When Adam and Eve sinned they brought in a sin nature because they rebelled against God, therefore, every time a child is born; they are born into sin because of what happened in the past. We are all born with a sin nature, we naturally rebel against anything that’s right. That’s why Jesus Christ who is the life giver, the lover of our souls had to come on the scene to bring life back to us, to bring us back to God in order to save our spirits from damnation. Jesus brought life to us when he died on the cross. Even though Adam and Eve messed up, God already had a plan B because he knew this was going to happen. Jesus was and is our remnant, the Holy One who gave his life and saved our own through His righteous blood on Calvary. People are not perfect, none of us are, we make mistakes, we are only human, we are but dust of the earth, that’s why God made another way for us to come back to him and become saved. Isn’t it just like God to help you through your mistakes to make another way even though you fell because he is God, and God alone, a God of forgiveness and mercy. A God of second chances. When the devil brought death, God came on in and brought life. Always know that we were never met to die, we are beings created by God in his likeness, we were met to live on, but when sin came into the world it brought death with it. Giving our lives an expiration date, but though our bodies die, the real us which is our spirits, live on somewhere, whether it be up or down, heaven or hell. It depends on how you live and who you serve in this life to determine where you go when you die. Some people believe when they die that’s it, they believe when they die they are no more and do not exist, but that’s simply not true. Since death came into the world through sin, everything around us dies, the plants, the trees, and the grass and so on. But though death comes, so does life. To prove this, how does the grass turn green when spring comes? How does the trees and flowers bloom again when summer approaches? How do the plants come back to life when they have been asleep like the trees? It is because though sin and death have come, life still reigns because God created life and God is life. God has set a time and a season for everything under heaven because of the sinful heart of man, sin is the cause of death and though death comes, so does life. Thus the phrase life after death.

Hey guys I hope you all had a good weekend. Lord's willing I will have the next part of Life After Death up and another blog post about strange things. Again thanks for checking out my website, you guys are awesome! Until next time.
Continuing on from last week, welcome back to Life After Death Part 3: Many people blame Eve for bringing sin into the world, but Adam is equally to blame because he stood right beside her and said nothing, because the forbidden fruit was pleasing to the eye. Anything is pleasing to the eye when you are warned to stay away from it. If Adam didn’t eat the fruit sin would not have come, like I said earlier, Adam was the first born God created. He had dominion and power on this earth, whatever he did or said was set into motion. Notice when Eve ate of the fruit nothing happened, but once Adam ate of it sin came. The devil knew he couldn’t get to Adam so he went to Eve. The devil knew Eve had a lot of influence on Adam and the devil knew Adam would follow his wife and forget what God commanded them. The devil knew Eve was the key to Adam’s heart and unfortunately Eve fell prey to the devil’s temptation. This is so true today, when the devil sees he can’t tempt you, he will use someone close to you to try to get you to break the rules a little so he can have more of a foothold in your life, so he can rule your life and take you out. Notice at that time the devil didn’t have a foothold in the earth, he wasn’t the prince of the age yet because Adam had dominion over the earth. Adam was the prince of the earth back then. The devil was kicked out of heaven trying to be God so he could rule all of heaven. But how many know there is only one God and He is supreme, there is no other like our God. According to the book of Revelations 12:7 The heading reads Satan Thrown out of Heaven It reads and war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Once the devil was thrown out of heaven with his angels, he wanted to rule, he wanted to get back at God for kicking him out of heaven. Than the devil saw God create the first man and woman, instantly hating them because they were in God's image and had a relationship with God. And the same is true today, the devil hates us all because we all are the image of God, he hates the sons and daughters of God because we give our hearts to the Lord, saving our spirits from going to hell. The devil is doomed and soon he will be no more, so he tries to kill all he can. The devil comes to steal, kill and destroy because his time is short on the earth. The devil knew that if he could get a foothold in the earth, he could wreak havoc and cause death and strife. He needed to deceive Adam and Eve, obviously he couldn’t deceive Adam so he went to Eve because she must have been more open. Having a little doubt in her heart, which worked in the devil's favor and once Eve listened to the devil, both she and Adam ate of the fruit and sin came. Bringing death with it. This was the door for the devil to come in. Once sin came, the devil had free reign in the earth becoming the prince of the age. Noticed again how the devil couldn’t come in until Eve invited him in by talking to him and listening to him. See the devil is like a vampire, he waits for you to invite him in, to give him an opening. Thanks guys for checking out my website. You guys are awesome! Now continuing on with life after death, the next question is why is death here? Sin came into the world through Adam and Eve, the father and mother