More Thoughts on Adam and Eve

Adam and Eve were clothed with the glory but it was not in them as they had not eaten of the tree of life.

 

They needed a covering after the fall so the LORD gave them skins’ to cover their nakedness.

This was a picture of the LAMB that was slain for them before the foundation—-Rev. 13:8

 

We also see that Adam didn’t know the LORD as Father, never called HIM Father.

Lu 3:38 the son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God.

 

In the gospels 55 times Jesus speaks of HIS Father and about 30 times Jesus refers to the One Who sent ME, so at least 85 times Jesus refers to HIS Father.

 

I believe that Adam didn’t understand or know that the LORD GOD was his Father and this is the main reason he failed in the garden or why he sinned and missed the mark that was intended.

He did not fellowship with the LORD every evening in the cool of the day as he could have. Gen. 3:8.

 

We have been told that the LORD came every evening but that is not what the scripture says. It is one of those things that have been said by men but the scripture doesn’t say it.

 

Would the LORD have fellowshipped with Adam every day? Yes, but the precept is as follows; Jas 4:8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

 

Would it not have been the same for Adam?

 

Because Adam did not know who he was, did not know what he possessed and did not know what he could do in the relationship with the LORD he was destroyed and lost the dominion and the glory that he had been given by God his Father.

 

Had he fellowshipped with the LORD I believe he could have found out the above things that he did not know!

 

What you don’t know will hurt you and keep you from possessing what is intended to be yours.

 

Pr 2:1 ¶ My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;

 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures;

 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.

 6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.

 

Pr 4:20 ¶ My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.

 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.

 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.

 

These truths have always been so. It would seem “if” Adam had fellowshipped with the LORD every day he would have gained the “fear of the LORD, understanding, knowledge and the life that comes from the Word?

 

At least it seems this way to me, what do you think?
