Topic: " ADAM WHERE ARE YOU ? - Gen. 3 : 9 (NKJV)
Ref: Heb.4:13, Gen.3;9, Ps. 11:4, John.3:13, Jer.23:23-24
Our God is so caring and loving that He always come down :
* To see what they are doing. - Jer. 23 : 23-24, Gen. 11 : 5
* To communicate with them. - Gen. 3: 8-9.
* In times of their distress. - Exo. 3 : 7-8
* To affirm their trust. - Judges. 6 : 12
* To give judgement. - Gen. 4 : 9-13
* To deliver them. - Exo. 3 : 8, Gen. 18 : 21.
God made man a royalty in the "Royal Garden of Eden", making life very comfortable for Mr and Mrs Adam - God`s image with Angels attending to them, making sure the Prince and Princess of the beautiful garden lack nothing.
The good father was very transparent even to the extent that He opened up every secret in connection to the garden, giving Prince Adam, the authority to name each animal, insect, etc to his (Adam)`s discretion. Gen. 2 : 19
He also showed them the manual to sturdy in order not to breach the "Father-Son" covenant that existed between them.-
Gen. 2 : 15-17. ............. BUT.
Any time we tend to underestimate the leniency and also neglect the instructions of God:
* We loose the favor and glory of God.
* We loose our senses of sight, touch, taste, smell, and speech.
* Our totality becomes prone to the impulse conversion of our dependance on God to the devil.
* Our inheritance is shifted from SONS and DAUGHTERS to SLAVES and mere CREATURES.- Gen. 3 : 24
* Instead of we enjoying the available provisions by God, we rather struggle. Gen. 3 : 17-19.
* We become naked, enabling the devil to clothe us with garments of lies and filth.- Gen. 3 : 10.
* Just like trees, we loose certain nutrients in the roots to help us bear good fruits.
* We loose the covering of God.
Our perception about God changes.- Gen. 3 : 4-6
* Our communication with God ceases.
QUESTIONS !
*WHERE ARE YOU NOW ?
*WHERE WOULD YOU BE IF JESUS COMES TO PAY YOU VISIT - NAKED OR CHEST OUT ?
