Title: God's Provision
Contents
▒▒▒ Genesis 1:25~31
Sin is 'hamartia' in Greek. Meaning to go off target depart from the path of truth. However, there is a problem with the fact that sin is not just the fault of one person who deviated from the target. For example, if someone gets into a car accident on the highway, it affects not only the person in the accident, but also the person watching it. The sin of Adam and Eve brought all mankind under the influence of sin. Death came as a result of sin, and that death came upon all men. That's why the Apostle Paul says in Romans 3:12, "There is none righteous, not even one." In Joshua 7, Achan stole gold, silver, and the coat of Shinar. As a result, Achan alone did not end up being punished. Israel failed to capture the city of Ai, and 36 soldiers were killed. The effect of Achan's transgression was to befall all of Israel. That is why the Apostle Paul said that sin is like a virus.
Adam and Eve ran away to live their own way, and now their faults are starting to show. So they made clothes from fig leaves to cover themselves. God made and clothed them with leather garments. For Cain who killed his brother Abel, God made a mark so that no one would kill him. In a land where sin is rampant, God blessed Noah's family to be fruitful and prosperous, and he said that he would never again judge this world with water.
No one can leave God because God has given us life. Therefore, we must obey God's Word and live in God's provision, freeing ourselves from the sin that God hates. May these blessings be with you.