who birthed the human race. God created Adam and Eve in his image and also gave them free will. God warned Adam and Eve not to eat of the forbidden fruit in the book of Genesis. Eve was the first woman, the first wife and mother of all. Not only was Eve Adam’s wife, she was also his partner in the undertakings or tasks of the Garden of Eden. There is not much known about Eve. But everyone knows the story of Eve in the book of Genesis, the devil came using a snake to tempt Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. The devil caused Eve to question God's command to not eat the fruit, she had everything she ever wanted in the garden, except the fruit of a tree she and Adam were not allowed to eat of. Of course the fruit on that tree was tempting because she was not supposed to eat of it. The devil helped Eve to forget God's command because she wanted to be like God, knowing both good and evil. Her heart and mind was clouded with the devil's words and she fell for it because she wanted that knowledge. She wanted to be like God. And the same is true with us, we all fall victim to the devil tempting us as well. Eve ate of the fruit but notice, sin didn’t come until Adam ate of the fruit because he was first born, once he ate of the fruit sin came into the world. When Adam and Eve bought sin into the world they brought death also because sin leads to death. The first death was spiritual death, which is being separated from God. Once they ate of the fruit, they broke the spiritual connection they had with God. The second death which is physical death came when Cain murdered his brother Able. When this happened this was the result of Adam and Eve’s past mistake, the sins of the father and mother. Cain was hard headed and did not listen to God's warning. God told Cain that sin is crouching at your door, but Cain did not heed God's warning and later killed his brother. In this way, Cain was like his mother and father, they did not listen to God's warning either and thus brought sin and death into the world. Adam followed Eve in eating the fruit, Adam didn’t have to eat of the fruit but he did because he followed his wife. Adam chose to follow and listen to his wife instead of listening to God who warned him not to eat of the fruit. And again this happens to us in our own lives, like Solomon said, there is nothing new under the sun. We are quick to listen to others and not God. When God tells us to do something we don’t want to listen, but if someone else says do something we will. This is our sin nature kicking in, we naturally want to rebel against God, because Adam and Eve rebelled against God. That's why we have a sin nature. (All sin nature means is rebelling against God). But it is up to us to break the mode and listen to God so we can have a long fulfilling life through Him. Thanks for visiting my website, you guys are awesome! Hey guys good morning, hope you guys had a good weekend. Lord's willing I'll have part 2 of life after death up tomorrow. So I'll see you guys then and here's today's daily quote. As always thank you for checking out my website, you guys are awesome!
I saw this video on Facebook the heading was when you're on a diet and somebody brings cupcakes for dinner 😆 this video is epic and totally funny. I couldn't stop laughing think I watched it like five times.
There was a man that stood in front of his wife’s grave, her death was untimely. He fell to his knees and gripped the gravestone and said through his tears, “Is there life after death?” He stared up at the night sky seeing the stars and wondered: what is beyond space and all its stars? Will I see my wife again one day when this life is over? Death has interested people all over the world, but though death is fascinating, many fear because they wonder: when we die where do we go? Do we die like dogs where life is no more or do we sleep eternally in the grave, rotting and decaying? What is death? And why do we die? Why is death here? These are all good questions. What a lot of people don’t realize is there is life after death, a world far more real than our own. Let’s begin with life after death. Death is the gateway to the real world, a place that can be beautiful or a place that can be constant torment, having no end. There are many stories that talk about immortality which is popular in fantasy and science fiction books and television shows. In actuality we are really immortals walking this earth. What do I mean by this you may wonder, our human bodies are mortal. Eventually these bodies will die and pass away one day but our spirits (which are our lifelines) will live on into eternity, either going up or down heaven or hell. Our spirits are the real us, our spirits keep our bodies moving and going. Notice when someone dies the light in their eyes leaves. It’s because their spirits are no longer there. Once a person dies the spirit leaves, leaving behind an empty shell. Have you ever noticed when you look into the eyes of an animal you see nothing else but your reflection? This is because animals have souls, once they die that’s it, there life is no more because they have souls, they don’t have spirits like us. We have spirits. Have you noticed when you look at the pupil of your eye in the mirror you keep seeing yourself over and over again, staring into an endless abyss of yourself? This is because we have no end. We are all made in the image of God. God is a spirit and like Him we live forever. God is an everlasting being and so are we. When you look at the pupil of your eyes and seeing yourself over and over again it is eerie knowing you have no end. My grandmother always said that this is just the dressing room until we go into the next world. Our bodies are like old clothes, when we die we take off these old garments and go into the next world. image reference: http://www.slideshare.net/peacefulsteph/salvation-38540776
