Wah, gak kerasa 1 bulan di 2017 uda berlalu loh ya. Kiss goodbye to January and say hello with love to February. Gimana nih teman-teman? Apa aja yang sudah kamu lakukan atau kamu capai di bulan Januari?

Saya mulai hari ini mengikuti guidance untuk pembacaan alkitab 1 tahun.
Mulai 01 Februari 2017 - 31 Januari 2018.

Bacaan hari ini dari Kejadian 1 - 3.
Banyak point yang saya dapatkan untuk jadi bahan renungan dari Kejadian 1 - 3.

Diingatkan kembali penciptaan manusia itu khusus loh.
Tuhan yang membentuk kita dengan tangan-Nya dan kita dihembuskan nafas kehidupan dari Tuhan.
Kita diciptakan serupa dengan gambaran Tuhan. Kita gak diciptakan dengan sembarangan, sudah sepantasnya kita menjaga diri kita dengan baik sebagai tanda syukur kita kepada Tuhan. Ingatlah, kita hadir di dunia ini bukan karena suatu kebetulan.

Kejadian 1:1-31
(1)Pada mulanya Allah menciptakan langit dan bumi. (2)Bumi belum berbentuk dan kosong; gelap gulita menutupi samudera raya, dan Roh Allah melayang-layang di atas permukaan air.
(3) Berfirmanlah Allah: “Jadilah terang.” Lalu terang itu jadi. (4)Allah melihat bahwa terang itu baik, lalu dipisahkan-Nyalah terang itu dari gelap. (5)Dan Allah menamai terang itu siang, dan gelap itu malam. Jadilah petang dan jadilah pagi, itulah hari pertama.
(6) Berfirmanlah Allah: “Jadilah cakrawala di tengah segala air untuk memisahkan air dari air.” (7)Maka Allah menjadikan cakrawala dan Ia memisahkan air yang ada di bawah cakrawala itu dari air yang ada di atasnya. Dan jadilah demikian. (8)Lalu Allah menamai cakrawala itu langit. Jadilah petang dan jadilah pagi, itulah hari kedua.
(9)Berfirmanlah Allah: “Hendaklah segala air yang di bawah langit berkumpul pada satu tempat, sehingga kelihatan yang kering.” Dan jadilah demikian. (10)Lalu Allah menamai yang kering itu darat, dan kumpulan air itu dinamai-Nya laut. Allah melihat bahwa semuanya itu baik.
(11)Berfirmanlah Allah: “Hendaklah tanah menumbuhkan tunas-tunas muda, tumbuh-tumbuhan yang berbiji, segala jenis pohon buah-buahan yang menghasilkan buah yang berbiji, supaya ada tumbuh-tumbuhan di bumi.” Dan jadilah demikian. (12)Tanah itu menumbuhkan tunas-tunas muda, segala jenis tumbuh-tumbuhan yang berbiji dan segala jenis pohon-pohonan yang menghasilkan buah yang berbiji. Allah melihat bahwa semuanya itu baik. (13)Jadilah petang dan jadilah pagi, itulah hari ketiga.
(14)Berfirmanlah Allah: “Jadilah benda-benda penerang pada cakrawala untuk memisahkan siang dari malam. Biarlah benda-benda penerang itu menjadi tanda yang menunjukkan masa-masa yang tetap dan hari-hari dan tahun-tahun, (15)dan sebagai penerang pada cakrawala biarlah benda-benda itu menerangi bumi.” Dan jadilah demikian. (16)Maka Allah menjadikan kedua benda penerang yang besar itu, yakni yang lebih besar untuk menguasai siang dan yang lebih kecil untuk menguasai malam, dan menjadikan juga bintang-bintang. (17)Allah menaruh semuanya itu di cakrawala untuk menerangi bumi, (18)dan untuk menguasai siang dan malam, dan untuk memisahkan terang dari gelap. Allah melihat bahwa semuanya itu baik. (19)Jadilah petang dan jadilah pagi, itulah hari keempat.
(20)Berfirmanlah Allah: “Hendaklah dalam air berkeriapan makhluk yang hidup, dan hendaklah burung beterbangan di atas bumi melintasi cakrawala.” (21)Maka Allah menciptakan binatang-binatang laut yang besar dan segala jenis makhluk hidup yang bergerak, yang berkeriapan dalam air, dan segala jenis burung yang bersayap. Allah melihat bahwa semuanya itu baik. (22)Lalu Allah memberkati semuanya itu, firman-Nya: “Berkembangbiaklah dan bertambah banyaklah serta penuhilah air dalam laut, dan hendaklah burung-burung di bumi bertambah banyak.” (23)Jadilah petang dan jadilah pagi, itulah hari kelima.
(24)Berfirmanlah Allah: “Hendaklah bumi mengeluarkan segala jenis makhluk yang hidup, ternak dan binatang melata dan segala jenis binatang liar.” Dan jadilah demikian. (25)Allah menjadikan segala jenis binatang liar dan segala jenis ternak dan segala jenis binatang melata di muka bumi. Allah melihat bahwa semuanya itu baik.
(26)Berfirmanlah Allah: “Baiklah Kita menjadikan manusia menurut gambar dan rupa Kita, supaya mereka berkuasa atas ikan-ikan di laut dan burung-burung di udara dan atas ternak dan atas seluruh bumi dan atas segala binatang melata yang merayap di bumi.” (27) Maka Allah menciptakan manusia itu menurut gambar-Nya, menurut gambar Allah diciptakan-Nya dia; laki-laki dan perempuan diciptakan-Nya mereka. (28)Allah memberkati mereka, lalu Allah berfirman kepada mereka: “Beranakcuculah dan bertambah banyak; penuhilah bumi dan taklukkanlah itu, berkuasalah atas ikan-ikan di laut dan burung-burung di udara dan atas segala binatang yang merayap di bumi.”(29)Berfirmanlah Allah: “Lihatlah, Aku memberikan kepadamu segala tumbuh-tumbuhan yang berbiji di seluruh bumi dan segala pohon-pohonan yang buahnya berbiji; itulah akan menjadi makananmu. (30)Tetapi kepada segala binatang di bumi dan segala burung di udara dan segala yang merayap di bumi, yang bernyawa, Kuberikan segala tumbuh-tumbuhan hijau menjadi makanannya.” Dan jadilah demikian. (31)Maka Allah melihat segala yang dijadikan-Nya itu, sungguh amat baik. Jadilah petang dan jadilah pagi, itulah hari keenam.

