It is important to emphasize that the Gospel centers in the death and resurrection of Jesus. In 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 Paul sums up its message in three historical facts: “Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures... He was buried... He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.
The Bible is God's own Word. It is God's great gift to all people everywhere.
Surely this account is one among countless indications that the Bible is not a work of merely human authorship. Moses is generally accepted as the author of the creation record.

Is it too much to suggest that Eve came to Adam on the arm of the Lord Himself in the same way that a bride today walks down the aisle of the church on her father's arm?

For the most part, the people who are currently in Satan's kingdom don't realize where they really are, because it is a kingdom of darkness, and they can't 'see' it. In contrast, the kingdom of God is the kingdom of light; therefore, those who are in His kingdom know where they are.
Wherever you encounter domination, you can be sure that it is satanic. That is not how God rules people.

A faith that does not result in activity of any kind is a dead faith; it is empty, worthless, insincere.
Every father represents God to his family. That is not an option! The question is, Do you as a father represent God rightly or wrongly?
Fasting deals with the two great barriers to the Holy Spirit that are erected by man's carnal nature. These are the stubborn self-will of the soul and the insistent self-gratifying appetites of the body.
Consider the work of Calvary. A perfect work, perfect in every respect, perfect in every aspect.
