Hello everyone,its been a great week and i am grateful for it so far.
Today,i will love to share some lessons i learnt from Bro Eli's teaching on the topic that says:
How did Adam commit sin?
Well,right from the beginning God created everything for us and for our good.
His intentions were not for us to commit sin,for all that he created was good.
Genesis 1:31
And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
From the above scriptures which was written by Moses many years ago it was written that God saw that everything he had created was good,which means that right from the beginning everything God created was good and wasn't meant for evil.
It was also confirmed by Apostle Paul even in the new testament that all things created by God was good.
1 Timothy 4 : 4
For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
Every creature of God is good but the problem is how we handle or used what God created for us
Bro Eli made an example of marijuana plant which was created for our good.but some men misused
it and when it is misused it endangers our lives.
Also,in the garden of Eden,the apple tree was created by God,it was not the apple tree that was evil.
God had given out clear warnings against the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
In the book of Genesis 2 : 17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
God had his reasons for telling Adam not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
But Adam transgressed God's commandments by going against God's command.
That was how and the reason Adam sin.
