The Fall of Man…and The Promise From God!
)))http://stillreformed.blogspot.com/2008/1…
What was a blur to Adam and Eve suddenly became crystal clear! Sin entered their world, and they soon discovered the shame of it! Oh the shame! This moment for me is so sad because I actually feel some of the horror of what they must have felt like and oh how I understand how damaging shame is from studying this question and looking into what transpired here! It causes one to see how bad God felt for them…first he calls them, and they tried to cover their nakedness with man-made garments. After sin entered their hearts they were so terrorized and frightened of God,they ran trying to hide in the trees as though the trees even could cover their sin! So very sad for me to feel this! The good ole blame game was introduced as they tried to explain it all away, looking for any scapegoat! How sad for the Lord Gary…I so feel this for him, His beloved fall from grace, imagine… as he listened and took it all in! His disappointment must have been huge! This eventful day for mankind marks the beginnings of lessons learned…the hard way! Once God found them they see how loving He really is. He proves his faithfulness by first providing them with a covering! They quickly see by this act on God’s part that He will never be pleased with any man-made attempt to cover sin! Their attempt to cover themselves in fig leaves didn’t meet with God’s approval. Also both Adam and Eve discover something further ~ that God being Sovereign will say what is acceptable….and only His clothing is acceptable! Hard pill I am sure for Adam and Eve to swallow! The more they see the gracious and divinity of the Lord here….the more their wretchedness must speak to their hearts,souls and mind! Our Lord rejects their inadequate garments which testifies to them and us absolutely that man- made efforts to prepare for God’s presence will be rejected. The clothing provided by God required Him to kill two animals. perhaps sheep, this taught them that a substitutionary atonement (or covering) required the innocent blood as a condition of forgiveness for the sinner! What this teaches me is we cannot deal with sin sufficently on our own…Gary that is why God stepped in here and made the garments for them… HOW MUCH THIS COUPLE LOST…in those moments we will probably never fathom…to think…they thought for even a second they would be as God! What sorrow they must have had as they were driven away from the Garden of Eden. Knowing also that they would not partake of the tree of life…maybe for eons…causes me to wonder how they dealt with these aspects! Their perfect lives torn and broken into fragmented pieces…the tears they must have shed! Knowing that their fellowhip with God was now altered…no more walks with the Lord in His garden…the love talks harder to find…the rest gone…their spirits in anguish! Kinda makes one just wanna cry, ya think?
There is only one perfect sacrifice in God’s eys and the spilling of innocent blood points to the one perfect sacrifice ~ Christ for atonement of sin! John 1:29.
By killing the animals we see. the need for a blood sacrifice…Heb 9:22; Gal5:24; Rev 13:8 (the lamb).
Garments were a covering for sin ~ Ps 32:1, Isa 61:10, Gal 3:26, Rev 19:8
Manmade systems of covering are not suitable!
We can see from the story of the fall of man why we need to trust in God Gary and I also see how shame distorts the image of God in us. But what we see here also is that while Adam and Eve changed…God didn’t! He remained faithful when they were faithless, He went all out and provided the sacrifice needed to meet the needs of the fallen Adam and Eve!
Rev 22:14 says…”Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can have access to the tree of life and enter the city by the gates!” When we are washed by the blood of Christ we take on His Rigtheousness, and heaven becomes our eternal reward…Adam and Eve learn here of how kind our Lord truly is…for they see He has made a future promise to mankind…as seen in Rev 22:14! I see that being washed by the blood of Christ is the only Righteous act which will please our Lord! Sin alienates us from the Lord and we need the blood of Jesus covering us as garments, to escape the wrath of God! Sin merits death, and we see what a price we will pay without the atoning blood of the lamb of God! You know Gary…Adam and Eve were driven out…but God opened a pathway which led to Christ and to that eternal staircase which promises life and happiness. Jesus is the promised seed , He is our blood covering, the only sacrifice pleasing to God. Christ opens the doorway which leads mankind back to Holiness!
Genesis is so beautifully touching and yet so sad too! My heart is being stretched here as I feel the expanse of Godly love our Lord has placed in me…how I love the unveiling of the story of Creation…it just causes me to adore my Lord and fill me with wonder! It reveals to me pictures of the Lord, His Creation, I see into his heart ~ His divine magnificent heart ~ spiritually I see depths of His nature and feel compassions which I never felt before! so wonderful to have Him writing into my heart in this manner, causing my spirit to glow! Thanking you brother for this! I hope I have touched on all the basics here.
This study is a priviledge and a blessing! God bless u!
