In the garden, Adam had communion with God. When sin entered into the picture, that communion was lost.
God gave man a promise when that happened. He would robe
Himself in flesh (the Son) as our Redeemer and Savior.
"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and
between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise
his heel." - Genesis 3:15 KJV
"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent
forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were
under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are
sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba,
Father." - Galatians 4:4-6 KJV
With the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, we have
the opportunity for communion once again with God. (Acts 2:38).
We find this communion when we become a son of God by repenting
of our sins, being baptized in His name Jesus for the remission of our sins,
and by receiving the gift of His Holy Ghost, which is His Spirit.
By the Spirit of God we become one with God.
"And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom
thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are." - John 17:11 KJV
"Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also
which shall believe on me through their word; that they all may be one; as
thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us..."
- John 17:20-21 KJV
"And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;
that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they
may be made perfect in one..." - John 17:22-23 KJV
"Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but
the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given
to us of God." - 1 Corinthians 2:12 KJV
