God created man in His own image in His likeness.
Genesis 1:26-27
God placed Man in the garden of Eden with a

command.
Genesis 2:16-17
17 but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil

you shall not eat ,for in the day that you eat of it

you shall surely die

Serpent came and brought forth words that

contradicted the words of God.
Genesis 3:4
But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not

surely die.

Eve chose to believe the serpent and not God.
You are slave to the one you choose to obey.
Romans 6:16
Don't you realize that you become the slave of

whatever you choose to obey?

Satan is a fallen angel Lucifer , who rebelled

against God. Through Adam and Eve's rebellion to

God's command in the garden of Eden, all

mankind came under the lordship of a fallen

angel. Thus through obedience to serpent

mankind came under the lordship of serpent.

Mankind shifted from the Lordship of God to that

of a fallen angel Lucifer.

There is indeed great difference between a Father

who created a life with His breath and a creation-

an angel who rebelled against God .
Mankind choose the wrong Ruler.
We choose to believe a creation rather than the

Creator.

God had to bring us back to him.



God's eyes are too pure to look on evil.
Habakkuk 1:13
Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot

tolerate wrongdoing.

God doesn't change
Numbers 23:19
Malachi 3:6


Sin is disobedience to God.
God's wrath falls on all who sin , they become

liable to receive the punishments and curses for

disobedience.
Only blood can bring atonement for sin.
Leviticus 17:11
For the soul (or life) of the flesh is in the blood,

and I have given it to you to reconcile your

persons (or souls) upon the altar; therefore the

same blood reconciles the person.

For the life of a creature is in the blood, and I

have given it to you to make atonement for

yourselves on the altar; it is the blood that makes

atonement for one's life.

for the life of the body is in its blood. I have given

you the blood on the altar to purify you, making

you right with the LORD. It is the blood, given in

exchange for a life, that makes purification
possible.

because blood contains life. I have given this

blood to you to make peace with me on the altar.

Blood is needed to make peace with me.



So we find in the old testament there were

required confession and repentance for sins and

animal, bird sacrifices required to bring

forgiveness for sins and animal blood shed in the

altar.

God send His one and only son Lord Jesus Christ to

be our God given Lord and the one who would

save us from our sins and the Godly wrath,

punishments and curses which came upon us

because of the rebellion to the Holy word of God.
God sent His beloved son Lord Jesus Christ to save

mankind from the fallen state sunk in sin .

Lord Jesus Christ drank the cup of God's wrath ,

punishment and curses that was meant for us so

that whoever believes in Him and accepts His

Lordship would be saved from the wrath of God

that was upon us for the rebellion and

disobedience to the command's of God. Jesus

bought us with His sinless blood, and His sacrifice

on the cross.
Romans 10:9-10.
So those under the Lordship of Jesus are not

condemned but saved. But those who are not

under Christ have to bear the wrath of God

,punishment’s of God that is due them.
John 3:17-18

what are we being saved from? Second death!! the

destruction of our souls. In the book of revelation

20:12,14,15
Matthew 25:31-46

In short this can be summarized as ---
God creates Man- Man disobeys God --falls under

wrath of God--God sends His son to save us-- Those

who accept and believe in Him are saved --Men

who choose to believe Christ are saved --those

who choose not are falling for second death but

we receive eternal life and enjoy fellowship with

God as Adam and Eve enjoyed fellowship with God

in the garden of Eden.


Our enemy is Sin , God said to Cain to Rule over

Sin Genesis 4:7, So let’s fight this inner battle and

overcome our weakness to sin and be clothed with

power to do what is right and good .

God indeed rewards and blesses those who obey

Him . Deuteronomy 28-Leviticus 26

Lucifer was a Roman demigod the son of aurora the goddess of the dawn.

In the time of Jerome elements of a Lucifer cult were present. To stamp it out he equated the Greek word for light bringer to Lucifer.

It was a political move, not an inspired interpretation.

The correct name should be heylel. Not Lucifer.

Thanks for taking time to read the message and thanks for the correction.


My above posts conveys the perfect God who truly willed to bring back His image the Mankind to Himself in righteousness as we were once in the garden of Eden.

To make us realize that we are not ordinary creation, we are His image, we are not the Angels, we are His image, We have a different post in His eyes He gave us a place closest to Him and we will recognize our worth when we realize the nature of God , our identity is hidden in Him, we are His image.


Jesus bought us by His blood.The blood of Jesus brought peace for us, The blood of Jesus is His life,it was shed on the cross to save us from the sins- for wages of sin is death, blood of Christ saves us from the second death, and it is up to us to turn from all wrong doings and and choose the right path and avoid and forsake the wrongs , because we are the image of a righteous God and not a wrong doing God.

We are the image of God and we must remain as His image in our deeds, words ,thoughts and life.

Our place is with God, not without Him,

My image stay's with me, and should be like me. Your image stay's with you and is like you.
God's image should be staying with God and be like God.

It is written, Be holy because I am holy.

Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Imitate God.

All these scriptures points our our place in the eyes of God.

Bible says in Isaiah 54:5
For your Maker is your Husband.....

We Mankind are like a wife and God our Maker is our Husband. And as a wife, We are the companions of God
and His helper.

When we read Genesis 1:28

We will find that God tells us to rule or care for or govern or manage His creation, the birds of the sky and creature' s on earth and sea, He gave us His creations to take care of them,

Jesus said a slave doesn't know the business of His Master,but we are called to take His burdens, because He made us for this purpose.

Parable of Ten virgins, 5 prepared, 5 not prepared.

So let's get prepared to meet our Husband,Luke 12:43.

God be glorified.

God is a Jealous God.

Deuteronomy 6:14,15
14"You shall not follow other gods,


any of the gods of the peoples who


surround you, 15for the LORD your


God in the midst of you is a jealous


God;


Exodus 20:5
You shall not bow down to them or


worship them; for I, the LORD your


God, am a jealous God,


Exodus 34:14English Standard


Version (ESV)


14 (for you shall worship no other


god, for the Lord, whose name is


Jealous, is a jealous God),


God is the Husband of Mankind.



Isaiah 54:5
For your Maker is your husband-- the


LORD Almighty is his name-- the Holy


One of Israel is your Redeemer; he is


called the God of all the earth.




God desires the first place in our lives and our first love.




Matthew 10:37
"Anyone who loves their father or


mother more than me is not worthy


of me; anyone who loves their son or


daughter more than me is not worthy


of me.


Matthew 22:36-38
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest


commandment in the Law?”


37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord


your God with all your heart and with


all your soul and with all your


mind.’ 38 This is the first and


greatest commandment.


God desires the first love of our


hearts.


Revelation 2:4
But I have this against you: You have


departed from your first love!


So love God and belong to Him, for

He is indeed the lover of our souls!!!

When God made Adam and Eve and introduced the Husband -wife relation it was union in flesh Gen 2:24

The Union of God our Husband and Mankind is union of the soul of God and our souls.

God has a soul and so do we, soul is eternal.
Mark 14:34"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," he said to them. "Stay here and keep watch."


Marriage between man and woman is important, so is the Marriage between God's soul and our soul important.

Earth to some extent is like a shadow of Heaven

Hebrew 8:5
They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven.....

Earthly relations, like Husband - wife, Father Children, Friendship, Master- servant, etc all relate to God and our relations.
