John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The Cause: What caused Jesus to die on the cross?
The Process: From judgement hall to Calvary's cross.
The Effect: To release me from the accursed race...He was the last Adam!


Genesis 3:6-8 Adam presumed on God's love and lost it.

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.
And they heard the voice 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 amongst the trees of the garden.


Genesis 1:25-31 The creation of man added "very" to all the good things God had made. They were the glory of the Garden of Eden. They were God's friends, His ambassadors on earth.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth....
31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.


Genesis 2 God provided all the provisions they needed in order to function in His glory. Accommodation, food and drink, covering (His glory), spouse, inspiration, authority, etc... They were to grow more and more into the fullness of what God intended for them.


  • Thank God for His original plan for man. We are sorry it was truncated by man.
  • Thank God for sending Jesus to restore us to the original plan and much more. The new earth will be better and more glorious than Eden.
  • Thank God for all the provision He has made for us to function in that restoration.   
  • Lord, please show me Your new and living way and let me walk in it. Don't let me presume on Your goodness in this restoration plan.  

Genesis 3:1-14 Adam truncated God's plan. They lost it. Sin came in with its stains.




Genesis 3:15 God's restoration plan announced.

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Romans 3:23; Galatians 5:19-21; Revelation 22:11 From then on, the devil began to fester in the hearts and lives of mankind. He introduced sinful habits and bombarded the souls of men. He passed sin on. Also, from then on, God began to mobilise men in order to send the SEED of the woman.
  • Jesus came to remove sin from inside man and to wash him clean from its stains. Deliver me from the bondage of sin and set me free from all its consequences.
  • Enlist me among those You are mobilising to receive Your Son who is coming soon.
  • Lord, please begin Your work from my heart. I have no other plea except that Jesus died for me. Work on my life from inside out.

JUST AS I AM

1. Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

2. Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot,
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

3. Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt,
Fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

4. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

5. Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

6. Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.


7. Just as I am, of that free love
The breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
Here for a season, then above,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
