(Not) Seeing and Believingනියැදිය

Opened eyes
When God created the first human couple, they were perfect, sinless, and happy. But they were not like God. They were limited in their understanding of good and evil, and God had forbidden them to eat of “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil”. So, when the devil tried to lure them into sin, he referred to this prohibition. He told them that eating from this tree would open their eyes and make them like God.
His scheme worked. Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit and behold, their eyes were opened! But what they saw was a nasty shock. “Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked” (Genesis 3:7). Adam and Eve did not receive supernatural knowledge and become like God, but their eyes were opened for their nakedness (which had not been a problem before) and their sinfulness (which had not existed before). They were ashamed and hid from their Creator. Their innocence and happiness were gone. Now they knew evil — by experience! How much happier would they have been if they had trusted in God’s love and care...
Have your eyes been opened to see what’s in your heart? Do you like what you see there?

About this Plan

“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen”, it says in Hebrews 11:1. The Christian faith is largely about things you can’t see with your natural eyes. However, you need not believe blindly. When God opens your spiritual eyes, there is a lot to see! This reading plan covers several Bible verses about blindness, restored sight, (not) seeing, and believing.
