God's Provision through Jesus Christ

Who We Are?

Provision of GOD

I believe you have read through the previous posts on Who we Are… and yesterday, as we were discussing what is Sin? We learnt that, When we don’t know God – that itself is a SIN. By not knowing God, we would not understand His heart, by not understanding His Heart we will not understand what He wants us to do…

“MEDITATING on the WORD – is keeping Sight to the Words of God.”

Today we are going to see what happened because of Disobedience and we will see What God provisioned for Mankind.

When Adam and Eve ate the Fruit – 1^st thing happened to them is Realization that they are Naked.

Genesis 2:25 And they both were naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves apron.  

Isn’t it interesting? Though they were naked initially – they were not ashamed… but as soon as SIN entered through Disobedience they saw themselves naked. When our SPIRIT is connected with GOD, we see others and ourselves as GOD sees, our hearts are clean and pure for oneself and for others. But as soon, corruption occurs in the Heart- our sight changes - not only about others but also our views on own selves are changed. Focus changes to oneself. This means that now we consider things of our lives more important than others. This is what happened at Garden of Eden – THE BLAME GAME.

 Sin introduced these following things to Mankind:

1.     Sight Changed - From God’s Holiness to oneself… {isn’t this the same thing Lucifer also had?}

2.     God gave them Curses

Woman – greatly multiply sorrow in conception, and birthing, Desire be your husband, and he shall rule over you.

Man – the Ground is cursed – Thorns and Thistles it will produce, Sweat of they face shalt thou eat bread.

Please understand these are Curses not what God intend for His children.

3.     They were cast out of the Garden of Eden – Their Spirit DIED and now they are in Physical State

But something very interesting happens here: Before giving the lists of curses God spoke beautifully revealing to the serpent as well as to Adam,  about how God would turn this mess into the blessing for mankind. He introduced Gospel to them. Lets look into Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed, it will bruise thy head, and thou shall bruise his heel.”

God introduced them how Jesus is going to come into the picture to save the mankind through the seed of a Woman – do you now understand why Jesus has to birth through a Virgin woman, and it says that serpent (Satan’s) will be bruised by Christ though it will harm his heel – what does this signify? It signifies the Son (Jesus) that is going to be born is going defeat Satan by HIS SACRIFICE.

A man is empty without Gospel. If gospel would not have been revealed to Adam- they would have suffered in Shame and Guilt always- covering themselves with Fig leaves; which is mere temporary.

Be excited God does not leave his children in the state of Guilt but rescue them by talking to them in their very state, even if it is Sinful.

Some may ask if he has a rescue plan then why can’t HE simply forgive? It is important to know that God is a JUST GOD. He works with Principles. When He created Light- He made sure Darkness had to be separated (Genesis 1:4). Result of Sin is Death – Adam and Eve died in the SPIRIT realm. And they were asked to be out of the Garden into the Physical Earth where we all live.

Also, God is Faithful. When He told Adam and Eve about the promise or the plan –in order to manifest his Words in the Spirit realm – He showed them how Jesus is going to be sacrificed and what will happen to the mankind.

Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins and clothed them.

I want you to take you to Revelation 5:6a “And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, stood a LAMB as it had been slain ….

God clothed Adam and Eve in the Garments of Righteousness – Jesus Christ as a LAMB was slain to cover them from their Shame. Which is what described so beautifully in 

Leviticus 17:11 - 'For the Life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have the given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. "

When did Jesus gave his blood on the Altar , when He made coats of skins and clothed them... Clothing is the atonement, a  covering, a promise made manifest for Adam and the generations ahead.  

Isaiah 61:10 – I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.

Though Sin brought DEATH, Christ brought HOPE – Whosoever believes in Him will not die but have eternal life.

Romans 3:22 – Even the righteousness of God which is by FAITH of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

Whose Faith is it talking about? Jesus Christ or Ours…

Understand Our Work is to Believe on the FAITH of JESUS CHRIST.

Empower yourselves in the Truth.
