The Fullness of Life_4

<p>&nbsp;Wednesday 4th August&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>The Fullness of Life 4</p> <p><br></p> <p>When we were kids, we had this poem we used to recite about Humpty Dumpty. One of the lines in the poem says, "Humpty Dumpty had a great fall..." This quickly reminds me of the Fall of Man; like Humpty Dumpty it was more a greater fall. The human mind cannot even begin to imagine how great the fall of man was and the extent of its consequences. So, when we talk about the Fall of Man, where exactly did he fall from?</p> <p>Let's look at Psa 8:5 (NLT)</p> <p><br></p> <p>Yet you made them only a little lower than God.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The above scripture gives you an idea of where Man fell from. The man that God made was made to be slightly lower than God. Man was a wonder, even to angels. God was the ultimate and the next life to God was the life of mankind. The Fall of Man reduced man to almost nothing. So how low was this fall?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Genesis 3:19 (NKJV)</p> <p><br></p> <p>In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread</p> <p>Till you return to the ground, For out of it you were taken; For dust you are, And to dust you shall return.”</p> <p><br></p> <p>From the scripture above God gave man a new definition and that definition was DUST. This was how low man had been reduced to by sin. The moment man ate the fruit in disobedience, the God part infused in him was taken away, leaving him as lifeless as a carcass. God having a perfect understanding of what life is, said that man will die, and die they did because he had separated his life from them. To push this further when God cursed The serpent, God said to The serpent "dust shall you eat..." Meaning that man fell below Angels demons and became a victim of almost everything in this world. This is exactly what the fall meant.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Friends, we fell so low, so much so that everything sees us as a prey. This is why we need the fullness of life. Life without Christ is empty, but thank God for Jesus. Today we can have access to God through Jesus who
