Summary:
Adam, the first son, learned disobedience through his experience in the garden. Jesus Christ learned obedience through the things he suffered. Jesus opened the door for us to return to that relationship as sons to the Father.
Show Notes:
We can learn from Creation as God can use anything to teach us if we are open.
God was teaching Adam and Eve and would have taught them about the tree of good and evil when they were ready.
God created man with a free will and after eating the fruit, realized that they made a mistake. We now have a struggle to make the right decisions.
Adam and Eve walked with God in the cool of the evening, Christ died so that we could have that relationship with God once again.
Those who have the revelation of the Father and of the Son and that have the revelation that they are a Son are the ones that see the big picture.
Why did God give us free will? He wants us to love Him because of our choice or else it would be a false worship.
God is bringing forth His Sons, bringing them forth by their free will, not forced to do it.
Reach into the Spirit and find out what we need to be doing, feel the heart of the Father.
