Again, What if...

What would life be like if Adam and Eve had not sinned?

I truly cannot fully fathom the idea of what life would be like had they not sinned. I mean basically we would be living now in a sinless world (given that someone else along the way didn't "take the fruit").

We would be living in a world without pain or sadness or suffering.

So many many things would be different. In this world there is so much corruption. Each day we experience so much that is wrong, unsettling. The injustice that we see, the sin that encompasses our society and world would be
gone.


And we would be living in complete oneness with the Father. We would be walking and talking and living life with the creator of the universe.

It blows my mind to think that God could have been completely content living alone as God. But He created us in order that we would get to experience the greatness of Him. That is love.

We would be living in a world smothered by love not hate
of peace not war
of right not wrong
we would be living in an Eden.

But because Eve took the fruit and Adam allowed her to do so... we are here. An who's to say that someone else wouldn't have done the same.

Now the idea of life being perfect and never knowing sin is something to think about. But this was God's plan.

Because now when we get to heaven we can bow in total reverence and adoration at the one and only who lived life perfectly. We live in humility knowing that we can never be God.

There is no question that life would be different... better. But that wasn't God's plan so clearly what happened was ultimately for the best. And now we have a hope for something we cannot fathom. But someday we will have a taste of what that would have been like. Someday we will be in heaven and that is what is worth thinking about, instead of playing the "what if" game.
