The Fall of Man

I grew up hearing the story of Adam and Eve all the time , but it really just hit me that Jesus was the second Adam lol. but check this out - The same way the devil tempted Eve is the same way he tried to tempt Jesus, but off course Jesus prevailed. Genesis 1:27.. "God created man in his OWN image, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them" . Ok.. this verse is saying Adam and Eve was basically like God, an OWN image of God. Chapter 3 verse 4 " the serpent came to eve and said... when you eat of it {the fruit} your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" Helllooooooo Eve.. you were like God already according to Gen 1:27 .. An OWN image of God . The difference between Adam and Eve and Jesus is this- ok.. Jesus was led by the Spirit to go in the wilderness after 40 days and forty nights of fasting and praying, the bible said he was very hungry! the devil appeared to Him and said ..Matthew 4:3 " if you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.. Jesus answered " it is WRITTEN man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. It is interesting how the devil used food both in the garden of Eden and at the wilderness lol. The devil then took him to the highest point of the city and said ... if you are the Son of God, throw yourself down for it is written ( whattt??? the devil quotes "the Word".. smh) " he will command angels concerning you and they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone" My Jesus rebutted and said look here fool" for it is written ... Do not put the Lord your God to test"... the devil continued but Jesus ended by say " Away from me Satan for it is written " Worship your Lord God and serve Him only". My message here brethren is that the big difference between Adam and Eve and Jesus was that, Jesus knew who he was - God's Son.. God OWN image and knew the word. I encourage everyone to thirst for the word in order to equip yourselves so that when the enemy strikes you can strike back. When he begins to tell you to smoke and drink your problems away, you tell him NO.. My body is a temple of God and was bought for a price and therefore I must honor God with my body - 1 corthin 6:19. When he begins to tell you you are ugly.. you tell him No, I am fearfully and wonderfully made psalm 139:14.. Also we all have the power to command the enemy to leave us alone but one must fully submit to God.. James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you".. Be ENCOURAGED BRETHREN!