Kejadian 2 : 1 - 25
(1)Demikianlah diselesaikan langit dan bumi dan segala isinya. (2) Ketika Allah pada hari ketujuh telah menyelesaikan pekerjaan yang dibuat-Nya itu, berhentilah Ia pada hari ketujuh dari segala pekerjaan yang telah dibuat-Nya itu. (3)Lalu Allah memberkati hari ketujuh itu dan menguduskannya, karena pada hari itulah Ia berhenti dari segala pekerjaan penciptaan yang telah dibuat-Nya itu.
(4)Demikianlah riwayat langit dan bumi pada waktu diciptakan.
Ketika Tuhan Allah menjadikan bumi dan langit, -- (5)belum ada semak apa pun di bumi, belum timbul tumbuh-tumbuhan apa pun di padang, sebab Tuhan Allah belum menurunkan hujan ke bumi, dan belum ada orang untuk mengusahakan tanah itu; (6)tetapi ada kabut naik ke atas dari bumi dan membasahi seluruh permukaan bumi itu -- (7) ketika itulah Tuhan Allah membentuk manusia itu dari debu tanah dan menghembuskan nafas hidup ke dalam hidungnya; demikianlah manusia itu menjadi makhluk yang hidup.
(8)Selanjutnya Tuhan Allah membuat taman di Eden, di sebelah timur; disitulah ditempatkan-Nya manusia yang dibentuk-Nya itu. (9) Lalu Tuhan Allah menumbuhkan berbagai-bagai pohon dari bumi, yang menarik dan yang baik untuk dimakan buahnya; dan pohon kehidupan di tengah-tengah taman itu, serta pohon pengetahuan tentang yang baik dan yang jahat.
(10)Ada suatu sungai mengalir dari Eden untuk membasahi taman itu, dan dari situ sungai itu terbagi menjadi empat cabang. (11)Yang pertama, namanya Pison, yakni yang mengalir mengelilingi seluruh tanah Hawila, tempat emas ada. (12)Dan emas dari negeri itu baik; di sana ada damar bedolah dan batu krisopras. (13)Nama sungai yang kedua ialah Gihon, yakni yang mengalir mengelilingi seluruh tanah Kush. (14)Nama sungai yang ketiga ialah Tigris, yakni yang mengalir di sebelah timur Asyur. Dan sungai yang keempat ialah Efrat.
(15) Tuhan Allah mengambil manusia itu dan menempatkannya dalam taman Eden untuk mengusahakan dan memelihara taman itu. (16)Lalu Tuhan Allah memberi perintah ini kepada manusia: “Semua pohon dalam taman ini boleh kaumakan buahnya dengan bebas, (17)tetapi pohon pengetahuan tentang yang baik dan yang jahat itu, janganlah kaumakan buahnya, sebab pada hari engkau memakannya, pastilah engkau mati.”
(18) Tuhan Allah berfirman: “Tidak baik, kalau manusia itu seorang diri saja. Aku akan menjadikan penolong baginya, yang sepadan dengan dia.” (19)Lalu Tuhan Allah membentuk dari tanah segala binatang hutan dan segala burung di udara. Dibawa-Nyalah semuanya kepada manusia itu untuk melihat, bagaimana ia menamainya; dan seperti nama yang diberikan manusia itu kepada tiap-tiap makhluk yang hidup, demikianlah nanti nama makhluk itu. (20)Manusia itu memberi nama kepada segala ternak, kepada burung-burung di udara dan kepada segala binatang hutan, tetapi baginya sendiri ia tidak menjumpai penolong yang sepadan dengan dia. (21) Lalu Tuhan Allah membuat manusia itu tidur nyenyak; ketika ia tidur, Tuhan Allah mengambil salah satu rusuk dari padanya, lalu menutup tempat itu dengan daging. (22) Dan dari rusuk yang diambil Tuhan Allah dari manusia itu, dibangun-Nyalah seorang perempuan, lalu dibawa-Nya kepada manusia itu. (23) Lalu berkatalah manusia itu: “Inilah dia, tulang dari tulangku dan daging dari dagingku. Ia akan dinamai perempuan, sebab ia diambil dari laki-laki.” (24) Sebab itu seorang laki-laki akan meninggalkan ayahnya dan ibunya dan bersatu dengan isterinya, sehingga keduanya menjadi satu daging. (25)Mereka keduanya telanjang, manusia dan isterinya itu, tetapi mereka tidak merasa malu.

