"And when the woman (Eve) saw

that the tree was good for food,

and that it was pleasant to the eyes,

and a tree to be desired to make one wise,

she took of the fruit thereof and did eat,

and gave also unto her husband (Adam)

with her; and he did eat." (Genesis 3:6)

 

Something, Nothing and Everything

Three things fallen man looks for:

 

        The lust of the flesh - doing something

        The lust of the eyes - having something

        The pride of life - being something

        (Genesis 3:6, Matthew 4:1-10, Luke 4:1-13, 1 John 2:16)

 

But the believer is nothing, "For if a man think himself to be something , when he is nothing , he deceiveth himself."  (Galatians 6:3)

       

        Knows nothing, "And if any man think that he knoweth anything, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. (1 Corinthians 8:2)

 

        Can do nothing "Without Me ye can do nothing." (John 15:5)

        Apart from Christ Who is everything, "Christ is all and in all." 

(Colossians 3:11)

 

 

Glory to God!
