given access

Col 1:13 says that God rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves...

That dominion of darkness and sin that once held me is related to knowledge of good and evil. It says that Adam and Eve's "eyes were opened"...strange way to talk about being thrown into a world of sin, chaos, destruction and darkness. I am grateful that as pagan I could live under the grace, mercy, and love of God. I am grateful that the goodness and kindness of God floods this world even in the darkest hour. Even in Satan's most triumphant moment the goodness and grace of God still govern.

God still comes walking in the cool of the garden to find me. He still extends His love and grace in my life.

I was given access again to the garden by partaking of the tree of life. I was given new clothes, new knowledge, new eyes, and a new heart. I can walk with Him and rest in His love.
