Genesis 2:17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.

God gives us instructions and with those instruction gives us consequences if we disobey them; He continues to uphold those instructions and those consequences no matter what we think!

When God gave this instruction to Adam it was not a story but a promise of what was going to happen. The serpent came along and persuaded Eve through temptation to ignore the consequences.

It was Adam and Eve who had to face the consequences of disobeying God because He gave that instruction to them.

Psalm 105:15 Saying, “Do not touch My anointed ones, and do My prophets no harm.”

When God makes promises we can be sure that He is going to keep them. We already have thousands of years of proof as we look back on the results of those promises kept.

We can study the promises as told to the people by the prophets and then see the results as told by those who followed on, written down and told by different people.

Our bibles are full of these truths so that we can be strengthened in the knowledge that God is looking after us here and now as well! This is not just a history lesson but a book of promises told, kept and still to come…

Matthew 18:3 and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.

When we look deeper into passages like this by finding out what the original Greek text says we find so much more than what our English words can express.

We need to turn our backs on seeking the worldly grandeur and outward experiences of this world and go back to looking at what God has given us just as children would.

Children humbly accept what is given in faith and trust not concerning themselves with the grandeur but with the simpler things that mean more.

Seeking God? Well actually seek Him!
