Did Eve Love God? Part 1

Did Eve Love God –Enough to overcome?

Or, perhaps better said, did she believe God loved her –Enough to Trust God & Obey?  Why did Adam and Eve make that horrible choice –and how can we learn from this drastic mistake, so that we can choose life and blessings?  I don’t believe that we are really that different than Adam and Eve, but we do have a greater gift of understanding than they did –we have the Bible (their history to learn from & we have God’s gift of the Holy Spirit to guide us in the truth) …

We have Jesus –But we must still seek the Truth from God in Christ to walk that straight and narrow blessed life!

Learning from history and living at the foot of the Cross …

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (Matthew 6:24).”

I am sure many will say that Adam and Eve loved and respected God most of the time, but when they were tempted with more, did they really love God –according to the LOVE God first loved them –With all their heart, soul, mind, strength?

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.”  –with the same love that God had first showed us!

Mark 12:30 & 1 John 4:19

What about us in this Today –in this wonderfully Created day that God has called Today, as long as it is Today –Do we love God?  Or, do we love the idea of God and pursue the things in this world more than we pursue God?

What was Eve pursuing –what was Adam?  Were they seeking / pursuing Peace with God in His pureness and goodness –or were they pursuing selfish ambition?

 

Learning to live in Peace with God from Adam and Eve’s disobedience (sin) (lack of faith) (misplaced love and attention)…God’s Word also, commands us to do something –live FREE in Jesus (the TRUTH) and resist temptation (the manipulated & deceptive version of the facts), by loving God with all that we are!

Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it (Psalm 34:14) –Just as God warned Adam and Eve, God warns us Today too … For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice (James 3:16).

We are CALLED TO TRUST GOD –and we are enabled to trust God when we first KNOW His love for us!  Do you believe John 3:16?  Do you know that John 3:17 is also the truth?  Do you know that God hand designed you? –just as he made Adam and Eve!

I encourage you to pick up God’s Word Today and read to learn and understand just how patient and kind God is to us each and every day!  God loves us and He simply wants us to get to know Him and His character –a part of falling in love with who God IS … enough to trust and obey!

You (we) are wonderfully and fearfully made by God for a purpose!  God wanted children to love –and God loves you!  Yet, God in His love wants you to love Him because you love HIM –not because you have to –God wants the real deal from you!  God wants you to love HIM, because He first loved you.  Then we can trust God with all our heart, soul, mind, strength!

We are equipped in Jesus Christ to live free in God’s grace by the power of the Holy Spirit –if we will only choose to succeed to God’s divine plan and let go of our self and let God do His miraculous work!  God is pure love and peace with Wisdom to guide us along our path in the way of Jesus Christ!

 

I hope this was a blessing to you in your Created Today!

Love in Christ,

Meet Karen: Hi, I am blessed, by God's good grace and because I know Jesus, I am blessed. I choose to be blessed, because I have a choice set before me and I refuse to look down. I trust God and I know and believe in the love God has for us. I have overcome difficulties; and I am blessed by the grace of God alone. If I have written about it, then I have felt the pain of it in some way, and to some degree. Did you know that Jesus has felt your pain? This is why I write. By God's grace I can identify; and tell you honestly, yes there is hope in anything and everything that you are facing today! Jesus is our Hope! He is the Truth, the Way and the Life. I am married a wonderful man, Robert Rowe; I love my husband and he loves me; and we have been married for 28 years. Together, we have been blessed with a wonderful daughter, named Amanda who is college now; and a wonderful son, named Daniel who is growing up well and soon to graduate elementary school. We work together and by God's grace we run our own business called PSI. We have a pastor over our ministry and over our business and also we depend on him for advise in our family. We have 2 dogs, 4 horses, 2 cats and love to spend time outdoors by the water and by campfires ... that is it seems when we can find time away from life's busy schedule. I love to write because it helps me learn more about God. And, I am driven by a passion from a love that God has put in my heart to share from my experiences and struggles, as I gain understanding in God’s Word to know how effective and powerful God is over our every situation! I share with you so you can know that you are not alone in your struggles. The same God who helps me and my family, is your help and shield as well! Life is not always easy, but it is possible –I like to share the difference that following Jesus makes in my life. And, I love to share God's patience and mercy and love that is with me! I am not perfect, but am experiencing God sanctify me through and through with every mistake I make; and yes, overcome in Christ! Life is not just about the successes; life on this earth is also about the troubles we overcome to discover what God has hidden in our faith to find! Troubles are more a challenge to grow in our faith ... It is not easy, but in the end the grace of God we discover is worth experiencing God in the midst. By Grace, I have discovered Jesus is Peace and He is my Joy and Wisdom from Heaven. God is our Provider and Healer and Creator, who is our help and shield over all things. By grace, I have experienced a nearness to God through my faith in His Son! We are well forgiven by God; and well blessed when we know and believe the love that God has for us. To say, "all is well with my soul" is a powerful knowledge to understand and experience. I sense God's desire for you to know His love for you and how deep His love for you is that He has SO loved you; God gave you His Son. God loves you right now just as you are! There is so much to learn! I believe that as we learn from God, we are God’s gift to each other. It is all God’s story –and for His glory; and God has SO loved us. I love to paint the vision that God has given me about a Father’s love –that God wants you to dream again and visualize His love for you! In God’s eyes, there’s more to life than we see; and in a world that sometimes misrepresents and misunderstands God and love; God wants you to have the courage to dream His dream and see His vision of a Father’s love for you! Many years ago, I prayed to God, “How can I tell a million people what I know about Your Son?” God showed me I had a gift of a ministry about God's Love; and He called it Hope in Today! I write to please God and I write to encourage you; and I write to spend quiet time with God. All because of this love that God has first shown me! I need Jesus –and my life is about my relationship with God. And, every blessing begins with Him! Love in Christ, Karen Rowe, Director Hope in Today Ministries, Inc.
