God is omniscient, Heknew before hand that

Adam will fail to walk inHis standard, however

LOVE compelled Him tomake him in His imagewith a free will.

Why God did not manifestHimself in one way only?


10/31

GOD is also Holy- Perfect

who cant co-exist withimperfections or sin.

In other words His

righteousness will notallow Him to co-exist withanything that is not inaccordance to Hisstandard. therefore


11/31

In order to avoid the

destruction of hiscreature the momentAdam exercises his ownwill, God veiled orseparated Himself from

creation through Hisword.


12/31

This means that Godcreated everything in Hismind and the spoke it tobe.

His plan of redemptionhowever, was kept dearly

hidden in his bosom. Thebosom of the father of thefather (John 1:18)

So when Adam sinned he &the creation he wascommanded to havedominion over were

separated from God, andthough all was in God itwas not destroyed in

righteousness.

creation.

However Adam, who gothis own will, disobeyed,delivering this dominionto the serpent. This wayman = Adam became the

devils servant (Luk 4:6,Rom 6:16)


21/31

Due to Adamsindependent will, Itseemed if the Word of God

will have no effect.It has commanded man tohave dominion, insteaddominion was given to thePrince of this world
