The chief limitation God puts on man is the choice man will make whether or
not to do the will of God
Scripture: Genesis 2:8-9
In verses 8 and 9 we find the Scripture says, “The Lord God planted a garden eastward in
Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God
made every tree grow that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was also
in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” In the creation,
we have to ask ourselves, even though God gives man co-creative ability does He put limits
on the freedom of that ability? The answer if not obvious should be. He puts limits on that
freedom in various ways. The chief limitation is the choice man will make whether or not to
do the will of God. Is it just as much a choice today, whether we do God’s will as it was for
Adam and Eve? Perhaps the consequences are not as great on a worldwide scale, but our
obedience or disobedience has consequences just like theirs did. What do we believe about
our relationship with God and the covenant?
Prayer –
Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will,
O, God.
Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin
thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he
may establish the second. By the which will, we are sanctified through the offering
of the body of Jesus Christ once and for all.
And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same
sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one
sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;
From henceforth expecting till his enemies are made his footstool.
For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified.
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the
Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write
them;put my laws into
their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
