A Lesson for Us

Besides revealing the cause of the degenerating 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 offers all 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 dependence upon our heavenly Father, Jehovah. -Ecclesiastes 3:10-13; 55:6-`3.
