It always has been and always will be about a trusting relationship with God.<BR/><BR/>I like the notion of already having eaten of the tree of life. Got to meditate on that for a while, and see what God will show me.SLWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260137021205685080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10905506.post-422172915803702562008-10-11T13:56:00.000-04:002008-10-11T13:56:00.000-04:00I loved this post.............!!! oh and HAPPY BIR...I loved this post.............!!! <BR/><BR/>oh and HAPPY BIRTHDAY...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01495924200222561417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10905506.post-6801354883531982512008-10-10T20:42:00.000-04:002008-10-10T20:42:00.000-04:00Indeed.

Adam's unblemished sinless nature was just waiting for the one sin that would cast it down - whereas our new nature is impervious to sin; sin is no longer a stumbling block to those who are the living body of Christ on earth. <BR/><BR/>Innocence ≠ bliss. <BR/><BR/><I>Redemption</I> = bliss.dogimohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01278980067086209626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10905506.post-61734182201018334622008-10-10T14:49:00.000-04:002008-10-10T14:49:00.000-04:00Alan, sometimes since coming into revelation of gr...Alan, sometimes since coming into revelation of grace, I feel that there is so much more revelation swirling around me! I just get dazzled at times, wondering which one to grab onto and examine...it's very exciting! So true what you said about truth hiding here, I feel I've only just begun to understand a small part of what I was trying to say. <BR/><BR/>And how amazing will an eternity of ever discovering more and more precious living truths be? <BR/><BR/><BR/>Jamie, you're right! I used to think we had been restored, and in a sense there is some restoration in regards to the type of relationship we have with God (like Adam before the fall, there is no sin to interrupt our fellowship), but truly we have entered into a whole new realm as humans because of Jesus. Like Job, his 'restoration' far exceeded his original state!julhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15688008902332240637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10905506.post-30841045564102553592008-10-10T14:22:00.000-04:002008-10-10T14:22:00.000-04:00Good one, Julie.This is a discussion we have had w...Good one, Julie.<BR/><BR/>This is a discussion we have had with friends. Many people say we have been restored to Adam's position in the garden. Not true; we have become the garden with Christ as the "husbandman." Much better to be kept, than to do the keeping of one's self. Thus the inherent flaw in preaching law; we cannot and were not meant to "keep it", except in Christ who fulfilled it.Jamiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16376340819465748862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10905506.post-59499698879413678882008-10-10T11:25:00.000-04:002008-10-10T11:25:00.000-04:00Shalom Julie, Amen!A lot of wonderful truth is hid...Shalom Julie, <BR/><BR/>Amen!<BR/><BR/>A lot of wonderful truth is hiding in this post waiting for us to discover. <BR/><BR/>In your light, I see light...
