When God Formed Adam

When God Formed Adam 

When God formed Adam from the dust of the ground

And in that moment created man in His own image. 

Then breathed life into and gave man a living soul, 

God then blessed man, 

By placing His spirit within, 

And gave to man a free will and by this created him a moral being. 

God saw everything He had made, and behold, it was very good. 

By giving Adam a free will, 

Man would forever be more than just an abstract entity. 

Free will insures within all, 

That God's Word is His Bond of Integrity, 

That His Bond by His Word will never change, 

His Word will be the same today and tomorrow as yesterday. 

God commanded the man, "saying, 

Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat, 

But of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, 

Located in midst of the Garden, 

Thou shalt not eat of it, 

For in the day that you eat thereof you will surely die." 

At this time, Adam had not taken and eaten of The Tree, 

For Adam knew not the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the difference between. 

Remember, God had given Adam free will, 

The freedom to follow His Word or not, 

The freedom to make the choice to either eat of it or not. 

When he made the choice to eat of that Tree, 

He committed a sin, and that sin was disobeying God's Word. 

By this sin, he caused sin to be within him 

And by his presence also within the Garden of Eden!

God had to shed the innocent blood of an animal, to cover Adam's sin, 

For it would only cover it, it would never remove it. 

God drove man from the Garden of Eden and His presence. 

For sin is sin, no matter which one, my friend. 

Remember, you bear the sins you commit by the choices you make from within. 

By Adam's fall, sin entered into all his surroundings, 

God had to shed innocent blood to cover sin, 

It did not remove it, 

Only the Shed Blood of Jesus Christ the perfect Lamb of God, 

By crucifixion upon the Cross of Calvary, 

Could and would remove the sins of all forever, then forgiven and forgotten. 

For those who make the Free Will choice, 

To believe, accept, and follow by faith, to be one within Jesus Christ,

By God‘s loving Grace, eternity within Christ now awaits. 

To die in sin is a living death that has no ending,

An eternity of remembering and knowing, 

That one’s free will choice caused such and unending ending. 

It alone would be unbearable and a torment unending to remember for an eternity. 

To be removed from God the Creator's presence forever. 

Have you ever wondered, what Adam felt that day outside the Garden

 Looking back at God? 

O' the loneliness felt within when we make the choice to sin. 

Lord, build me within You so I can lead another Your Way today,