Kejadian 3 : 1 - 24
(1)Adapun ular ialah yang paling cerdik dari segala binatang di darat yang dijadikan oleh Tuhan Allah. Ular itu berkata kepada perempuan itu: “Tentulah Allah berfirman: Semua pohon dalam taman ini jangan kamu makan buahnya, bukan?” (2)Lalu sahut perempuan itu kepada ular itu: “Buah pohon-pohonan dalam taman ini boleh kami makan, (3)tetapi tentang buah pohon yang ada di tengah-tengah taman, Allah berfirman: Jangan kamu makan ataupun raba buah itu, nanti kamu mati.” (4)Tetapi ular itu berkata kepada perempuan itu: “Sekali-kali kamu tidak akan mati, (5)tetapi Allah mengetahui, bahwa pada waktu kamu memakannya matamu akan terbuka, dan kamu akan menjadi seperti Allah, tahu tentang yang baik dan yang jahat.” (6)Perempuan itu melihat, bahwa buah pohon itu baik untuk dimakan dan sedap kelihatannya, lagipula pohon itu menarik hati karena memberi pengertian. Lalu ia mengambil dari buahnya dan dimakannya dan diberikannya juga kepada suaminya yang bersama-sama dengan dia, dan suaminya pun memakannya. (7)Maka terbukalah mata mereka berdua dan mereka tahu, bahwa mereka telanjang; lalu mereka menyemat daun pohon ara dan membuat cawat.
(8)Ketika mereka mendengar bunyi langkah Tuhan Allah, yang berjalan-jalan dalam taman itu pada waktu hari sejuk, bersembunyilah manusia dan isterinya itu terhadap Tuhan Allah di antara pohon-pohonan dalam taman.
(9)Tetapi Tuhan Allah memanggil manusia itu dan berfirman kepadanya: “Di manakah engkau?” (10)Ia menjawab: “Ketika aku mendengar, bahwa Engkau ada dalam taman ini, aku menjadi takut, karena aku telanjang; sebab itu aku bersembunyi.” (11)Firman-Nya: “Siapakah yang memberitahukan kepadamu, bahwa engkau telanjang? Apakah engkau makan dari buah pohon, yang Kularang engkau makan itu?” (12)Manusia itu menjawab: “Perempuan yang Kautempatkan di sisiku, dialah yang memberi dari buah pohon itu kepadaku, maka kumakan.” (13) Kemudian berfirmanlah Tuhan Allah kepada perempuan itu: “Apakah yang telah kauperbuat ini?” Jawab perempuan itu: “Ular itu yang memperdayakan aku, maka kumakan.” (14)Lalu berfirmanlah Tuhan Allah kepada ular itu: “Karena engkau berbuat demikian, terkutuklah engkau di antara segala ternak dan di antara segala binatang hutan; dengan perutmulah engkau akan menjalar dan debu tanahlah akan kaumakan seumur hidupmu. (15) Aku akan mengadakan permusuhan antara engkau dan perempuan ini, antara keturunanmu dan keturunannya; keturunannya akan meremukkan kepalamu, dan engkau akan meremukkan tumitnya.” (16)Firman-Nya kepada perempuan itu: “Susah payahmu waktu mengandung akan Kubuat sangat banyak; dengan kesakitan engkau akan melahirkan anakmu; namun engkau akan berahi kepada suamimu dan ia akan berkuasa atasmu.” (17) Lalu firman-Nya kepada manusia itu: “Karena engkau mendengarkan perkataan isterimu dan memakan dari buah pohon, yang telah Kuperintahkan kepadamu: Jangan makan dari padanya, maka terkutuklah tanah karena engkau; dengan bersusah payah engkau akan mencari rezekimu dari tanah seumur hidupmu: (18)semak duri dan rumput duri yang akan dihasilkannya bagimu, dan tumbuh-tumbuhan di padang akan menjadi makananmu; (19)dengan berpeluh engkau akan mencari makananmu, sampai engkau kembali lagi menjadi tanah, karena dari situlah engkau diambil; sebab engkau debu dan engkau akan kembali menjadi debu.”
(20)Manusia itu memberi nama Hawa kepada isterinya, sebab dialah yang menjadi ibu semua yang hidup.
(21)Dan Tuhan Allah membuat pakaian dari kulit binatang untuk manusia dan untuk isterinya itu, lalu mengenakannya kepada mereka.
(22) Berfirmanlah Tuhan Allah: “Sesungguhnya manusia itu telah menjadi seperti salah satu dari Kita, tahu tentang yang baik dan yang jahat; maka sekarang jangan sampai ia mengulurkan tangannya dan mengambil pula dari buah pohon kehidupan itu dan memakannya, sehingga ia hidup untuk selama-lamanya.” (23)Lalu Tuhan Allah mengusir dia dari taman Eden supaya ia mengusahakan tanah dari mana ia diambil. (24)Ia menghalau manusia itu dan di sebelah timur taman Eden ditempatkan-Nyalah beberapa kerub dengan pedang yang bernyala-nyala dan menyambar-nyambar, untuk menjaga jalan ke pohon kehidupan. 

