Back to Paradise

From Sunday's Message in Genesis 3:20-24.

Here we see one of the consequences of Adam & Eve's failure to obey. Adam and Eve had to leave the Garden of Eden for their own good. 

Often times we may not immediately realize the dire consequences of our sins. This false sense of security may lead us to think that we got away with it and that we can sin again since there were no immediate consequences but be sure your sin will find you out.

In Hebrews it tells us, "It is appointed unto men once to die but after this the judgment."

We will all have to give an account for our actions. If we suffer no punishment in this life we can be sure we will in the next. Part of the deception of sin is that we can get away with it but in reality we won't. 

Adam and Eve lost their home, their comfortable lifestyle but most importantly they lost their close relationship with the Lord. It was this relationship that Jesus Christ came to restore.

"For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world but that the world through might be saved." John 3:18.
