God’s Lessons for Mankind
In order for us to understand the impact of the world’s fallen state and eventual redemption, we have to go back to the beginning to see how things were, then how things changed and then what God had to do to redeem mankind. Each step was an evolution of revelation and teaching in both the Word and human example of what God had to teach mankind regarding the affects of man's fallen state as well as what it would take to remedy it as well as the utter impossibility and futility of mankind accomplishing it on his own. In addition, man and the Lord had to deal with the Adversary that did everything in his power to prevent the remedy as God stated in the garden that one day the seed of the woman would crush Satan's head.
It occurred to me, one day, that the Bible had to be written because God’s plan was interrupted. If everything had remained as it was in the Garden, then the stories of God’s love would be faithfully accepted from Adam himself as we all, with Adam, would be eternal beings with full access to the Tree of Life. We would be in a world with no seasons or severe weather, with a tropical climate. This would have been the norm worldwide while communing with God face to face, commonplace.
However, everything turned upside down because of unbelief. Unbelief morphed into disobedience severely damaging our eternal existence with God. So, under these brand-new set of circumstances that were the result of unbelief, God had to let us know how things were now going to have to be going forward until His solution could bring it all back.
1 – We were now going to die as we all inherited Adam's sinful nature, Rom 5. But we could still commune with God through a covering of our new sinful condition through a blood sacrifice of an animal.
2 – We were now going to have to work hard and labor to survive.
3 – Childbirth would no longer be a complete joy without severe pain.
4 – God would have to arrange through man’s procreation the solution to redeem mankind to Himself. Through procreation and lineage, as all would be related to Adam, all mankind could be saved equally and corporately. Not separately. This way God's remedy could be completed ONCE FOR ALL.
5 – God would have to teach mankind the many consequences of unfaithfulness in how one's choices affected everyone around them as well as creation. Through fulfilled Prophecy, God’s word would become real and true and become the standard by which Faith in God and His Word would leap from a mere blind faith to a fully reasoned Faith.
6 – God would have to teach us how his temporary sacrificial solution coupled with His Laws for daily living and worship would allow Him to continue to commune with them. However, in increasing the responsibilities through the Law, God could show mankind the futility of attaining salvation through works. The two axioms of Scripture would continually permeate throughout God’s Word.
Heb 9:22 - ...without shedding of blood there is no remission.
Heb 11:6 - ...without faith it is impossible to please him...
For its only through the lessons of ceremonial sacrifice that we can make the connection of what God accomplished on the cross for all mankind.
7 – Then through both blessings and curses, mankind would be given a choice to be able to appreciate how communing with God was such a wonderous experience of God’s Love vs an alternative lifestyle without God. This choice would be paramount to the ultimate choice of when God’s permanent solution was fulfilled by sacrificing Himself in hopes that mankind would embrace His final and finished solution to man’s dilemma.
For without unbelief as perpetrated by Satan, there never would have been caused to teach mankind how God’s plan of redemption to God Himself was paramount to man’s own existence and a Love-fulfilled life. This is something that Satan and those he blinds cannot grasp. For such willful ignorance hardens one’s consciousness to the point of a hateful and self-inflicting experience when God’s Word becomes fodder for the self-depraved. Some of them may acknowledge the existence of God but do not believe one Word of what He says. They go the way of Pharoh and are hardened to their own destruction.
Hence, the Lessons for mankind are plainly printed for our learning (Rom 15:4) for those who pay attention (Prv 25:2), have an open heart for Love and recognize God in the beauty in His creation. For those there is hope, eventual Joy and an eternal existence. For, for them, God acknowledges their heart and opens their eyes and their ears. Acts 16:14.
The bold prayer that God more than gladly obliges any human that prays it. Dear God Most High, I want to know the Truth about you and what in the world is really going on in my life. I don't want to hear it from a Pastor, a Priest or a Holy Man! I want to hear it from you and only you. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
