The bad news of this world is that Sin brings death. Sometimes I think of death in a very myopic way. My grandfather died, his heart stopped beating his lungs ceased their work and his body no longer carried his soul. Physical death is the main idea that enters my mind when I hear the word “death”. But this is too small of a thought. Death is more than this, it is a separation. When my phone dies or my car dies neither of them are gone from my life yet their are useless to me until they are recharged or repaired.
In my life, sin has brought death. By that I mean separation from both God and people. The death and subsequent separation that Sin brought is impossible to repair or recharge by natural means.
In the book titled Genesis I see hope for people like me who’ve messed up and created separation. I am grateful today that God is my Redeemer. He can bring life to dead things and create them new and replace even a higher value on them than what I could’ve imagined.
Here is a video I really like that talks about the first half of the book of Genesis. I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
