For this purpose the Lord God created man Adam, and after sin gave him a second chance of life, and with the direction of walking in life with reverential fear for his creator; “the worship in spirit and truth. The word reveals to worship in truth and in fear, and this means to worship the creator in truth of spirit (heart). This is the divine design, and it was with this divine principle and purpose that God gave life to man Adam and created him in his image and likeness: “And God said: Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness;”... And God created man in his image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. ” (Genesis 1: 26th,27).

Man Adam when having existence as a perfect act of divine creation; God made him holy and pure Adam to be in his divine and holy presence, and, having received from the LORD, a life in abundance to reproduce and multiply, and to live eternally in the wonderful divine presence of the Lord Jesus the King of Glory, and, eternally with the well-being to feed the body and soul: “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Fruit and multiply, (...)” (Genesis 1: 28a).

Both Adam would multiply in the garden of Eden as long as the divine principles of Jesus lived: that by faith they were simple and easy to understand by the continuity of eternal life of the soul, and always with eternal well-being of the body together from the full trinity of God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit.

In sinning man Adam lost this intimate coexistence with God the Father, and lost his full well-being in sanctification of spirit, as it was by the blessing of the principle for which the Lord created him to live in holiness and perfection of spirit in Eden. But the infinite love of the Lord God for man created in his image and likeness, gave man Adam a new opportunity of life as a sinner; but not to sin, for sin the Lord abhors and does not look through it, only looks through the Son, as his Word says:

“ But the Son says: O God, thy throne endureth for ever and ever. Scepter of equity is the scepter of thy kingdom. Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity: therefore God thy God hath anointed thee with oil of joy more than thy companions. ” (Hebrews 1: 8, 9).

With these words: "You loved righteousness and hated iniquity." Jesus the Son is anointed by his God and Father: and Jesus with immeasurable and unconditional love endured the pain of the cross, and the humiliation of sin practiced by man Adam, and, helpless by his Father, in Calvary overcame death and sin.

With the divine anointing received from his God and Father the Lord Jesus annihilated sin and conquered death to save man Adam. And he offered Jesus to the sinful man Adam a second anointing through this act of divine love, and, offered solely by Jesus as the greatest victory of mankind, by the cross of Calvary; to exclusively anoint the sinful Adam man with the robes of salvation, and with this act of unconditional and immeasurable love received the blessing of the anointing of his Holy Spirit: “ And the Lord God made Adam and his wife fur coats, and clothed them.” (Genesis 3: 21).

And the Lord God wearing both Adam after the feeding error covered their nakedness and their sin with the skin of an animal that needed to be sacrificed. Thus the Lord offered a new opportunity of life for man Adam to continue in his wonderful and sovereign divine presence through his beloved Son Christ Jesus: “Because God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, (...)” (John 3: 16a).
