Christ Is the Solution to the Event of Genesis 3

Genesis 3:15 / "And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel."

Hymn #250 Down at the Cross Where My Savior Died (Unified Hymn 182)

All problems began with the event of Genesis 3. Man who was supposed to be with God left Him and was seized by Satan. This Satan, who existed before Adam and Eve, led the event of the Garden of Eden incident, the Nephilim event, and the event of the Tower of Babel. In addition, he has taken over culture and created the movements related to shamanism; divination; and shrines. In the end, those movements are trying to destroy people by subjecting them to "The 6 States of the Unbeliever." To accomplish that, Satan deceives people through the transcendental meditation movement; demon-possession movement; and chi movement. As proof that people are being deceived, they blame their ancestors or the church for their downfall. God sent Christ to save you from here and gave you the status and authority to become His child, (John 1:12) He has appointed you as an ambassador of Christ.

1. Original Man, the Cause of All Problems, and the Result
The state of original man is to restore the cultural sphere by having "Oneness" with God and restoring culture was the state of original man, (Genesis 1:27-28) However, that state was destroyed because of the event of Genesis 3. (Genesis 3:4~5) As a result, man left God; death soon followed; (Romans 3:23 & 6:23) and no one was found to be righteous, (Romans 3:10) Since then, man has struggled to meet God through religion; good deeds; and philosophy, but it has become more difficult.

2. Christ Who Resolved the Event of Genesis 3
As soon as the event of Genesis 3 occurred, God promised that He would immediately send Christ. (Genesis 3:15) He said that by entering Christ, you'd live. (Genesis 6:14) Although this promise was fulfilled during the age of Rome, this answer has existed from long ages past and will remain until the end, (Romans 5:8)

3. The Method of Salvation and That Evidence
If you believe in and accept Christ, you'll become a child of God, (John 1:12, 5:24, &b Romans 8:2) As evidence of that, the Holy Spirit dwells in you; (1 Corinthians 3:16) helps you realize; guides you; and gives you true peace, (John 14:26-27)

Starting now, you must know; enjoy; and relay *Christ, the covenant of Calvary; the prayer of the Mt. of Olives; the answers of Mark's upper room; and the evangelism and missions' time schedule of the Church at Antioch.

*Christ = Christ from Long Ages Past, Incarnate Christ, the Resurrected Christ, and Christ Who's the Lord of the Second Coming and Lord of Judgment

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may today become the Lord's Day. May it be the day when the Lord's power comes upon me. In Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
