Disconnected From God! Conclusion

(for part 1 see 2/5/24)

By virtue of our beginning, we are the creation of God. Created to walk in communion with our creator and thereby have access to Him who is all-sufficient in all things. Through faith in Him, we are sanctified (set apart from the world) Heb. 10:10, “By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.” Through faith in Christ we are regenerated (restored to a sinless state) Titus 3:5, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;” And through the saving grace of the cross we are justified (just as if we never sinned) Eph. 2:16, “Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ,..” Therefore, we can conclude that through Jesus' sacrifice, we are restored to the relationship God had with man before the fall.

Why is that so important? The blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ reconnected us to God. When we confess our sin and believe that by His sacrifice He will forgive our sin, we are reconnected to God through Christ. Consequently, God wants to walk with us in an intimate relationship in the same sense that He walked with Adam in the garden before man’s disobedience. We can walk in renewed fellowship with sin forgiven and renewed status in the family of God.

God’s intention is that His Holy Spirit be our counselor, comfort, rock, strong tower, mighty fortress, deliverer, provider, healer, and everything else we need. “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus,” Phil. 4:19.

I want to note two very important factors in the relationship between God and Adam. 1)There was continued communication between them. 2)Obedience to God's instructions was absolute. When these two principles are observed, our spiritual and physical man are perfectly joined together. There is no disconnect between God and a born-again believer and follower of Jesus Christ!
