The God that Saves

John 3:16 speaks volumes about the love of God.  "For God so loved the world".  It does not say He loves wordlyness.  It says He loves the world.  Remember, the physical world was created by God.  He spoke it into existence.  Then He made man to fellowship with Him.  Then came sin.

How did sin enter the world?  The serpent spoke to Eve words God did not say.  She at on the word spoken by the serpent.  Remember, God spoke to Adam.  God gave Adam instruction, not Eve.  While there is always emphasis on Eve being the word that was misled, at least it was because she did not know what God had told Adam.  Some may say Adam surely passed the word of God along to Eve.  Scriptures do not speak to this.  A few things can be learned from this.

When God gives His word, tell others what God said.  Do not leave it up to the man or woman to try and figure out what is right and what is wrong.  God's word lets it be known what is right and what is wrong.

Secondly, do not listen to everybody.  In the book of Jeremiah 3:15 it says, 'And I will give you Pastors according to my heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding."  God called pastors tell the people what God says.

Thirdly, everyone that professes to be saved should always ask themselves, 'do I know and hear the voice of God?  Do I listen to the word of God and seek to obey what it says?  Do I allow others to speak things to me that are not scripturally sound?

Every since there has been a church, the woman has been put down and treated like a second class believer.  When the focus should be whether or not Eve knew what God had said.  She repeated what she was told in Genesis 3:2,3.  But it was Adam that heard it first hand from God (Genesis 2:16,17).  Eve had not been created yet.

Matthew 6:33 says, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."

For God so loved the world.  The includes you.  Pay attention to what you hear concerning the Lord and who you hear it from.  Your soul depends on it.
