19. The Curse God Put On Earth Caused Death - New Testament

“When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam's sin brought death.” Romans 5:12 NLT

Can you imagine a world without death? That’s how it was in Eden.

God’s curse because of man’s sin allowed death to enter the world.

With Adam’s covenant with God broken, creation changed to a place of death.

Satan’s leading man to sin brought death to all life on the earth.

The curse on earth is from man’s sin brought death to all life on the planet.

Heaven and earth were both free from death before sin.

God’s original creation was a death-free zone, like it will be again in eternity.

Disobedience literally brought death to earth for every living thing.

Lord, I praise You as Ruler over life and death. May I honor You in both. In Jesus Name, Amen.

The curse on earth brought thorns and weeds to the planet.

God’s original, perfect creation had no weeds or thorns.

17. The Curse God Put On Earth Made It Hard To Grow Food

“You will have to work very hard for your food. In pain you will eat its food all the days of your life.” Genesis 3:17b NCV

Food was provided in the beginning with no effort on Adam’s part, but sin changed that.

God provided food without man’s hard work before sin.

God freely provided sustenance for Adam, His covenant partner, until Adam disobeyed.

Satan’s leading man to sin lead to difficulty in getting food from the earth itself.

The curse on earth required man to work hard for sustenance throughout life.

In God’s original creation, food was freely provided for His creatures.

Disobedience literally caused man to have to work hard for food throughout life.

Lord, until the day we’re free from the curse, I thank You for my ability to work and provide food for my family. May I honor You with my words, my deeds, my example, and my abilities. In Jesus Name, Amen.

16. Cursed Earth, The 2nd Of 5 Earths In Scripture

“Then God said to the man, ‘You listened to what your wife said, and you ate fruit from the tree from which I commanded you not to eat. So I will put a curse on the ground.’ ” Genesis 3:17a NCV

15. God Walked Regularly With Mankind On The Original Earth

“They heard the Lord God walking about in the garden.” Genesis 3:8 NLT

Adam and Eve knew exactly what it sounded like when God was walking in Eden.

God walked regularly in Eden with Adam and Eve.

Satan has always worked to sever your personal relationship with God.

God walked on original earth without fire (after sin, that’s not the case).

Heaven will probably be like original earth; walking in relationship with God.

God literally walked with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.

Lord, I look forward to the day I can actually hear you walking close by. Until then, let me hear Your voice; guide me in Your ways each step of the way. In Jesus Name, Amen.

14. The Original Earth Was Physical & Very Good

“God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.” Genesis 1:31 NIV

Earth and all creation was physical, yet “very good.”

God’s entire physical creation was “very” good.

Satan worked to corrupt the “very good” place God had made.

Being “physical” doesn’t negate the characteristic of being “good.”

“Very good” things don’t “eat each other,” like natural selection suggests.

The original earth was literally good in every possible way.

Lord, thank You for creating such a “very good” place for us to live. I pray for resurrection and restoration to come soon; make it “very good” once again. In Jesus Name, Amen.

13. Original Earth, The 1st Of 5 Earths In Scripture

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was empty, a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of God was hovering over its surface. Then God said, Let there be light, and there was light.” Genesis 1:1-3 NLT

The original earth was good and perfect in every way possible. Yet physical.

God created original earth as a place to be with His favorite creation, mankind.

Satan wants you to believe everything happened by accident instead of by God.

Earth is God’s personal creation, and He spoke it into existence by His power.

Heaven and earth were both created at the same time, the beginning or our time.

Evolution isn’t how earth came into existence; God created it out of nothing.

God literally created earth in the beginning; it’s didn’t form from an explosion.

Lord, I praise You for Your creation! What a great artist & scientist You are!