Yang membuat saya lebih terharu adalah di pasal 3, manusia jatuh dalam dosa dan Tuhan bisa saja marah dan menghukum manusia dengan kematian saat itu juga, tapi nyatanya kesalahan kita itu pun tidak melunturkan kasih Tuhan kepada kita, buktinya Tuhan dengan tangannya sendiri membuat pakaian bagi Adam dan Hawa karena kasih-Nya kepada manusia ciptaan-Nya (ayat 21).

Jika kamu merasa kamu tidak layak karena dosamu, ingatlah, Tuhan tetap mengasihimu apapun keadaanmu,, dan hanya Dia satu-satunya pribadi yang bisa mengasihimu sebegitu besarnya.
Datang kepada Tuhan, minta pengampunan. Tinggallah dalam kasih-Nya.

GBU!

Wow, time flies, 1 month from 2017 already gone. Kiss goodbye to January and say hello with love to February. So, guys, what have you done or achieved in January?

Start from today I follow guidance to read whole bible in 1 year. Start from 01 February 2017 to 31 January 2018.

Today's reading from Genesis 1 - 3.
Many points I got from today's reading.

I am reminded that creation of human is so special. God created us using His hands and gave us a breath of life. We are created in God image. That's why we should take care of ourselves as a sign of our gratitude to God. Please remember, we are coming to this world not because of coincidence.

