But God is Seeking Us!

​I have not posted in a while because I have been working on Jeanette’s Birthday Present.  She wanted a porch on the front of our house.  We’ve had houses in the past with front porches and enjoyed them.  We now have another one.  So, now let me finish the thread of thought I started. 
 
In a perfect world we wouldn’t have to deal with failure, right?  Well, apparently, we still would because we had a perfect world and Adam still chose to break faith with God.  That was the risk God took by creating Adam in His own image.  The freedom to make choices means having the freedom to make bad choices.  The Creator knew that and being the sovereign and omnipotent God that He is, He took final responsibility for Adam’s bad choice.  In Genesis 3:15 God informed Satan, the one behind the temptation of Eve, that He (God) would provide a solution to the problem of sin and death.   
 
“And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”  Genesis 3:15.  He promised to send a redeemer to restore what was lost. 
 
While there is not a lot of detail in that statement, the Lord did flesh out the plan in the rest of the Biblical revelation.  We find out in Genesis 3:21 that God conducted the first substitutionary sacrifice for sin that same day.  In Genesis 4 it is revealed He also provided them with a detailed order of worship based on animal sacrifice.  Later in Genesis we read about the Lord calling Abram who later became Abraham the father of nations.  Then Jacob who became the father of Israel.  All of that to ensure we would be able to locate and recognize the promised redeemer. 
 
While so many religions are focused on seeking a god they can understand or even control.  None are seeking the God Who Is.  But He has been seeking us.  Through Jesus Christ He removed our guilt and liability for sin.  He now offers a free exchange of life everlasting for simply believing He is and He rewards those who seek Him and not another.
