relationship. God is painful when we stray away from Him.
God's Plan Is One That Turns RUIN to REDEMPTION !!