Genesis 1:1-31 (AMP)
(1)In the beginning God (Elohim) created [by forming from nothing] the heavens and the earth. (2) The earth was formless and void or a waste and emptiness, and darkness was upon the face of the deep [primeval ocean that covered the unformed earth]. The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the waters. (3)And God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. (4) God saw that the light was good (pleasing, useful) and He affirmed and sustained it; and God separated the light [distinguishing it] from the darkness. (5)And God called the light day, and the darkness He called night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.
(6) And God said, “Let there be an expanse [of the sky] in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters [below the expanse] from the waters [above the expanse].” (7) And God made the expanse [of sky] and separated the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so [just as He commanded]. (8) God called the expanse [of sky] heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day.
(9) Then God said, “Let the waters below the heavens be gathered into one place [of standing, pooling together], and let the dry land appear”; and it was so. (10) God called the dry land earth, and the gathering of the waters He called seas; and God saw that this was good (pleasing, useful) and He affirmed and sustained it. (11) So God said, “Let the earth sprout [tender] vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit according to (limited to, consistent with) their kind, whose seed is in them upon the earth”; and it was so. (12) The earth sprouted and abundantly produced vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, according to their kind; and God saw that it was good and He affirmed and sustained it. (13) And there was evening and there was morning, a third day.
(14) Then God said, “Let there be light-bearers (sun, moon, stars) in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be useful for signs (tokens) [of God’s provident care], and for marking seasons, days, and years; (15) and let them be useful as lights in the expanse of the heavens to provide light on the earth”; and it was so, [just as He commanded]. (16) God made the two great lights--the greater light (the sun) to rule the day, and the lesser light (the moon) to rule the night; He made the [galaxies of] stars also [that is, all the amazing wonders in the heavens]. (17) God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to provide light upon the earth, (18) to rule over the day and the night, and to separate the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good and He affirmed and sustained it. (19) And there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.
(20) Then God said, “Let the waters swarm and abundantly produce living creatures, and let birds soar above the earth in the open expanse of the heavens.” (21)God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed according to their kind, and every winged bird according to its kind; and God saw that it was good and He affirmed and sustained it. (22) And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” (23) And there was evening and there was morning, a fifth day.
(24) Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to (limited to, consistent with) their kind: livestock, crawling things, and wild animals of the earth according to their kinds”; and it was so [because He had spoken them into creation]. (25) So God made the wild animals of the earth according to their kind, and the cattle according to their kind, and everything that creeps and crawls on the earth according to its kind; and God saw that it was good (pleasing, useful) and He affirmed and sustained it.
(26) Then God said, “Let Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) make man in Our image, according to Our likeness [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness]; and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the cattle, and over the entire earth, and over everything that creeps and crawls on the earth.” (27) So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them. (28) And God blessed them [granting them certain authority] and said to them, “Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, and subjugate it [putting it under your power]; and rule over (dominate) the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves upon the earth.” (29) So God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the surface of the entire earth, and every tree which has fruit yielding seed; it shall be food for you; (30) and to all the animals on the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that moves on the ground--to everything in which there is the breath of life--I have given every green plant for food”; and it was so [because He commanded it]. (31) God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good and He validated it completely. And there was evening and there was morning, a sixth day.

Genesis 2 : 1 - 25 (AMP)
(1)So the heavens and the earth were completed, and all their hosts (inhabitants). (2) And by the seventh day God completed His work which He had done, and He rested (ceased) on the seventh day from all His work which He had done. (3) So God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it [as His own, that is, set it apart as holy from other days], because in it He rested from all His work which He had created and done.
(4) This is the history of [the origin of] the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day [that is, days of creation] that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens-- (5) no shrub or plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprouted, for the Lord God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the ground, (6) but a mist (fog, dew, vapor) used to rise from the land and water the entire surface of the ground-- (7) then the Lord God formed [that is, created the body of] man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and the man became a living being [an individual complete in body and spirit]. (8) And the Lord God planted a garden (oasis) in the east, in Eden (delight, land of happiness); and He put the man whom He had formed (created) there. (9) And [in that garden] the Lord God caused to grow from the ground every tree that is desirable and pleasing to the sight and good (suitable, pleasant) for food; the tree of life was also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the [experiential] knowledge (recognition) of [the difference between] good and evil.
(10) Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four [branching] rivers. (11) The first [river] is named Pishon; it flows around the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. (12) The gold of that land is good; bdellium (a fragrant, valuable resin) and the onyx stone are found there. (13) The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the entire land of Cush [in Mesopotamia]. (14) The third river is named Hiddekel (Tigris); it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
(15) So the Lord God took the man [He had made] and settled him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate and keep it. (16) And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may freely (unconditionally) eat [the fruit] from every tree of the garden; (17) but [only] from the tree of the knowledge (recognition) of good and evil you shall not eat, otherwise on the day that you eat from it, you shall most certainly die [because of your disobedience].”
(18) Now the Lord God said, “It is not good (beneficial) for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper [one who balances him--a counterpart who is] suitable and complementary for him.” (19) So the Lord God formed out of the ground every animal of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. (20) And the man gave names to all the livestock, and to the birds of the air, and to every animal of the field; but for Adam there was not found a helper [that was] suitable (a companion) for him. (21) So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam; and while he slept, He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. (22) And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man He made (fashioned, formed) into a woman, and He brought her and presented her to the man. (23) Then Adam said,
“This is now bone of my bones,
And flesh of my flesh;
She shall be called Woman,
Because she was taken out of Man.”
(24) For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. (25) And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed or embarrassed.

