Man’s Journey Back To God

Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh. At that time men began to call on the name of the Lord. – Genesis 4:26
 
When man fell from grace, favor with God, he became a mere shadow of the image he once was. Created in the image of God he became the victim of his own choices and he was separated from God.

Adam and Eve were dead from the day they partook of the fruit. Their spirit died, or at least became dormant, as their soul man became alive and began to dominate their life. Their physical man began the journey toward death when God banished them from the Garden saying, “He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.”

The first children born to Adam and Eve brought heartache to them. Cain, the oldest, killed Abel his younger brother out of jealousy and from that time crimes against others has been a common thing.

Life outside the kingdom of God in the garden was not an easy thing and man began to realize his need of guidance beyond his own wisdom. Our verse today declares, “At that time men began to call on the name of the Lord.”

Things have not changed much today. Billions of people around the world call out to the god of their understanding desperately seeking a way to restore what was lost to man in the garden. Fallen from grace, mankind, who was created in the image of God, now tries to recreate god in his own image. The thousands of religions in the world tell the dismal story of man’s attempt to recreate the kingdom he lost when he fell from the grace of God.

God is offering his kingdom today to those who will receive it. His kingdom is not to be found in the religions of the world; It can only be found through faith in Christ alone. Man’s efforts cannot recreate the garden, but God can restore peace to man.

It is ironic that the motivation for mankind to partake of the forbidden fruit was so that he could become like God and it is that attempt to be like God which caused him to lose his god-likeness. God, through Christ, desires to restore his image in man.
 
Prayer: Lord, I have tried to recover peace and harmony by my own efforts, and it doesn’t work. Grant me your peace. In Jesus name. Amen.
 
Message:  Billions of people around the world call out to the god of their understanding desperately seeking a way to restore what was lost to man in the garden. Fallen from grace, mankind, who was created in the image of God, now tries to recreate god in his own image.  God's kingdom of peace can only be found through faith in Christ alone. Man’s efforts cannot recreate the garden, but God can restore peace to man.
 
Affirmation:  God has restored me to a place of peace in him through faith in Christ alone.
 
Reflection:  Give some thought to the idea that man is trying to create god in his own image and try to verbalize what that means to you.
