Oh Eve...

Oh Eve...

I know you didn't realize the consequences of your decision to take that bite. It looked good to eat and held promise of making you wise, knowing good AND evil, making you like God...

If you hadn't done it, I would still have perfect relationship with God and those around me...

Oh God...

I'm so amazed and astounded at Your wisdom. That You planned for the consequence of Eve's decision long before You created her. You determined to provide a way to bring me back into that perfect, sinless relationship with You...

Oh Jesus...

Thank you for living an obedient life, dying an incredibly horrible and painful death and defeating the power of sin, so I could have relationship with the Father again...

With You, I have the power to live life as God designed it to be!

"The Woman said to the serpent, "Not at all. We can eat from the trees in the garden. It's only about the tree in the middle of the garden that God said, 'Don't eat from it; don't even touch it or you'll die.'"
The serpent told the Woman, "You won't die. God knows that the moment you eat from that tree, you'll see what's really going on. You'll be just like God, knowing everything, ranging all the way from good to evil."
When the Woman saw that the tree looked like good eating and realized what she would get out of it—she'd know everything!—she took and ate the fruit."
Genesis 3:2-6 The Message

"Because of the sacrifice of the Messiah, His blood poured out on the altar of the Cross, we're a free people—free of penalties and punishments chalked up by all our misdeeds. And not just barely free, either. Abundantly free! He thought of everything, provided for everything we could possibly need, letting us in on the plans He took such delight in making. He set it all out before us in Christ, a long-range plan in which everything would be brought together and summed up in Him, everything in deepest heaven, everything on planet earth."
-Ephesians 1:7-10 The Message
