The consequences of Adam's sin would not have occurred if the first couple had not eaten of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam knew that he would be punished for it (Genesis 2:17). It was the conscious sin by which death entered the world and reigned for more than two thousand years. Because of this mistake, the good virtues were abandoned, and man became involved with everything that was bad, paying a terrible price that grew higher and higher.

          The time for God's visit had come. The Lord strolled through the garden at nightfall as usual, to have communion with His image and likeness, but the couple remained hidden. Instead of repenting, Adam and Eve chose to go away from God. Many people are oppressed by the same devil who makes them hide from the Truth. Great folly! There's nothing better than confessing to change.

          Adam and Eve forgot that the Creator could forgive them, initiating the plan to return them to His presence. How many are possessed by evil spirits who wish them to end? These people don't try to leave this prison with dignity, and every day they sink into perdition. No one can free themselves from the forces of darkness unless they repent and confess their sins. God is patient and good!

          The man who gave all of God's creation its name acted childishly after sinning. Did he imagine that it was possible to hide from the omniscient God? The Lord showed Himself to be the same when He went to meet Adam and Eve. He wanted to talk to the couple, instruct them in the way they should go and guide them with His eyes (Psalm 32:8). No one can hide from the Most High!

           The Father wants to visit you, forgive your transgressions and restore your life in every way, so open your heart to the One who is present in every part of the universe at the same time. The Lord's visit is full of love, to give the teaching that will bring you into His presence and heal you of the disease of sin. It has left its mark, which will only be erased by repentance and confession. This action will lead You back home!

           Face your mistake head on, because the devil is responsible for it. Speak the truth to God, asking Him to forgive you and change your heart. Those who trust in the Lord reveal themselves to Him, because they know that it's better to “turn yellow” for half an hour and get rid of evil than to “turn red” forever. The evil one tempts a person, then befriends them, asking them to hide among the trees. The enemy wants your end, but don't allow it. React with the Word!

           Jesus wants to solve the dilemma of your estrangement from God. Without Him, no one can stand. Imagine what awaits you in eternity if you don't repent and return to the blessed arms of the Lord? Start your journey towards the Kingdom of Heaven now. Your heavenly Father is waiting for your decision!

           In Christ, with love,
