Sermon from February 10

Paradise Lost

Genesis 3: 8 - 24

1. You were created to live in paradise. God loves you and wants you to be completely happy.
2. If God hadn’t given us the choice to sin, we would be his puppets, or pets.
3. Love is only real if it is given freely. God had to give us the choice so our love would be real.
4. The price we pay is living in a cursed world.
5. But we can regain paradise by humbling ourselves and, by faith, accepting God’s grace. Ephesians 2: 8, 9
6. The Bible shows us how to get back to the Garden. Revelation 22:2 - 3