Genesis presents the creation of man as male and female in the image of GOD (Gen. 1:26-27; 5:3; 9:6), man’s fall and ruin, his judgment, and his possible triumph in GOD’s grace. In the context of man’s judgment came the first whisper of the gospel message of the final triumph of Christ over Satan: “And I will put enmity between you [the serpent] and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel” (Gen. 3:15). This prophecy was fulfilled by the death of Jesus on the cross, a sacrifice that destroyed the works of the devil (I John 3:8).http://www.angelfire.com/sc3/wedigmontan…
God is merciful, they are badges of our proverty and infamy, that we should be thankful for the clothes God puts on our backs, The animals that the skins were taken from was slain before them, so that they would recognize death, and realize their mortal state, also a forshadowing of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross through the sacrifice of the animal that came from the skin for their sins, “Thus the first thing that died was a sacrifice, or Christ in a figure, who is therefore said to be the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” “the flesh was offered to God, a whole burnt-offering; the skins were given to man for clothing, signifying that, Jesus Christ having offered himself to God a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savour, we are to clothe ourselves with his righteousness as with a garment, that the shame of our nakedness may not appear.” Also through the seed of the woman would come the salvation of man. That Satan would bruise his heel and that Jesus would crush his head. Satan would kill Jesus physically, which was a minor death, compared to Jesus crushing his head through eternal damnation in Hell, the spiritual death.
Gen 3:15 is the first prophesy. This is speaking of Jesus being bruised in the heel; his death, and Satan being bruised in the head; his destruction.
15 And I shall put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her seed. He will bruise you in the head and you will bruise him in the heel.”
Jesus is the way to salvation.
They learnt that there’s a price to pay for sin – God killed the first animal to cover their nakedness – first blood spilt was because of their disobedience to God’s ways.

THE SECRET
There have to be a purpose for life otherwise we will miss the peaceful path of happiness to choose what is right & wrong.
So,
Spiritually, what is God?
What’s makes God as god? What is God’s Power?
Well, just try to know, what’s makes God as god, the Power, isn’t it? So what the power can do? Ah? Well, it can give the ability to organise all things & it can give the ability to separate everything and most importantly, the Ability to control everything, isn’t it? Isn’t it good? Ah? So, from my hard study & research effort with the help from god, I realized that the ability to control everything, the Power of God is gradually increased in the full amount to use so; The Power of God is always the omnipotent & existed among everything. & The God now is always the same omnipotent for us, who is organised us & we are growing towards perfection. The perfection is the final stage, not the end. & The Power of God, the Ability is the reward for us to control everything in a proper manner, like the true God of goodness. & Everlasting Happiness is the final stage. & it cannot come alone without the final stage perfection of God. & if god always perfect in perfection then there have to be beginning with God for the organizing progress of all things. So, there is No end and also No beginning for all things, including this on going organizing progress. So, we cannot get anything from nothing. E=MC2
If you don’t still agree,
Note this: you can use any thing for Good or Bad so, whenever possible If you ask the god for the good reason to give you the ability perfection, because of your obedience, then the God will give you, if the god is good & Almighty.
If you are humble, Please, Pray to know the truth from true God by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with great faith. Good or bad, Good with bad, we choose both for our life purpose so values are most important, God gave us the rights to do what is right for you & sometimes, things can be right in your point of view but wrong in Public point of view so Basically, we & god can do anything for right reason but just pray about it for the Good Answer and try to do the God’s will first always.
Just think, why so much trouble & pain in this world? Then there is only one reason, without pain, no pleasure, without them, we cannot enjoy this life so always we need them. You use pain & pleasure instead of, they use you, I mean the vision of your future should be clear & it have to pull you rather than you have to push so you must be certain to win in order to succeed in your Best job. Keep the photo of your vision, feel it strong enough in your visualizing mind & your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. & Love is the Ability. We all make mistakes so it is hard to look for star in daylight. So just in faith, it is possible. Like that the faith in true God. & If you think, even expert can be wrong then you have to make the fine research in all most everything so It is hard & some time, it is impossible to achieve so Why we need inappropriate action to find the owner of higher power? So, because of Lack of faith in true God, we do not have the great gift of understanding of things. & All things are spiritually first, to govern by God with glory so closely, Have a look at this world of wonders of yours & then you know the truth, when you listen to your real voice and then Having a strong desire to do the best every day then stick with the best to do your best. & most importantly, try to be grateful for what you have now to get out of fear & then, doing your best & making good people, this is going to make your life winning.
The Law of mercy cannot rob the Law of justice so Justice demands the punishment of our sin but The Law of mercy requires the forgiveness to give to us & God is perfect in perfection so cannot violate his laws so The God provided the way to our salvation to overcome our sin so Jesus Christ sacrifice is much needed to return to live with God, so Jesus Christ is our savior.
Did you make the commitment to find joy in every moment by using your empowering meanings & conscious focus for the needs of your five senses?
Did you make this promise; I will never going to settle less than I can be?
Do you have the must realistic measurable rules, goals & best clear image of what you really want in all aspects of your life?
Do you live your life as a mission for your vision purpose?
Breaking down your vision into mini-goals & give must time for them regularly.
Write it down the answers to be more real &
Try to know all the basics to manage your life & Ask: Is it enjoyable? Rather than believing the progress is hard.
The Power is focus; choose wisely & consistently for your greater chance of success. http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=Cpc-t-Uwv1…http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=O061waey5g…

Strawberry answered that question for all of us.
eternal gain was not taught in the OT.
