God's New Creation Of Humanity

 Each day of creation added more color and beauty into God's perfect design, until our almighty Creator finally took some dust of the earth, and made man. He formed and fashioned it into the image and likeness of Himself. No surprise that God was satisfied with the work of His hand, and declared everything He had made was very good.
 Man was created innocent, faultless, and without a sin-nature to prompt him towards evil, and the Lord God took the man and put him into the garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it. He was placed in the most lavish of surroundings, and provided with all that he could desire with one simple call to obedience, you shall not eat of that tree. But Adam failed! Adam disobeyed the Lord, plunging the human race into eternal condemnation instead of enjoying eternal rest. Adam's transgression put up a barrier between himself and the Lord.
 Just as all who are born into this world are Adam's sinful progeny, and identified with Adam's sin so all who are born-again, by faith in Christ, become part of God's New Creation Of Humanity and are identified with Christ's, perfect righteousness. All who are saved by grace through faith in Him, receive His life and are given rest for their soul, Christ is our Tree of Life, and that life is eternal.
The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what amazing grace that Jesus would choose to come to earth to die on our account, so that we no longer remain under condemnation as sinners, but are identified with Him and clothed in His righteousness. Thank You that You did not leave us in eternal condemnation, through Adam's sin, but purposed to redeem us with Christ's precious blood. We pray that we may live in willing obedience and thankful submission to Your leading and guidance, and thank You that in Christ we have eternal life, and will one day eat of the Tree of Life. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
