And the grand finale is they were thrown out of the garden of Eden!

I have to point out, I find it fascinating that here are the first Humans, they did not make it long with out making a mistake. God did not ask much, just do not eat from a couple of trees. They had a whole garden, and it was not good enough! Then to top it off when asked, Adam blamed Eve, and Eve blamed the serpent.

Fast forward to present day, and things really still look the same for some! Still making excuses, still looking for something when all they need is right in the palm of their hand! We still battle the serpent on a daily basis, and he is still peddling the same empty promises. The sad part is so many still fall victim to him daily, just as Eve, and Adam did. However, we have the upper hand, we have already defeated the devil, through the death of Christ, all we have to do is stay the course! Christ died for us, and took the weight of the world on his shoulders, through that sanctification we were given the promise of eternal life with the Lord. Yes, it is true this world is far removed form the garden of Eden, however each of us are given the same chance that Adam and Eve received. God has once again laid out the guidelines, and shown us the path, all we have to do is trust in the Lord, and rely on him, not the promises of the devil.

Peace,
