A Lesson for Us

Besides revealing the cause of the degenerate condition of human society today, the account of the first married couple teaches a fundamental lesson.  Any pretense of independence from Jehovah God is sheer folly.  Those who are truly wise exercise faith in Jehovah and his Word, not in their supposed self-sufficiency of knowledge.  Jehovah determines good and bad, and the essence of doing what is right  is obeying him.  Wrongdoing means violating his laws and ignoring his principles.

God offered and still others that  mankind can possibly desire-everlasting life, freedom, satisfaction, happiness, health, peace, prosperity and discovery of new things. Our enjoyment of all of this, however, requires recognition of our total independence upon our heavenly Father, Jehovah. -Ecclesiastes 3:10-13; Isaiah 55:6-13.

Next time:"KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS AND CONTINUE LIVING"
