"Think Again!!"
[6] When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. [7] Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves. [8] Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. [9] But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” [10] He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.” [11] And God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
Genesis 3:6-11 NIV
Beloved,
There isn't anything wrong with what you want to do...It just hasn't been GOD APPROVED.
So, The question is:
Are you willing to take a chance on something GOD NEVER APPROVED OF, just because it looks good, just because you know there isn't anything technically wrong with what you want to do?
When Eve saw that fruit was good, saw there wasn't anything wrong with it....That's exactly what she did. She went for it, she took a chance and ate what looked good to her and she even went so far as to give some to her husband, and he ate it. He wasn't deceived (Read:
1 Tim 2:14 KJV), but because he loved his wife....HE KNEW BETTER and yet he sinned.
If you're thinking about doing something because it looks good to you or you're thinking about doing something because you love that person....THINK AGAIN!!
[23] “I have the right to do anything,” you say—but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”—but not everything is constructive.
1 Corinthians 10:23 NIV
So, Think Again!!
Going for what looked good or doing it because of love COST BOTH Adam & Eve dearly:
👉They went from being comfortable in their own skin to being fearful.
👉They went from trusting God to trying to hide their sin from God.
👉They went from being supernaturally clothed in grace to being naked (exposed) and in need of God's mercy.
All because what they did was not GOD APPROVED....
Think Again!! Is it really worth the risk?
Until Next Sunday.
