God created Adam from the earth, breathed life into his dead body and he became a living person!! God then put Adam to sleep, took a rib from him and created Woman!! God brought the Woman to the Man and they became one!! God gave them the power of choice and when faced with a life or death choice, they chose death. It was a Spiritual Death that plunged them into spiritual darkness because they were still very much alive physically and emotionally when God came calling in the cool of the day! God came daily to fellowship and the day after the plunge into spiritual death was no different for God!! God did as He had always done but on this day Adam hid from God!! Please pay close attention that God's behavior had not been altered in any way!! God's Grace changes us, we do not change it nor can we have any negative effect on His Grace!!
Did Adam go looking for God or did he hide from God? He hid!!
Did God hide or did He go looking for Adam to visit with, as always?? God's Grace set a precedent in the Garden of Eden!! God is still calling out to fallen man that is in spiritual darkness and spiritual death!! How did Adam get out of the spiritual death and darkness?? God called him out of it because Adam's futile attempts with something natural to fix something spiritual was a waste of time!! At the time of this writing I have been preaching for 35 years and I ,with a broken heart, have watched people do all manner of things in the natural trying to fix a spiritual problem. God's Grace works from within, effecting change in the heart and mind of mankind!! When you try to change yourself within by "doing" something in the natural in the name of religion to change your eternal future you are wasting your time. When you do that, you are attempting to reverse God's Divine Order which cannot be done!! You can wash a pig, spray it with religious perfume, put a church outfit on it but it will still be a pig!! May I introduce you to The Savior of the World, His Name is Jesus Christ!!!
"And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?"(Genesis 3:9 KJV)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
