Transforming Perspective:  Conversation about our need to understand what happened to Man which requires Jesus Christ to redeem him into a right relationship with God the Father.

Genesis Chapter Three provides a summary of the events that occurred, causing  Man to be separated from God.

Although, there is much to learn about Humanity’s Fall, two events are important for us to know and understand.

Eve became enthralled by deception in thought, in mind and in sight. God provided food from everything in the Garden except the fruit of one particular tree, yet Eve’s flesh began to desire what God had not given and she submitted to the temptation, which was her Sin.   

Adam was given the command by God not to partake of the fruit, yet he placed Eve’s provision above God’s command, and in disobedience Sin against God, and in Sin both were separated from God.

The separation was more than simply distance or lack of access to God but Adam (Man, Humanity) became dead spiritually, falling from harmony with God and from His  providence.

So much so,  Adam became afraid or dreaded God which in Scripture is called an enmity, and is still present in those who have not yet accepted God’s Grace in Jesus Christ, our reconciliation to God.

Jesus exhorts that the world is condemned already, being under the influence of the powers of deception, such as pride believing Man does not need God, and temptations of  the flesh as greed for money and power which can never be satisfied.

Biblical Principle: Everyone born has a sin nature and has sinned against God, therefore needing to accept the Way of redemption to him which is Jesus Christ.
