BACK TO THE GARDEN
Brother James, OIC
Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
There was a time when mans relationship with God was with childlike trust, healthy and whole and God Himself was the source of every thing man needed. It’s because Adam knew God intimately and God dealt with Adam as He would a son.. Therefore God Himself completed Adam. There was no shame in anything Adam did because He knew God and Gods breath, His Spirit, was in him. Adam believed in God.
During this time of perfection in the Garden, Eve was created by God from Adam to be Adams helpmate. But Eve proceeded to be deceived by the Serpent and ate of the forbidden tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam then, I believe did exactly what God expected of him and he also ate of the Tree which became his laying down his life for his bride Eve. From that point sin entered the world through Adam. pointing to Him Who would become sin for us.
2Co 5:21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.
Col 1:20-29 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister; Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church: Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
Eve was enticed by Satan then ensnared, then Adam transgressed and sin entered the world. Sin is an alienation of your mind from God by one thing and one thing only…Trusting the Flesh and the False Solutions Satan uses to entice it. These are snares of Satan.
2Ti 2:24-26 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
1Jn 3:8-11 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
If the Spirit of Christ has been formed in you (see Gal 4:19, 2Peter 1:4)by the Seed of Truth Gods Word (see Mk 4:14-20) you then are Born of God (see Js 1:15-18, 1Peter 1:23) thus having had the Faith of Christ you are now the Righteousness of God through Him (see Ro 3:20-26) then you are a sinless new creature. (see 2 Cor. 5:17, 1 John 3:9)
Then you have returned Back To The Garden and God is not ashamed to call you Son not because of anything you‘ve done but because of what He has done for you.
