7.5.23
Looking back to the Garden of Eden, we can reminisce Genesis 1:27; how Adam and Eve could eat every herb and fruit. As noted that God gave men to eat of all the plants available, it was made clear that our original condition was to eat of the fruits and herbs of the earth. Hence, this can be coined it as the “pre-lapse” diet before the Fall; solidifying why we fast to begin with!
With this point discovered, the notion of the glorious resurrection is crucial to understand. Mainly because we have the image and likeness of God. Such a statement helps us understand how humanity’s image and likeness in Christ, is innate.
This practical concept should motivate us to manifest:
1. unconditional love
2. knowledge
3. holiness - to carry the presence of God
4. authority
5. life for eternity
I’m closing , drawing from Genesis 3:1-20, we can make connections on how this event mirrors the distorted modern world we live in. Now as God came to unify, sanctify and resurrect; we should remember that His intention was to make us into a new creation. Furthermore, the church sacraments of Baptism, Eucharist, Confession remind us of becoming a new creation. Particularly, the sacrament of Eucharist, reminds us of the glorious resurrection that happens for us- 'til Kingdom come.
