Before the Fall of Man

God created man in his own image.  Man is to acknowledge God as the creator of the universe.  Man is to have faith and trust in God that His will is always good for his creation.  With this understanding God will co-create and co-rule with man on earth. 

Man can eat of all the fruits in the Garden of Eden except from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.  This test followed by temptation of the serpent created doubt that God should only be the one knowing what is good and evil.  Man wanted to be like God and disobeyed God's command not to eat of the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge. 

Before the Fall, man is allowed even to eat the fruits from the Tree of Life which allows for an eternal relationship with God.

Transformation of Body and Mind


After accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour, a Christian needs to be transformed in body and mind and present themselves as living sacrifices to God's purposes.  While living in the Kingdom of God, the Holy Spirit who dwells and then fills a Christian's body and mind will transform him or her to become more Christ-like. 

Transformation of the mind includes spiritual maturity, ability to discern what's good or bad and obedience to God.  The subsequent change in a person's attitude and character, made possible from transformation of the mind, will allow for behaviour modification resulting in Christ-like behaviour and actions.  



Trailles for Climbing Plants

Installed this trailles on New Year's day. Really simple with these rust proofed rods and clips. Just clip away the rods at the top then clip others in the middle of the standing rods. Planted beans and passion fruit.
