Gift of God's Mercy

Adam and Eve were exiled from Eden and prevented from getting to the tree of life. This is God’s mercy because salvation will come through the death of God’s promised one. God’s mercy is also seen in the covering God made from animal skin…as well as God’s presence with them outside of Eden.

Purpose

The purpose of this series is to explore the biblical theme of wilderness so that we can experience comfort and encouragement to trust God. 

Summary

The wilderness is a brutal place of testing. Alone. Dark. Weary. Afraid. Yet…in that very place, God reveals himself. Like a lamp that illuminates only one step at a time, he, himself, leads us through the wilderness. As he does, he offers good gifts to those who trust him. These gifts of mercy, growth, provision, and reconciliation to himself are all wrapped up in the love of God unleashed into the world through the Son, the light of the world.
