Garden of Eden & You Ministry

Our mission is to effectively share the catastrophic effects and importance of the fall that took place in the Garden of Eden and how the fall relates to man and man's immediate need for the Savior.

Garden of Eden & You Ministry is built on the Doctrine of Imputed Sin or the Original Sin.  Imputed Sin or Original Sin is the disobedient act of Adam in the Eden. This one act was imputed to and caused death upon the entire human family.  Every person born since, inherited the sin of Adam & Eve.  

"When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned... For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." Romans 5:12,19 NLT

All humans have been made sinners by one act of Adam, on our behalf.  This act has made us enemies of God and His wrath has been sentenced upon us. Remember, God is by nature Holy, righteous, and Just. He must punish the sinner. Again, God must punish the sinner! Therefore, the sinner must be saved from God!

"Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others." Ephesians 2:3 (KJV)

"Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost." 1 Thessalonians 2:16

Personal sins are sins, that humanity commits in our flesh by actions or thoughts. We sin without trying and without ceasing.

Personal Sins are divided into two categories. 

1. Sins of commission- acts of disobedient 

2. Sins of omission- failure to do that what is right

Personal sins will not prevent anyone from entering God’s kingdom. Just as personal righteousness will not place anyone into the Kingdom of God.

"God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it." Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT)

There is nothing can man can do to earn his salvation. Mankind's hands are dripping with the blood of their sins. Every attempt to work toward salvation is bloodstained and is repulsive to God. 

"But we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags.." Isaiah 64:6 (NKJV)

The knowledge and understanding of Imputed Sin is the foundation of Salvation. Without this knowledge, people are cannot fully grasps why they need the Savior. This is where religion comes into the picture. Religion is the opposite of a saving relationship with the one true God.

In fact, religion is the greatest enemy of The Kingdom of God. In religion mankind is attempting to please or receive favor from a deity through their faith or good deeds. Relying on one’s religious credentials is deceptive and very dangerous. 

Religion denies three things: 

1. Human Nature is Evil 

2. Man is Born Separated from God 

3. Work’s cannot be Offered to God 

Religion also, teaches humanity to stay away from God’s righteousness claiming that mankind can come to God apart from Christ Jesus. Because humanity does not have the power within himself to accomplish this God has to call us to Christ by His Holy Spirit.

"For no one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them to me, and at the last day I will raise them up." John 6:44 (NLT)
