Man cannot be truly happy without fully trusting in God, who made him in His own image, for His glory and pleasure (Rev. 4:11), and for fellowship. But God could not force man to trust Him — that would be no trust at all. So, for man’s sake He allowed the serpent to enter into the garden, to try man. Of course, man failed miserably. But praise the Lord that He made a way even before He created man … the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. (Rev. 13:8). Through Christ I doubt the Lord no more, through the cross I fully trust Him who loved me and gave Himself for me.
