THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE

THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE

Genesis 1-3

THEME:
To show that Christ alone gives a covering for sin.
          Today we begin a journey. Let us pretend we are travelers traveling the long, long road
which we call  THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE. It is the road which begins  in the garden of  Eden
where the life of mankind began on this earth. It ends with the kingdom of God on this earth.
           Those who journey need a road map or guidebook. God has given us His Word, the
Bible, for that very purpose. Psalms 119:105. We need God’s guidebook and we will use it all
along the way. We will meet many other travelers as we move along THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE.
We will find many travelers who are going their own way, but all will travel side by side until
judgment comes. The Bible tells us: “There is a way which seems right to a man, but its end is
the way of death.” Proverbs 14:12. All who travel this highway must choose which way they will
go.
            Those who travel must also know the rules of the road. We will find that God’s travel
laws have been different  at some times and places from what they were at other times and
places. In the age in which we live now, the laws are very different from what they were in the
days of Adam and Eve, the first people. Obedience to the travel laws on THE HIGHWAY OF
LIFE means the difference between life and death.
             The time in which we live today is represented on the chart as GRACE AIRPORT. You
will learn why it is called GRACE AIRPORT as we travel along.
                We will roll back the time about 6000 years to begin our journey in the beautiful
garden of Eden. Here we see Adam and Eve. If we look in our guidebook, the Bible, we can
read the story of what happened to the first travelers on THE HIGHWAY OF LIFE.
To Adam and Eve were given special travel laws. We read about them in Genesis 2:16-
17. Especially they were told not to eat of one particular tree in the garden called the tree of
the knowledge of good and evil. All was perfect until the day the tempter, the enemy of God
and man, spoke to Eve. He questioned God’s Word, he lied and Eve believed him instead of
God. Eve looked, took, ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree, and gave to Adam who ate also.
Then their eyes opened to see sin, whereas before they were innocent. They now saw
themselves guilty and naked before God and they greatly feared. They had chosen the way of
death. “The wages of sin is death.” Romans 6:23
