Genesis 3: 17 And unto Adam he said, because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded you saying, thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life.
It was never something that God did to the human family, and therefore, the curse, as it pertains to our eventual demise is just the natural result/ byproduct of disobedience. Be very careful of the perspectives in the world, as it pertains to what God did, or did not do. Some persons reading this account may erroneously fault God for doing such and such. But many people fail to realize that the devil is in the details, for there are natural consequences, including being accursed, especially when a deliberate decision to do wrong is made by persons who have jurisdiction.
When God cursed the ground, He simply stated the natural results of sowing and reaping that would be commencing. When persons get separated from the source of life, their lives would eventually fade into oblivion. Not that God would be doing something to them perse. The time is coming when God will purify the earth by fire, and there have been certain instances in the history of our planet, when, because of deliberate sin and unrepentant hearts, it became necessary to intervene.
And God did do things unto persons and nations, as was the case with Sodom and Gomorrah. But as a general rule, the accursed thing occurs as a direct result of deliberate conscious evils, in most of the instances, and the destruction or adverse results which follow, often occur whenever the restraining power of God is removed, as a result of the sin…. Genesis 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field.
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
