Stay in Eden

The most important thing in Eden wasn't the Trees, the waters or the beautiful surroundings. It was the Presence of God. One of the meanings of the word 'Eden' is atmosphere,  it connotes the presence of God. It wasn't just a garden but a place where God's Presence was fully expressed. God didn't just drive man away from the garden but from His Presence.

Today, through what Jesus did, we can now have access to that garden (The Presence of God).  As a matter of fact,  we have 'God with us' and God in us through the Holy Spirit. It means we carry around the most important thing in Eden-The Presence of God.

It was this consciousness of God's Presence that prevented Joseph from sinning against God with Potiphar's wife. He said 'How.... can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?' - Genesis 39:9.  Now that we have access to God's Presence in this magnitude it gives us the leverage to live pure lives as youths. Being in God's Presence is the most beautiful thing ever. God with us and God in us makes us doubly able to live pure lives everyday.

Stay in Eden. Stay in God's Presence!
