j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's.

 Man in the Garden of Eden

Talking Points

  • Point 1: Adam and Eve were incredibly and wonderfully made: They had everything they needed physically, materially (garden had all he needed), emotionally (Eve was the perfect counterpart), and spiritually (God came near in the cool of the day).  Adam was given dominion; God raised him up and gave him his place, as well as suitable work and satisfaction.  Finally, they were given guidelines for their own good.
  • Point 2: God put him in the garden (God had a purpose for him).  It is important for man to have a purpose.  God has a high purpose for each of us.
  • Point 3: Specify about the two trees in the midst of the garden: 1) The Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil and 2) The Tree of Life.  Prohibition: It was God's garden and under God's rules.  So was Adam.
  • Point 4: Specify how that man was given a free will in order that he wouldn't be a robot.  Show how the Serpent questioned God's Goodness (Gen. 3:5), questioned God's Word (Gen. 3:1), and lied (Gen. 3:4).  He's the same today.  Show how Eve twisted what God had said so that it sounded better.

Illustration: Tell of one who lied and the resulting cost or mistake.

Summary: Trust the ONE whose Word is true, not the one who lies.  God wants the very best for us.
