Thousands of years ago,the Bible have already predicted how would we live in this world
-does this passage describe our world or what?
-this wasnt God's original plan.He defintely had something better in mind.
-THE ORIGINAL PLAN
-God's original plan started with Adam...He scooped up some dirt and sculpted a statue
-he made a hunk out of dirt,Adam
-he amazingly,breathed the breath of life through Adam's nostrils and he came alive
-the bible listed that a statue became a man-living,moving,breathing person!
-God breath filled Adam and he became a man full of the LIFE OF GOD-spirit,soul and body
-then came EVE, token out of Adamn's rib..and both of them were in the Life-filled Garden
-Everything in the Garden was filled with loaded fruits and food..God gave them authority over everything
-Everything resounded with LIFE!(this was God's plan that is to give life)
-GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN WAS LIFE
-Genesis 1:26-28(thenGod said, 'Let Us make man in Our image,according to Our likeness;let them
have dominion over the fish of the sea,over the birds of the air and over the cattle,over all the earth and every
living thing
-)God created man in His own image, both female and male
-LIFE WAS GOOD IN THE GARDEN
-the plan was to saturate humanity with HIS life
-gave us everything we need(free will,sharp mind,rich abundance,healthy body,authority,blessings,great interpersonal relationship
with him!
-bless and prosper mankind
-everything that life represented
-LIFE AND LIFE ONLY
-Life was everywhere!
-Adam,Eve and the Garden were loaded with Life of God
-God's goal and desire for mankind was LIFE and everything good
-it was summarize to life,life,life,life,life,life,life,life,life!
-death was not God's plan for us
-gives us free will with little instructions
-he gave adamn and eve everything in the garden except the knowledge tree of good and evil
-DEATH AND ONLY DEATH
-Lord told them,they would surely die if they eat the forbidden fruit
-Adam and Eve, allowed sin and death to enter into this perfect set-up
-they listen and obeyed the devil who tempted them through a pack of lies
-2 kind of death entered in us
-SPIRITUAL DEATH
-PHYSICAL DEATH
-died spiritually and their hearts were seperated from God.
-died physically and their bodies expired more then 900 years later
-death->major problem for mankind,the original plan was ruined
by sin and death entered the Human race
-cataclysmic.Tragic Mankind went into a 911 code blue condition!
a state of emergency
-the whole human race suffered the day Adam and Eve sinned
-because Adam= the whole mankind was implicated
-death reigin throught that 1 man that many were made sinners
-death was a seperation from God spread to all men
-THE HOLE
-this spiritual death or seperation from God created an internal aching void in all of us
-every person knows he or she is created with a life for God!
-we know there is an emptiness
-we try to fill it without God, using subsitutes;addictions,money,status,relationship
,material things,intellectualism,intoxication,parties,prestige and power
-but we end up being empty again(never satisfied)
death lodged in us so the hold is a God shaped hole is caused by death
-mankind had enjoyed a friendship with the Lord and lived life as God intended
-the minute they ate the forbidden fruit they died
-spiritual seperation happend,God resound life,life,life turns to death,death,death
because of the fall
-mankind needed supernatural life support
-God breathed life
-adam and eve sinned
-death entered
-Houston,we have a problem
