GOD’S WORD FOR NOVEMBER 20 ~ ~ Genesis 2:19~ ~ “And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof.”

A large, sophisticated concrete floor has recently been discovered in China. The floor dates to a period that, not long ago, evolutionists called the “Stone Age.”

The concrete floor, discovered in northwest China, extends the record of technological man far beyond any age imagined by evolutionists. Concrete of excellent quality was widely used in the Roman Empire. However, according to the evolutionary scenario, when the Chinese floor was built, man had just perfected stone axes and arrowheads.

The concrete floor measures 144 square feet. The concrete itself is a greenish black. However, scientists report that when struck with an iron object, it gives the same hollow sound as modern concrete. The concrete is similar to today’s and includes silicon and aluminum. Sand, stone, broken pottery and bones were mixed with the concrete. Obviously, so-called “Stone Age” man was involved in much more industry than some scientists had thought!

Scientists who believe the Bible’s view of history are not surprised by this discovery. They know that every human being, from the very first one, has been completely human and quite intelligent. Imagine, on his first day of existence, Adam was smart enough to understand the animals and give them meaningful names! To a man with such understanding of God’s creation, concrete would be a simple technology. The question really is: Are we as smart today as Adam?

To answer that, we need to know the spiritual history of mankind since Adam. Adam himself lost his direct connection to God when he sinned, which is spiritual death, and that sin, death, and disconnection was embedded into mankind and passed down through the sin nature, as is pointed out in Romans 5:15, explained in the Amplified:

“But the free gift [of God] is not like the trespass [because the gift of grace overwhelms the fall of man]. For if many died by one man’s trespass [Adam’s sin], much more [abundantly] did God’s grace and the gift [that comes] by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, overflow to [benefit] the many.”

and in:

1 Corinthians 15:22

“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.”

With that spiritual one-ness with God severed, the wisdom and knowledge that mankind could receive from God was impaired, because the sin nature, (inherent from Adam choosing satan over God) gave satan the authority to block that connection to the natural part of Adam and his descendants.

That’s referred to as the curse of sin, or the curse of the law, because no one can obey the law. No one can be perfectly sinless and thus be deserving of heaven.

Galatians 3:13 ~ ~ “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:”

It was God’s plan to repair the disconnection between God and man, because:

Isaiah 53:6 tells us that:

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.”

So, when each of us realizes that we cannot, and will not, make our own way to heaven, no matter how many times we go to church, how many prayers we say, or how much we try to “be good”, we will inevitably fail, and the only way to fix it is through receiving Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior, relying upon Him alone to connect us with the Father. With that connection, all the benefits of Adam’s relationship with the Father are again ours, albeit a little clouded because the sin nature in our natural minds gets in the way. But, our spirits are alive and fully connected with the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ, and after our physical death, we will be fully with Him!!!!!

John 14:26

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Ephesians 1:13 ~ ~ “ In Him, you also, when you heard the word of truth, the good news of your salvation, and [as a result] believed in Him, were stamped with the seal of the promised Holy Spirit [the One promised by Christ] as owned and protected [by God].”

Every person was created to be connected with God, and can be connected again, by our own choice.

Have you made the connection?
