Proof of a Sinful Beginning
8/13/19
One of the more touchy subjects humans have to deal with
is the fact that we are subject to a nature that is not very friendly. Many would like to conceal this truth and do
their best to ignore its presence or even deny that it exists. However, we have definitive proof that we
come from a line of death that rules our bodies without breakage and at the
same time gives us a True Creator who wants nothing but the best for us. What is amazing about our Creator is that HE
is ready and willing to forgive us of our sins and allow us to make things
right with Him, according to His perfect and holy ways. We do not have to live in such a devastating
manner but one of love, peace, and happiness and all we have to do is turn from
our wickedness and follow God’s Ways through obedience and our while we may
harbor the physical proof and punishment of sin our eternal hope will be spent
under the blood of His Son.
We have all made some pretty hideous mistakes in our
lives and even though time heals some of these painful wrongs there is an inner
element that still nags at our insides.
Even though many of us do not present with an outward look of pain or inner
torture, all of us have such feelings and scars hanging about our lives and
these pains continue to shine through our lives in such a manner that soreness
and with aches often occur. These run deep and bring with it torturous sessions of self worthlessness, depression, and
even oppression at times resulting in us not believing that we are worthy
enough or deserve to take another breath.
We spend countless amounts of money talking to others about what is
going on inside our hearts and minds and after years of therapy, we have nothing
to show for it because the pain still resides within our countenances. This is because as soon as we walk out of
these sessions and take a look at the scenery around us we are immediately
encompassed with the realities of the world’s promotions and everything that we
just tried to discuss legally overwhelms us again.
The concept of help from others is a great setting but
many times is not effective because we do not address the problems that invade
us effectively. If we do not know where
to begin with our issues it is impossible for us to not only address these
issues but to eradicate them from our lives permanently. Here lies the situation that many of us
either ignores or refuse to address which is our sinful beginnings and our need
for a Savior. The world does a bang-up
job in convincing us that there is no God or that He is not worthy of His
status and glorification that so many of our forefathers proclaimed. It is the job of the world to isolate us from
God as much as possible and to go against and reject His Standards at all times
and at all costs. And since our eternal
enemy has control over this world, its provisions, and a home-field advantage
it is easy for us to drop God from our lives and marches after what looks good
to our eyes at that moment. Through this
blinded and ignorant path that we follow from our enemy we begin to rely upon
the world and depend on its sustenance for you see the world shall never give
itself up to make you feel better or free you from its death grip, it just does
not work in this way.
At the beginning of last year, God shared with us an
article concerning exactly how our lives are born into sin and that through
this inherited process that each one of us cannot escape such a pattern. Not many people received this article with
open arms and great praise, as one who understands Kingdom and the forces that
vie for your eternal presence know but it is this Truth and Kingdom principle
that gives us the source of all our issues and at the same time gives us the
path to the answers we all seek and need.
But as stated above, the world shall never tell you this truth because
if it did then it would defeat its purpose and at the same time provide its
ruler a personal, verbal and eternal exclamation point as to why he was kicked
out of his perfect position in heaven. So,
in lieu of this, I should expect that this article shall follow suit as with
the one last year because it tells us of exactly what the issues are and who
initiated them. God loves you and He
wants us to live in Truth and harmony on His level not the world’s level and we
shall never know peace until we submit our hearts back to God.
No, it does not come easy for us to come into contact
with an origin of ours nor is it delightful to confront this issue and to
resolve it permanently. However, if we
did approach our issues in the Kingdom manner and address them this way our
world would not experience such devastation that it is currently witnessing and
experiencing. My parents taught me or
tied their best to teach me that it is not a good idea to allow issues and
problems fester for a long time inside your heart that it is best for them to
be dealt with as soon as possible so that they can be done and over with. This is excellent advice and is actually a
biblical principle that we see repeatedly throughout each book of this
wonderful Word of God. A short nugget
here for thought before we proceed with the details of this article. Do you see what our ways and lives produce
today? I mean everything from locking
the doors of our houses to solving the immigration issues have come under
scrutiny and continue to form angry reactions from so many people. Ever wonder why these proceedings of “fixing”
things always become wider and heavier but never truly move in a corrective
direction? The explanation that God is
about to give us about ourselves has the answer to this question and the “how
to” to correct them. So, if you wish to
continue to live in pain and suffering as your eyes greet a new day that God
has made stop reading now and continue in your path but if you really desire to
seek the Truth about what is going on in the world and in your life keep
reading and allow God to enter into your heart and to change you in every way
possible.
Genesis 2:7 has been one of the verses that God has
shared with us concerning various topics and it is one that reveals that God
creates mankind from the dust of the ground and through this specific process
forms a perfect being with His spirit within Adam. Also, in Genesis 2:21-22 it states that God
places Adam into a deep sleep and takes from him a rib and forms the woman from
the center of Adam. Of course, God did
not leave open the side of Adam He closed it perfectly so that all would still
be intact when Adam woke up. Adam still
being without sin provided the perfect helpmate through the Creative status of
God which means that both people were considered perfect and did not have or
represent any sin within them. God
performs both of these creations, not mankind and it is important that we
remember this because as we shall soon see things change and since perfection
was the original standard, nothing higher will result.
