Synopsis

This book is the second volume of my sermons on Genesis. In this volume, I would like to explain in detail how sin came into the world, what kind of fate befell mankind as its result, and how God has saved such mankind. How did sin enter mankind? It entered because of Satan's wiles. Satan is the fallen angel who was cast out by God for standing against Him and trying to exalt himself higher than God. Satan asked Eve, "Has God indeed said, 'You shall not eat of every tree of the garden'?"”Eve's weak faith was inevitably shaken by the Devil's skeptical question and began to crumble. Satan then deceived Eve with an even more naked lie, saying, "You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil" (Genesis 3:4-5). Once Eve lost her mind to Satan, she came to believe in his lies rather than God's Word, and ended up acting according to her mistaken beliefs. Not believing in God's Word is the origin of sin. Therefore, even before Adam and Eve ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, sin had already entered into their hearts the very moment they disbelieved in God's Word. What happened to mankind after its fall? First, human beings could no longer be with God; second, they came to have their own standards of good and evil different from God's standard; and third, it became impossible for them to receive all the blessings coming from God. Above all, they turned into wretched beings who could not avoid death, that is, the eternal punishment of hell for this sin. The entire human race was now destined to live without any hope, wandering around lost in the weary and thorny journey of life, with its flesh to return to a handful of dust and its soul to bear the eternal punishment of hell. However, God came looking for fallen mankind. And He saved us perfectly from all our sins and trespasses. That God rested on the seventh day means that God completed all His works of salvation. How, then, did God accomplish all the works of salvation? Although Satan had tempted Adam and Eve and made them fall, Genesis also records that God saved them by making the perfect garments of salvation made with skin, and clothing them with these garments. In other words, even though Satan, the fallen angel, had led the first man Adam to fall into sin, God still saved us perfectly in Christ. That is why God could now rest. Having completed all His works during the first six days, God then rested on the seventh day. And He blessed this day and sanctified it. In other words, God rested precisely because He finished making the whole universe and mankind, and completed everything He intended to do. Had He been unable to finish the work of making us humans sinless, then God could not have rested.

About the Author

The author has been preaching the gospel of the water and the Spirit to the lost souls of the world for about two decades now. Before he came to preach the true gospel of the water and the Spirit, Rev. Paul C. Jong had studied theology in Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Korea for about 10 years. And then, while he started ministering a church in the same denomination, he came to recognize the gospel of the water and the Spirit, which truly led him to be born again. After being born again by the water and the Spirit, he founded The New Life Mission in 1991 and has been preaching the words of the water and the Spirit, which contains God's righteousness, to the whole world. He is presently fostering many disciples of Jesus at The New Life Mission School. Having established mission-oriented churches all over the world, he is spreading the gospel through his written works. His works, which have presently been translated into almost 50 major languages of the world, are being distributed to over 150 countries.
