Jesus Spirit and Life
God had commanded Adam and Eve, if they ate from the tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, they will die. Did anyone die? Is God a liar? Actually there was a death, the spiritual death of humanity. Spirit means everything connected with God. And human-God connection died. There was a disconnect. But God did promise to put everything back in order (Gen 3:15).
Mercy and Compassion
There is a process of life that is applicable to all humanity. What decisions we make, big or small, not so important, or less important, they all become binding on us, and on our family. This is so because God has given every human being freedom, the ability to understand the nature of things and also to make binding decisions, for self and family.
