THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD

Creation set in motion God's Plan and Purpose for mankind.
He gave man Paradise and a Single Command.
Adam and Eve were given Free Will
And the Serpent was able to Deceive them.

He said to them, “DID GOD REALLY SAY,
You must not eat from any tree in the garden?”

God had told Adam and Eve
That they were Not to eat from the Tree in the Middle of the Garden,
The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil,
That if they did, they would surely Die.

The Serpent said to Eve, “You will Not surely Die,
For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened,
AND YOU WILL BE LIKE GOD, knowing Good and Evil.”

When Eve saw that the Fruit of the Tree was good for food
AND PLEASING TO THE EYE,
And also Desirable for Gaining Wisdom,
She took some and ate it.
She also gave some to her husband, who was with her,
And he ate it.

This Act of Disobedience brought a CURSE upon mankind
From that point onward,
And they were Banished from Paradise.

The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife
And clothed them.

And the Lord said, 'The man has now become like one of us,
Knowing Good and Evil.
He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also
From The Tree of LIFE and eat, and live Forever.'

So the Lord Banished him from the Garden of Eden
To work the ground from which he had been taken.

After He drove man out,
He place on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim
And a Flaming Sword flashing back and forth
to Guard the Way to The Tree of LIFE.
(Genesis 2, 3)

From that time on God's Plan of Redemption when into Effect;
God's Plan to Redeem All who would Believe and Obey,
Back to Himself—Ultimately back to Paradise.
Faith, Believing God, would be counted as Righteousness. (Genesis 15:6)

Because Creation was and is a Completed work,
Christ Jesus was Crucified at Creation. (Revelation 13:8)
God's Plan of Redemption was in Effect at Creation.
He put into Effect His Plan to Redeem
Men and women back to Himself, back to Paradise.

TIME was put into Effect.
A Specific amount of TIME to accomplish God's Plan and Purpose;
To Redeem All who would be Redeemed, All who would Believe.
God would Work with man for Six Days and Rest on the Seventh.
God would Accomplish His Plan of Redemption in Six Days,
Six Thousand Years and then Rest.

At that time, He would have Obtained the Bride He Sought.
He would have Returned those who Believe to Paradise
Where they belonged;
The Place man was intended by God to Inhabit.

Today, we find ourselves in the Last of the Last Day of TIME,
Waiting for the Completion of God's Redemptive Plan;
The Completion of All that God has Foretold in His Word.

You are All sons of God through Faith in Christ Jesus,
For All of you who were Baptized INTO Christ
Have Clothed yourselves WITH Christ. (Galatians 3:26,27)

We Await the Return of Christ Jesus.
For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven,
With a Loud Command,
With the voice of the Archangel
AND WITH THE TRUMPET CALL OF GOD,
And the Dead IN Christ will Rise First.

After that, we who are still Alive and are Left
Will be Caught Up with them in the Clouds
To meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord Forever.
Therefore Encourage each other with these words.
(1 Thessalonians 4:16-18)

How insignificant are the Machinations of Unbelieving man
In the Context of God's Redemptive Plan.
The only thing that Counts is Faith Acting through love.
(Galatians 5:6)

And what is love? It is Obedience to God and His Word.
(2 John 6)

Disobedience brought the Curse
And Obedience brings the Blessing.
