all a wonder.
its really quite the wonder how God works.
in a way, it was eve who introduced sin into the world, although adam was not without fault either.
adam contributed to the downfall of man by not leading his wife,
by not keeping a strict and close eye on his flock.
eve thus 'strayed' away, got tempted by the serpant, & ate the fruit of the forbidden tree.
adam enhanced the sin by listening to his wife and eating what she gave him.
indeed, the ultimate role reversal.
yet God gave grace to woman again,
by letting woman bear his son,
in so, redeeming woman of the very first sin she committed.
and man has been redeemed too,
through Christ, who was the leader adam should have been,
the man adam should have become.
i really pray that i'll be a woman of God,
not a girl of God anymore.
i don't want to struggle with petty emotions,
and help my brothers to grow, not to stumble them.
i need to be more mature,
not to always want others to do the grown-up stuff for me.
I WANT TO BE A WOMAN OF GOD!
some verses:
romans 1: 16-17
"I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. 17For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last,[c] just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." "
romans 1: 20
"20For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse."
romans 2: 13
"For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous."
romans 2: 21-24
"you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal? 22You who say that people should not commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples? 23You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law? 24As it is written: "God's name is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you." "
