DISOBEDIENCE
15). We then as workers with Him beseech you that you do not receive the Grace in vain.
16). Changing deliberately from what we know that God says, and doing something else, is an everlasting disobedience in His sight.
17). This fact is barely known by anyone who presently disregards what God says in His words.
18). The natural eyes we have, do not see God physically, because He is completely a Spirit.
19). Therefore He inspired some chosen holy men of His choice, and dictated His words to them from His own voice according to His heart.
20). He did so, because of His merciful kindness in His love, to help us the natural offsprings of the first Adam, to avoid the footsteps of disobedience laid down by him.
21). The reason why we were born to meet natural death on earth, was as a result of the act of disobedience of the first predecessor, Adam, against the word of the LORD.
22). This consequential shenanigan happened over seven thousand years ago: and still remains proactive for ever.
23). Some may even query why Enoch did not die naturally as others, but rather walked with the LORD and He took him away without physical death.
24). The answer could be that most probably, the LORD might have allowed that to show all mankind that Enoch had lived in the required righteousness beyond the first Adam who brought death.
25). More so, the LORD might’ve done that to prove that He never willed that human beings should have been dying if they had lived up to Enoch’s attainment.
26). That also goes to confirm that the LORD’s unchangeable purpose towards mankind, remains in His mind.
27). Everyone who lived on this earth planet was due for eternal death, because of the corrupt nature of disobedience in mankind.
28). God, in His infinite loving kindness, therefore provided a perfect remedy for men to escape from the eternal death besides the natural irremediable death.
29). It is possible one may ask why God would not make the natural death remediable?
30). The reason was, because the forbidden fruit which was the fruit Adam ate to disobey the commandment of God was physical and man was also physical.
31). Because man ate the forbidden which was tied up to death into his physical body, then death entered into man and condemned the body to death.
32). Therefore every man and every living creature formed out of the dust of the ground was poisoned with death, for the wages of sin is death.
33). All have sinned and come short of the glory of God, meaning that all flesh have died while existing on earth Romans 3:23.
34). The natural death affected every living creature, because they were all formed out the same dust of the ground as Adam, and were handed to him for adoption.
35). By the legal law of adoption they have right of inheritance with man of the dust of the ground.
36). Take your eyes away from the distant days of Adam to this present days of our time, because the sinful activities are rapidly growing on daily basis beyond Adam’s disobedience.
37). Do the living creatures not freely associate themselves with mankind today?
38). Do creatures such as dogs, cats, rats, cockroaches, mosquitoes, pigs, pigeons, dolphin in the sea, cows, lizards, serpents and many more unnamed others, not associate with humans; and some live freely with them in the same house?
39). Most of them are named and called by their adopted owners, and they know and respond to their names.
40). Even the wild animals such as from lions to foxes and many others have been tamed by men.
41). The same also was the case of Noah whom the LORD commanded to build an ark to accommodate both him and all living creatures of the earth.
42). Noah, eight members of his family, and all the living creatures of the earth lived in the same ark for one hundred and fifty days in the midst of the deluge, very safely.
OBEDIENCE
43). Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
44). Vs.2. By whom also we have access by faith into this grace, wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
45). Vs.8. But God has commended His love towards us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
This lesson shall continue later by the Grace of Christ.
