Title: Snake's Tricks and Human Responsibility!
After God created all things, He allowed humans to rule over them. Among all things, there was a tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and He said that on the day that humans ate of its fruit, they would die. But long before humans were created, there was one who ruled and ruled this world, and that is the devil who was cast out of heaven. As the king of this world, the devil is the king of all creation. He was originally supposed to belong to the spirit world where God resides, but he was cast out of heaven after leaving his place and trying to gain equality with God. It is truly a great disgrace for a spiritual being to enter and live in the created world inhabited by all things.
As if in retaliation, God combed the first humans, Adam and Eve, with dust and made them live in the Garden of Eden. It is recommended to eat the fruits that are present. Eve, who was instantly moved by the serpent's sweet whisper, said, "What are you talking about? When God asked the question, "You must not eat or touch the fruit that is in the garden, in the day that you eat it, you will surely die." God forbids you to eat it, because on the day you eat it, your eyes will be opened, and you too will become like God and reach the level of knowing good and evil. In the end, Eve could not overcome the questions swirling in her heart, and in the end, she ignored God's word and ate the fruit in the center according to the serpent's words.
However, for some reason, Eve did not die after eating the fruit. According to God's word, Eve must have died. However, Eve did not die and was still alive. For Eve, the word of God had become a lie, and the word of the serpent became true. Eve could no longer believe the word of God. And he could no longer live under the control of God, who was no longer reliable, and oppressed by the Word. Above all, she had solid evidence, so she confidently picked the fruit in the center and gave it to her husband to eat. Seeing that her husband did not die even after eating the fruit in the middle of the garden, there was no more doubt about her.
Then, how could they live without dying after eating the fruit in the center? Could it be that God deliberately lied to them to prevent them from discerning good and evil, as the serpent said? In fact, this question itself is a foolish question, but in the hopes that even one Wang-Ji Lee will know it properly, God never lies to humans. The fact that they did not die after eating the fruit was actually that they were alive only in the body, and in spirit they already belonged to the dead, not the living. For those who do not know this fact, as soon as they eat the fruit, the human spirit dies due to the sin of disobeying the Word and darkness begins to dominate them. it was done
But they too later find out that they are wrong: they have covered their secret parts with fig leaves. Even before sin came into them, they had nothing to fear. However, the fact that they felt shame for their naked body after eating the fruit proves this. The serpent puts it around that it has opened his eyes and made him feel such shame, but where there is no sin there is no such thing as shame for humans. For those who live in sin today, this explanation may not be easy to understand. But when you are born again of the Spirit of Christ, you will know what these words mean!
The reason we are being trained every day through this pulpit is to prevent the devil from using us any more, “No matter how unjust or outrageous things happen to us, rather than getting excited by shifting the blame to the other person first, we should look down on ourselves first. What is my fault? Where did I go wrong? Looking at it is one of the ways the devil excites me so I can't use it.”
And when my mistake is not easily recognized, I will have to seek help from the pulpit where the Lord is without delay. No human being, in which darkness reigns, can realize his own fault. The way that human beings can realize their faults and right and wrong is only possible when they receive the light of the Lord. The Lord came as the light. He does not call it light when he combines worldly virtues and knowledge to make people cry and cry. The Lord's true light shines on the hearts of men individually, so that they can find darkness in their hearts and lead them to repentance. Those who have realized even a little bit of their right or wrong or their own wrong (sin) through this pulpit will be able to understand what this word means.
