Exposed


   Genesis 3
       -Fellowship with God could not have been better.  Adam and Eve walked and talked with God on a daily basis.
    I John 2:3-4
     -Communion with Christ can only exist when we live in His will.  In the garden of Eden, God gave them a command and when they disobeyed, they lost a beautiful relationship.  Even though it has not been restored totally, it has been restored to a large degree.  Jesus Christ came to make peace with us, and now we can commune with Him, but not yet walk with Him in a physical way.  When Adam and Eve  disobeyed God, immediately they felt exposed.  They had a guilt complex, which was to show them their wrong.  When God came to them and asked them what happened, even though they felt exposed they needed to willfully expose their sin to God, but instead they babied it, and tried to hide it and all was lost
How many times do we deal with a guilt complex?  We do something wrong and then quick look around to see if anyone saw us.  We forget that God sees all.  We tend to baby our sins, put them on a leash so they don’t get the best of us, and go on.
I will now introduce you to the concept of evolution.  This sin that we put on the leash will evolve into a massive giant if we don’t expose it to God.  He will break his leash and then we will have a real mess on our hands.  Expose your sins immediately,  own up to it and then kill  that pet sin and relationship with God  can be restored.  I John 1:9 “If we confess our sins to God, He can be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away.”
When we sin and do not expose it before God, the nakedness of our soul will drive us into deeper sin which will further ruin us.  Throughout our sinful life God will turn us over to Satan, so wee see how hard he really is.  Satan has continuously fed us a lie; “no one will ever know”, but all we need to do is remember “God will” .  I am not really for fear of being caught as the reason for not doing evil, but we need to remember who we are under.
Proverbs 13:13 “If you reject God’s teaching, you will pay the price.”  Proverbs 15:10  “If you turn from the right way you will be punished.”  Proverbs 28:13,14 “If you don’t confess your sins, you will be a failure. God will be merciful if you confess your  sins, and give them up.  The Lord blesses everyone who is afraid to do evil, but if you are cruel, you will end up in trouble.
