God Came Near, BRINGING TO BE ALL THAT IS. []
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
These are the records of the heavens and the earth, concerning their creation. At the time that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was made from things that are not visible.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For everything was created by him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and by him all things hold together.
Humanity Hid, HAVING REBELLED AGAINST GOD. []
Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’?”
Gen 3
The woman saw that the tree was good for food and delightful to look at, and that it was desirable for obtaining wisdom. So she took some of its fruit and ate it; she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
And he said, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked, so I hid.”
Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all people, because all sinned.
God Promised THE REMEDY FOR OUR REBELLION. []
So the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than any livestock and more than any wild animal. You will move on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.
She will give birth to a son, and you are to name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Here is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved.”
So the Lord God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than any livestock and more than any wild animal. You will move on your belly and eat dust all the days of your life. I will put hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you will strike his heel.
