Genesis

The Cross Was Always Going to Be Needed

Why did God create humanity when He knew Adam would sin? I have begun to think that the question itself starts too late. If God chose to create genuinely free beings with finite minds, capable of thinking, reasoning, loving and choosing, then the Cross was always going to be needed. From Lucifer to Eve, Adam and Cain, Scripture reveals the consequences of created freedom — and behind it all stands the Lamb, already in the purpose of God before the foundation of the world.

The Image God Refused to Abandon

Why did God allow the Fall? Why didn’t He simply begin again? The opening chapters of Genesis raise profound questions that Scripture does not answer directly. Yet by carefully following the biblical narrative, we can glimpse something of the astonishing wisdom and love of God. These reflections are not presented as doctrine, but as reverent meditation on how Eden, the Cross and God’s purpose for humanity may be connected.
