God wants to establish and cultivate an eternal
relationship with you that is based upon love. This is the example
seen in the Garden of Eden as Jesus came to the garden every day to
nurture the budding relationship with Adam and Eve but all that came
to an abrupt end when they disobeyed the command not to eat from the
Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam and Eve unknowingly set in
motion a chain of events that would affect mankind with a deadly
condition known as sin. God can see into the future and already had
a solution prepared. In the 6,000 years of human history, the single
most important event was the cross upon which Jesus died 2,000 years
ago. The Bible refers to it as a mystery which baffled the Devil.
Jesus was crucified because of Adam’s sin to restore the
relationship that was broken in the Garden of Eden and to give you
an opportunity to become a child of God. This means God the Father
has reconciled mankind back to Himself through Jesus’ atonement on
the cross. Salvation is an eternal relationship with God and we are
a new creature after we have been born again. This new birth cannot
be earned by man; it was fully paid on the cross. Jesus was
motivated by love and came to give us an abundant life. He wants a
relationship with you and is waiting for you to initiate it. |
