“I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and
nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere Him”
Ecclesiastes 3:14
“Father, I want those you have given Me to be with Me where I am, and to see My glory, the glory you have given Me because you loved Me before the creation of the world. Righteous Father, though the world does not know You, I know You, and they know that You have sent Me. I have made You known to them, and will continue to make You known in order that the love You have for Me may be in them and that I myself may be in them” (John 17:24-26).
In the Garden of Eden, satan first deceived Eve by questioning whether God actually said that she could not eat from the forbidden tree. Next, the devil deceived her by telling her that she could be like God. Then, satan continued to work his art of deception when he said, “God is hiding something from you.” He destroyed Adam and Eve’s concept of God. To the man and the woman, God became Someone who was holding back on them. Satan said, “God doesn’t want you to know what He knows.” What do you mean God didn’t want Adam and Eve to know what He knew? Adam and Eve were born related in spirit with God. God created them to know Him. Thus, satan stole both man’s potential to be like God and his understanding of God.
God created them [people] to know Him.
