Insightful, Biblical Devotions
And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; 17 but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die” (Gen. 2: 16-17).
God warned us when mankind first decided to turn away from Him, that sin results in death. Sin is devastating. How did it affect Adam and Eve? Shame, fear, banishment, death, and a lot of other things happened as a result of their sin. Death has now spread to all men because all have sinned. Its effect was first upon Adam and Eve. The effect of sin on Adam and Eve has not changed a single bit.
We all need the grace of God that Isa. 1:18 talks about. The grace of God is an unlimited favour of God which has been granted to all people. It’s His undeserved, His unconditional and His unlimited favour towards us. How do your sins get forgiven? Ask yourself. Only by what Jesus did. You can’t make yourself cleansed. The Bible talks about how the leopard can’t get rid of its spots. You must have God to supernaturally touch you and that’s the grace of God. Jesus came to die that He might make atonement for our sins.
