God spoke to man and said, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat but of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it, for in the day you eat thereof you shall surely die.” (Gen. 2: 16,17). God himself proclaimed the penalty of death as the consequence of the crime he described. This was His law.
Sin is the opposite of God, an exact 180 of his essence and character. Sin is repulsive to God. There is no gray area with God. With God, there is only right and wrong. You either did wrong or you didn’t do wrong. You are with God, or you are without God. Mankind, unfortunately, crossed the line God drew in the sand. With that crossing, the sentence of death was required.
Almighty God is sovereign with nothing or no one greater or having higher authority than He. He is supreme. He does not lie. If Almighty God said death would be the penalty of sin, then death would surely be the penalty.
God is life (John 1:4a), satan is death (John 10:10). Satan is the exact opposite of God. In fact, the name satan means the opposer.
In the book of John chapter 10 verse 18, Jesus says, no man takes my life! “I have the power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again”. In fact, Jesus laid down his life; he died by choice (John 10:15).
Arising from death indicated God is ALL POWERFUL and there is nothing or no one greater than He. This proves God to be True and Faithful. God did not just Tell us who he is, He Showed us who he is. He is Almighty God!
