Remaining in the Paradise

    “ The snake was the most clever of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. The snake spoke to the woman and said, 'Woman, did God really tell you that you must not eat from any tree in the garden?'
      The woman answered the snake, 'No, we can eat fruit from the trees in the garden.  But there is one tree we must not eat from. God told us, 'You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden. You must not even touch that tree, or you will die.''
    But the snake said to the woman, 'You will not die. God knows that if you eat the fruit from that tree you will learn about good and evil, and then you will be like God!'
     The woman could see that the tree was beautiful and the fruit looked so good to eat. She also liked the idea that it would make her wise. So she took some of the fruit from the tree and ate it. Her husband was there with her, so she gave him some of the fruit, and he ate it.
     Then it was as if their eyes opened, and they saw things differently. They saw that they were naked. So they got some fig leaves, sewed them together, and wore them for clothes.” Genesis 3.1-7

    Dear all,
    Take care of your spiritual life by living in the fear of God all the time. Do this so you may be able to enjoy what God has promised in His Word. Adam and Eve were living in the Garden of Eden, Paradise. There was no pain, sickness, poverty, misery, violence, no suffering simply because they were living in the fear of God. There was respect and consideration with everything that God had done and had given them. However, a time came when they gave ear to the voice of the devil. Instead of rebuking it right away, Eve decided to keep a conversation with the evil one. Like many are still doing today and as a consequence of her mistake she fell into temptation and ended up doing what she knew in advance that she should not do. God was very clear with her when He said, “You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden. You must not even touch that tree, or you will die.” Genesis 3.3

    Their lack of fear brought suffering and shame upon everyone who had nothing to do with their mistake. That’s why we all have to be very careful about whatever we do, otherwise we will destroy the life of innocent people.

    It does not matter what you have to do to live in the fear of God, whether you are criticized, persecuted or whatsoever, just do it because in the end you will have the guarantee of your salvation.
