GPS-God's Plan for our Salvation

So I was sitting on myspace... and I thought "I don't have a blog yet" Now for me that's unusual I like to have something up that others can read and possibly think "this is good! It really applies to my life." I like to think that the knowledge I have gained through experiencing these few years of life can be used by someone else to get there life straighter, or answer a complicated question that they just can't seem to shake. So here goes my shortest blog ever.
God gave us a choice follow Him or die. And out of that freedom came Satan quickly followed by the temptation of Eve and death, aka the knowledge of good AND evil, for their descendants(note that I don't say all of mankind and I'll address that later) Now I'm not talking about physical death, I'm talking about spiritual death which isn't death so to speak, it's eternal damnation. That's right if you aren't perfect, if you ever sin even once you will be damned to live in eternity not With Satan but WITHOUT God. That's frightening right? That God expects, no that's not right, that God DEMANDS your perfection? Then what's the point of even trying? I mean no one's perfect everyone sins. This very question is what the Bible is all about. The Bible tells us the story of Jesus Christ from beginning to end, nothing less nothing more. Jesus didn't come until the new testaments you say? God knows all that is and will be! He knew Eve would be tempted and sin, He knew that all their descendants would be damned to separation from Him. He wrote the law, How could he not know. But God had a plan and this plan was our salvation through the sacrifice of His son, The Holy Lamb, the Innocent Man who took the chains of the convict upon Himself. God's sacrifice was the only way that we could be with Him and our Father loves us. He desires for us to spend eternity with Him. So He sent Jesus to be our Saviour and our example of how to live. Jesus was in constant communion with God. There was not a thing that Jesus said or did that he had not checked with his Father first. God was aways on his mind 24/7. Literally. This isn't an impossible thing just a difficult one. You breathe right? Do you constantly have to think breathe..breathe. No you don't and if you work at it God can be your breath. You can have him continually refreshing your life. Remember God is always there your just not always thinking of Him. If you can accomplish this, constant communion with God, then everything else that God wants of you will happen because you will do nothing that does not pass His inspection and He will be constantly leading and directing your thoughts and actions.



Ok so now that I've addressed our salvation it's back to the Human race and the first sin by Eve and then Adam. 
The Bible is the story of Jesus Christ from beginning to end, nothing more, nothing less.
I believe that there were other people in the Garden. And that when The Garden was sealed off some of them chose to leave, this comes from the Bible talking about the sons of God and daughters of Eve having physical communion. The reason the Bible doesn't address this is because it is only about the Story of Jesus Christ. There are many things it doesn't answer because of this. And as frustrating as this might be just imagine if the Bible contained every detail about how and why he created the universe and not just the Story of our Salvation. If you have questions about this just ask me. I'd be happy to answer them if I can.

God Bless