In both passages in Genesis 2, God was demonstrating His
eternal and Holy Ordination, reflected by our establishment both in living
spaces and life itself. Through these
two acts alone, they represented a course that God’s arch-enemy and ours as
well could not match, not even close and gives a foundation of eternal and
spiritual revenge that will quickly come into play. When it does it totally changes the
complexion of life in both the living spaces of humanity and in life itself
because the acts of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:7 brings sin into our lives and
introduces rebellion to perfection at the same time. No longer are humans perfect in like manner
as our Creator, but through our own choice this sudden shift in the mechanisms
of life is altered, not by God’s hand but by our own thus serving up the
reasoning behind why our choices prove to be either a beginning or an ending to
what we have experienced previously.
Since we were Created in Divine fashion and in a Divine Order it is that
standard that defines us originally and as one bumps their heads on a trunk
door, or breaks a bone playing a sport or any other injury that we encounter us
fine that our lives are not perfect and are subject to insults. It is also evident that our focuses have
changed and our goals have changed, so much that now they represent a physical
deviation from the Holy Order of our Creation and a selfish progression that
influences destruction and death.
Genesis 3:20 states the following:” And Adam called his
wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.” We notice one huge change in this verse from
the previous two verses used in this article and that is the being directing
the action and establishing ground as it were.
Up until this point, God was the only one making such creative
statements and not wavering on its origins or ordination but now we have Adam
making statements about who Eve is and will be.
Why is this so a difference and of importance? It is because Adam is no longer perfect and pure,
sin has entered into not only his life but Eve’s as well which means that we no
longer have a Divine, Pure, and Holy Creator instructing the guidelines of such
present and future conditions. It is
this statement and proclamation by Adam which opens the door for sin to run
away with our lives and to completely corrupt humanity within a short period of
time and through this human statement about Eve defines mankind’s understanding
about being divided from God for up until sin entered into our lives God was
the Creator of all living; and still is through the ordinances that He
established in the Garden of Eden, not Adam.
So, since we now have imperfect beings creating imperfect
beings there is no way possible that this lineage can change. Because of our disobedience and then
proclamation of it in this verse we are unhinged from perfection and thus
require a need of a way to make things right in the eyes of God’s heart. Immediately, God once again demonstrates what
is necessary for us to be pure in His eyes again, for in the very next verse
God sacrifices an animal and gives Adam and Eve a visual example of what kind
of covering is now needed in order for restoration to occur. When God Created life He did so in such a
manner that if we chose His Ways our lives would be perfect without any
problems what-so-ever, but at the same time did so in such a manner that if we
did choose to disobey that our lives and existence would not automatically be
wiped out and ended. God chose
perfection and holiness for our standards, it was OUR decision to choose sin
and disobedience; therefore, it is our responsibility that we are in the mess
that we are in today and thus proving without a doubt that we are born into sin
and our beginnings are of a sinful nature.
Adam tries his best to correct the situation by taking
the authority over the new conditions, but in truth, he blows it big time by the
words he utters. This comes to light in
Genesis 4:3-8 when his firstborn son has risen to the occasion enough to kill
his brother, hide his body, and then lie to God about the entire setting. The words uttered by Cain simply reflect Adam’s
words in Genesis 3:20 because it was in Genesis 3 where a sinful man was
speaking about future living conditions and it was Cain, his son who was
engaging, acting out, and completing the future of the words of a sinful
man. How important are our words and how
we view ourselves? I believe we now can
come to grasps just how vital (eternal) our motions can be on ourselves and on
others. Through the words of Adam, we
must all accept responsibility for what occurs in our lives from the moment we
are born and we must accept these results of such disobedience and sin.
But just as God provided a covering for Adam and Eve
before they left the Garden of Eden, He continues to give us this covering
today. It is our responsibility to share
the news of the eternal Covering with those who are willing to accept its heed. God was and still is correct about the
punishment of eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, but just
as He was faithful in demonstrating His Grace to Adam and Eve with His Way of
covering He continues to provide for us today.
He sent His Son to die for our sins and to shed His blood to serve as
this Covering. There is no way possible
that we deserve this but God allowed it voluntarily because He cannot stand to
see and to hear His prized Creations suffer in their own markings.
Church, it is our responsibility to tell the world of
this good and eternal Covering and what God did for our lives and wants to
continue to show us each day. But if we
are stuck in our own selfish mannerisms and hang-ups concerning denominations
this mission that we are supposed to complete will come to a complete halt, and
from what can be visualized we are only going about 0.5 mph right at the
moment. You know something? If we do not obey the command of dressing and
keeping the mission that Jesus gave us to do then we have eaten from the same
tree as Adam and Eve did and we deserve no less than the punishment they
received. We should be filled with joy
and happiness when we walk out of our doors in the morning for each day we have
the opportunity to show someone that we come in contact with about Jesus. Have you told anyone about Him today? How about last week, or last month? I believe when we put aside our selfish
mirrors we will have no choice but to say we have done a poor job at this
command. But we still have a few minutes
remaining to not only change our own hearts and return to God but we can show
these beautiful and hurting people that God has provided a way around our
sinful beginning and what a wonderful testimony this shall be when lives are
reached for the Kingdom of God.
