"You Certainly Won't Die"

Genesis 3: 4,5 (GWT)“You certainly won’t die!” the snake told the woman. “God knows that when you eat it your eyes will be opened. You’ll be like God, knowing good and evil.”

It is easy for me to sit here reading the sequence of events, as if reading a novel, and suggest what I am about to type.  However know in advance that I understand I didn't have to go through the experience as Eve did.  Because her life and many others God has afforded us wisdom.  Peter said it this way in 2 Peter chapter 3:
You therefore,beloved, knowing this beforehand,be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness, but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.
Satan in his cunning way was putting doubt in Eves mind.  That's why we cannot veer to the left of to the right of what God says.  What He says is truth.  What God tells us is the end result.  He gives us many warnings along the way.   He is simply trying to say.....this is your destination.  You might not get there today, or tomorrow however I am a God.  I have set before you life and death, you choose your final outcome. 

I pray that we open the gift of strength, wisdom, discernment and courage and that we ask Him to show us how His Love employs those characteristics to walk among those He puts in our path, in our life, to live with for eternity. Let's start or forever today.....His way; which is The Way of Life.  Selah....

With the Love of our Christ,
Candace
