Lesson 4
The Punishment Of Sin
-
One evening God came to the Garden of Eden to see Adam and Eve. When they heard His footsteps,they were frightened. “The man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of theLORD God among the trees of the Garden” (Genesis 3:8)God felt sad when Adam and Eve, whom he created in His own Image and likeness, moved away from Him. He sought after them. They did not have the courage to face God since they acted against His command. Since they acted against His command they got proper punishment. God expelled them from the Garden of Eden.Even then, He was merciful towards them. With a compassionate heart, He promised a Saviour for them.
God loves each and every one of us. When we sin, He feels sad and He is pained.Sin takes the joy away.Have you ever been punished by your parents? Even though they punish, don't they show love towards you?When we commit mistakes God punishes us, still He loves us. God came in search of Adam and Eve whodisobeyed Him. In the same way, He comes after us.Even if we move away from Him through sin, He is always in search of us.Our God is a God who comes after us.Let us sing
