Results of Sin!! Genesis 3:22-24

 Good morning all. Sorry for being AWOL and not getting back to the devotionals.  GOD is good all the time, all the time GOD is good.  You, my friend are blessed to be living in a country where you can freely worship the living GOD.

  Think about this. What if you lived in your dream home, placed in the perfect place you would like to be where there was only 1 simple rule.  Where there were no worries, no problems, and you were treated like royalty.  Your every need taken care of. No need to worry about food, money, care of the property, repairs, or anything.  The lap of luxury.

  Then one day you made a mistake as you chose to ignore the one simple rule.  Wham! Now you are banned from the house, the lap of luxury and you will have to work and toil for the rest of your days.  You are now is a small shanty, killing weeds and trying to scratch out a living to survive. That had to be a miserable feeling.

   Well, the first example of this was Adam and Eve.  They were told 1 simple rule - do not eat of the fruit of the tree of good and evil.  But, enticed, the fruit looked yummy and then...........

G R E E D === P R I D E === SELF SERVING

   Genesis 3: 22 And the Lord God 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.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed 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.

  If Adam and Eve had done what God said they may have been immortal.  Now they are mortal and will die one day.  Why?  Because, They could no longer eat from the TREE OF LIFE because they violated God's rule of not eating of the tree of good and evil!  That  is why the Cherubim and a flaming sword was placed there to guard it.

   Where are you today friend?  Following God's will or doing your own thing.  What will be the consequences of your actions.  We see the consequences of Adam and Eve's actions --- SIN!! BANISHED! THROWN OUT!  Think about this for a moment.

  Thank you for reading with me today. Love y'all. 

In Christ's Love and Grace
