It was not God who drove man out from Paradise , but it was man who drove out God from his own world : with his unbelief, turning away , disobedience , distrust.
The world had a realistic chance for Adam and Eve-the first couple-and mankind to make a decision by God , Love . The story of mankind could have continued like that as well if they would have said “yes” to Him, and could have lived in harmony with Him and one another as well.
What is beautiful , that every page of the Holy Scripture is about God calling us again and again, He would like to win-over mankind and would like to embrace all of us personally and one by one to Himself . The decision is ours , whether we accept the outstretched hand towards us or we reject it, the world’s fate depends on our decisions . What is remarkable that for God there is no life that drifted once and for all into a dead-end street . The match , whilst we are alive ,is not called off .
