In this thought-provoking episode, we journey back to the very beginning, Genesis 1, to explore one of the purest relationships ever known: the fellowship between God and Adam and Eve before the fall. Contemplate what life was like when there was no need for confession or repentance, but only innocent adoration, unhesitant obedience, and uninterrupted love. Picture a moment where the Creator and the created existed harmoniously, basking in reciprocal admiration.
We delve into the concept of divine companionship, positing parallels between the relationship between God the Father and God the Son, and that of Adam and Eve with their Maker. Marvel at the awe-inspiring idea that the entire universe, all of creation, seems to exist for the purpose of being subdued by mankind. A contemplation leading us to ask, "What would it be like to have no need for repentance, to know and feel the Father's pleasure?".
We delve into creation's purpose, viewing mankind as the pinnacle, the crown of God's creations, blessed with intelligence, soul, conscience, imagination, and understanding the cause and effect. A fascinating exploration of the belief that we were designed to be part of heavenly worship, alongside the sinless angels singing praises of worthiness, holiness, and blessing.
The intention of God is for all of us to have a relationship, a fellowship with Him. Despite the sin that altered the original plan, God's ultimate desire remains the same: to restore the primal, once upon a time, relationship with mankind. The narrative culminates with an invitation to enter His rest and peace, to hear him call your name, proclaiming that your works are complete, all achieved through the cross. Rest, for this, was what we were made for.
