Our God is full of love and mercy. Let's go back to Genesis chapter 3. Review the story of the fall of Adam and Eve. I call this the solicitation of imputation. The curse came by unbelief! They (Adam and Eve) had one rule from God. Do not eat from that tree! So, they ate! Then they thought that they could hide from God! They only solicited His righteous anger! Hebrews 9:22 declares that without the shedding of blood there can be no remission of sin! Leviticus 17:11 says, for the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement (at one meant) for your souls. Matthew 26:28: Jesus said, "I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it with you in my father's Kingdom." Back to Genesis chapter 3. God looked, actually knew, exactly where Adam and Eve were, and He confronted them! God knew what they were "trying" to hide by their fig leaves! There is no hiding from shame! God made them some holy clothes from animal skins! You might call them robes of righteousness. What was that? It was a sacrifice of blood! A picture of the cross! These clothes imputed God's righteousness to them. His mercy sparked faith in their souls. They were afraid because God had warned that disobedience would cause them to die! Genesis 2:17. In Titus 1,2 according to the faith, the acknowledgement of the truth (we know) which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised. Titus 1:3: God, in due time, manifested His word through Jesus, on the cross, blood sacrifice for all who believe! So, God always stands by His Word! His Book reveals everything! He warned them! Today, the warning still stands. He is calling all to trust Him. Isaiah 61:10: "I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garments. Of salvation, He has covered me with a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments." The world is bleeding.
