Reconciled


by Keith Gardner

Genesis 3:8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.

Have you ever asked yourself the question; why did God choose the method He chose to reconcile man to Himself? You know what I mean! Why did God do things the way He did? He removed Adam and Eve from the garden, but gave them another chance. He removed Cain from his family, but gave him another chance. He destroyed the earth in a flood, but gave man (through Noah) another chance. He made a people of His own (the Israelites), and they failed Him, but He gave them another chance. He sent His son Jesus, to live and die as a man to give us another chance. Why?
