WE ARE WHAT WE EAT

With his beady eyes darting to either side, Lydel—a crafty old “chicken” snake— sidled over to Adam and Eve in the stillness of the day.
Leaning up against the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he popped in a stick of “Dentyne Fire” and asked Eve, “Has God forbid you to eat the fruit of these trees?”
“Just the one you’re standing under. He said the day we eat the fruit from this one, we would surly die.”
“Die!” Lydel exclaimed incredulously. “Trust me, you will not die; truth is you will become just like God.”
“Well, what can one bite hurt? Looks good . . . feels good . . . hey! This is good.”
“Here Adam, take a bite.”
Adam, who had said nothing to this point, remained sinfully silent.
“Come on sweetie, if you love me, you’ll prove it.”
Adam took the fruit, “Your right, this is great! Sort of tastes like—”
“Honey? . . . what’s wrong?” Eve asked.
“My stomach is killin—”

We are what we eat; what Adam ate has been eating us all ever since. Ever since that fateful day man’s life has orbited around the three things that make up the essence of the forbidden fruit:

1. It became our nature to willfully disobey. This sin is fueled by the hot air of pride that supposes we can be like the most high God.
2. It became our nature to entertain vain imaginations because we lost the eternal image of God. How much of what you think about has actually come to pass? If it has come to pass, how much have you been able to hold onto?
3. It became our nature to choose the temporal over the eternal. From French Fries chosen over celery sticks, to porn over purity, we eat ourselves to a early grave.

The only remedy for this food poisoning is the cross of Christ. The essence of the Blood of Christ is the Life and Light of God: His thoughts, His purity, His wholeness. Be washed in the Blood of Jesus today!