Genesis 3 : 1 - 24 (AMP)
(1)Now the serpent was more crafty (subtle, skilled in deceit) than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And the serpent (Satan) said to the woman, “Can it really be that God has said, ‘You shall not eat from any tree of the garden’?” (2) And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees of the garden, (3) except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God said, ‘You shall not eat from it nor touch it, otherwise you will die.’” (4) But the serpent said to the woman, “You certainly will not die! (5) For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened [that is, you will have greater awareness], and you will be like God, knowing [the difference between] good and evil.” (6) And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise and insightful, she took some of its fruit and ate it; and she also gave some to her husband with her, and he ate. (7) Then the eyes of the two of them were opened [that is, their awareness increased], and they knew that they were naked; and they fastened fig leaves together and made themselves coverings.
(8) And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool [afternoon breeze] of the day, so the man and his wife hid and kept themselves hidden from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. (9) But the Lord God called to Adam, and said to him, “Where are you?” (10) He said, “I heard the sound of You [walking] in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself.” (11) God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten [fruit] from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” (12) And the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me--she gave me [fruit] from the tree, and I ate it.” (13) Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” And the woman said, “The serpent beguiled and deceived me, and I ate [from the forbidden tree].” (14) The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this, You are cursed more than all the cattle, And more than any animal of the field; On your belly you shall go, And dust you shall eat All the days of your life.
(15) “And I will put enmity (open hostility) Between you and the woman, And between your seed (offspring) and her Seed; He shall [fatally] bruise your head, And you shall [only] bruise His heel.”
(16) To the woman He said, “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth; in pain you will give birth to children; yet your desire and longing will be for your husband, and he will rule [with authority] over you and be responsible for you.” (17) Then to Adam the Lord God said, “Because you have listened [attentively] to the voice of your wife, and have eaten [fruit] from the tree about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it’; The ground is [now] under a curse because of you;
In sorrow and toil you shall eat [the fruit] of it all the days of your life.
(18) “Both thorns and thistles it shall grow for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.
(19) “By the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for from it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
(20) The man named his wife Eve (life spring, life giver), because she was the mother of all the living. (21) The Lord God made tunics of [animal] skins for Adam and his wife and clothed them.
(22) And the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), knowing [how to distinguish between] good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take from the tree of life as well, and eat [its fruit], and live [in this fallen, sinful condition] forever”-- (23) therefore the Lord God sent Adam away from the Garden of Eden, to till and cultivate the ground from which he was taken. (24) So God drove the man out; and at the east of the Garden of Eden He [permanently] stationed the cherubim and the sword with the flashing blade which turned round and round [in every direction] to protect and guard the way (entrance, access) to the tree of life.

What makes me feel that God is really love us is in chapter 3. When Adam and Eve fall in sin, God can be angry for their disobedience and then just let them died at that time. But, the truth is, even we have sinned, it can't stop God in loving us. It is proven with God made tunics and then clothed Adam and Eve, it must be because of His love to them (verse 21).

If you feel you are not worthy to come to God because you have sinned, just remember, GOD will always still love you no matter who you are now. He is THE ONLY one who can love you completely. Come to GOD, ask for forgiveness. Stay and live in HIS love.
