Man had sinned and done what God had warned them not to do, … going against His will and messing with evil. When God, as was His habit, came to visit man, He asked a question that seemed out of character, And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden. Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" --- Gen. 3:8-9 Did God really NOT know where they were? Was God just honouring their dominion on earth He Himself gave them? Or… Was God trying to bring something to their attention or to their understanding? ************** The facts are that … God knew exactly where they were, … but it seemed that they did not! God could not dishonour their dominion, … they had already shown their lack of responsibility! No… What God wanted to do was to, .... tell them what they had really done, and … what the result of their actions were! |
God is a good God, … who wants to bless man in everyway possible, … who also said to Abraham, I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. --- Gen. 12:3 Looking at Abraham’s life, … we can see that God not only said that, … but He also meant it! Now Abraham had two grandsons by his son Isaac, … Jacob and Esau. And considering His promise to Abraham, … God made the following odd, … even disturbing statement about Abraham’s grandsons, As it is written, "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated." --- Rom. 9:13 Why did God say that? Did He really mean it? Surely not … In fact it seems rather out of character for God to have said that of Esau! |
