Becoming Love

The Fall

The lie of living for self...


First sin - Adam & Eve

The image was lost. Who they were created to be died. What was love became selfishness.

Fallen Thinking - The way that seems right to a man

Through Adam, every man inherits a twisted, self-centered mindset/perspective - a mindset that is reinforced in the world by the Father's enemy - a mindset that is foreign to heaven. (The eye of "it's all about me"; thinking for you)  (The problem: man thinking for himself when he was designed for His image.)

Way that seems right - human reasoning - reasoning against truth - became that way at the fall - (:56)
Way that seems right - complicated thinking - doesn't give what talks you out of faith - (2:30)
Way that seems right - common sense - voice of stranger vs. voice of God - (1:06)

Way that seems right - always produces death - fruit shows where it comes from - (:46)
Judging others - 1st impressions - judgments - arrogance - repulsive people - (:46)*
Judging others - 1st impressions - alienated from God by the way our minds work - (:46)

Homeschooled in the wrong home - need to be reschooled - in spirit of our minds - (:35)

Fallen living

Through Adam, every man is born into a life of insecurity & identity crisis.

Muck & mire - children of Israel - Moses - slavery - building another's kingdom - mocking identity - (1:28) 
Muck & mire - Moses - Heb. 11 - (2:36)
Muck & mire - symbolic of sin - building another's kingdom - quote

But man was not created to live for self...
