God's Plan For Man Final

sacrifice; however, the choice is ours. It is easy to mistakenly relate justice as punishment, thinking God punishes us for our mistakes, but God does not render punishment. Satan does. The consequences or fruits of the tree of knowledge were an awareness of right from wrong, good from evil. The fruit on the tree of knowledge was an option of choice. The choice was obedience to God or Satan, choosing one over the other. However, choice has a predetermined result, which is now clearly understood by the conflict in the Garden of Eden. Too many people in this world think God is cruel, and blame God for all the wrongs or disasters. Such thinking is always wrong because it is a pronouncement or a projection, as Satan or the devil perceives justice only that way.

Correct choice moves the player forward, and wrong choice moves the player backwards. The tactics are based on the accuracy of the choices made. The coach for the home team [God] encourages each of his players to be wise, to see and avoid the deceptive objects, and to proceed straight through the middle to score a goal. The opposing coach [Satan] encourages his players to confuse their opponents, make loud noises to discourage and distract, and use deception or the façade of smoke and mirrors, causing opposing players to make wrong choices and move backwards.

Victory comes to the player or team that repeatedly uses wisdom for the
