What you missed in Eden.
What you missed in Eden.
Dear reader, you may find difficulty believing this, but it is the real truth. The Garden of Eden was not ordinary. God had many reasons for putting this garden on earth. When man sinned and God took it away, you missed very many things. In this article I show you what you missed in the Garden of Eden.
Our current struggles.
Today many Christians struggle with attaining the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Some find it very difficult to love others, others lack joy or peace within their hearts. Then there are those who are not patient, kind, or good at all. Other Christians struggle with being faithful, or being gentle and some lack total self-control within their hearts and bodies.
God’s original plan.
During creation, God’s initial plan for man was for him not to struggle to acquire love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
The Garden of Eden.
God created the Garden of Eden with a special purpose. This Garden was like no other Garden on Earth. Its fruits were not ordinary fruits as indicated in the Scripture below:
“And the Lord God [a]planted a garden (oasis) in the east, in Eden (delight, land of happiness); and He put the man whom He had formed (created) there. 9 And [in that garden] the Lord God caused to grow from the ground every tree that is desirable and pleasing to the sight and good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the [experiential] knowledge (recognition) of [the difference between] good and evil.” Genesis 2:8-9 AMP.
Fruits in the Garden of Eden.
God planted each tree in the Garden of Eden with a purpose. Some trees bore physical fruits of love, other trees bore real fruits of joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
The purpose of fruits in Eden.
God’s plan was that if a person needed peace in his heart, he would not struggle. That person would just go in the Garden of Eden and pick the fruit of Peace, eat it and instantly feel great peace in heart!.
If another person needed patience in her heart, she would not struggle to acquire it. She would just go in the Garden of Eden, look for a tree with the fruit of patience, eat it and instantly acquire patience!
If you wanted faithfulness, you would not struggle. You would just go to the Garden of Eden and look for a tree that bore fruits of faithfulness. You pick one fruit, eat it and you instantly become a faithful person.
The only exception.
The only exception in the Garden of Eden were the fruits from the tree of Knowledge. If man was to eat this fruit, he would acquire the supernatural wisdom of God. The wisdom to do anything impossible (Genesis 2:16-17).
What you missed in Eden.
So, you can see that if the Garden of Eden was still here today and we were all eating its fruits, people would not fight one another, we would all have joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
Your second chance.
You should not worry about the lost Eden. God is giving you a second chance. If you believe in Jesus as your Lord and Savior; and you succeed dying in the Lord, you will find and eat these fruits from the new Garden of Eden in heaven. As a result, in heaven you will have everlasting love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control just only by eating the required fruits.
