When reading the conditions under which Adam was living, can we claim that it was missing something?
According to Genesis 2:8 - 
15, we can deduce that the Garden of Eden was all that one could still ask.
- pleasant and safe environment
- Frutos and good for food, pleasing to the senses
- enough water
- Fine gold (v.12)
- helpmeet. (V.23)
Adam had everything.
But as has happened to many of us, no excuses the first man fell, he disobeyed the divine command.
Genesis 3:6-7
the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and it was pleasing to the eye, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate , and gave también a su marido, el cual comió así como ella.
Entonces fueron abiertos los ojos de ambos, y conocieron que estaban desnudos; entonces cosieron hojas de higuera, y se hicieron delantales.
Las únicas palabras registradas en la Biblia que pronunció Adán fueron las siguientes:
“Y él respondió: Oí tu voz en el huerto, y tuve miedo, porque estaba desnudo; y me escondí.”(V. 10)
Y
“Y el hombre respondió: La mujer que me diste por compañera me dio del árbol, y yo comí.” (V.12)
Take one hand to Adam and see the parallels below. The story of the Prodigal Son.
Luke 15:11-13
he said, A man had two sons: And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me and he divided the property . A few days later, the younger son gathered all together, went away to a distant country and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
The prodigal son, without excuse, it falls. He chose to live la vida loca, this was his forbidden fruit. According to verse 15 of chapter, see how low the young man fell.
But something dramatic happens. Back itself.
Luke 15:17
came to himself, said:! Many hired servants of my father's have bread enough, and I perish with hunger!
Oh! How much do you need a lot of people "coming to himself." recognize his error. Recognize that goes wrong and you need a change.
Some say that the hardest thing for anyone who needs a radical change in behavior is to recognize who is an alcoholic, drug addict, compulsive gambler and need help. confess with your mouth: "I am a sinner."
The prodigal son acknowledged that he needed apologize! (V.18)
What is sometimes difficult to ask for forgiveness?
is an act that requires humility.
is easier to make excuses or blame others for the mistake. has been easier since the very beginning.
"... ... ... ... The woman who gavest me I got the tree, and I ate. "
Now, why apologize?
- With forgiveness opens the door of the reunion and restoration.
- Sana wounds. brings peace.
- brings revival.
- is the key to approaching God.
It is sad to note how many would rather go hungry and do not apologize.
How do I ask for forgiveness?
learn from the strategy used by the prodigal son.
Luke 15:18-19
- I'll rise. This constitutes an active attitude. Take the initiative.
- be back. Despite the embarrassment you may feel. of the comments may be lifted. Ridicule from those who saw me leave my house with fortune and dressed prince and now I would be in bankruptcy and ragged.
no matter that started the way back. Return home.
understand that shame is a factor that explains why many do not return to Jesus astray.
The prodigal son used the perfect formula: Repentance and confession.
"And the son said: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you, and am no longer worthy to be called your son."
Recall for a moment the joy that being and feeling forgiven.
"Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered." Psalm 32:1
Instead of punishment, eternal life! Instead of condemnation, for me the glory!
Who does not need to apologize?
all have something lavish. How many prodigal sons now are wasting and consuming their goods, their lives in unnecessary costs, passing in options without measure and without reason?
tomorrow Do not wait, start today your reunion with the Father.
Where do I apologize? Wherever you are. Recognize that you're wrong. agree that you need to repent. Confess your sins to God. back home.
What it took Adam? apologize.
Do not you ever miss you apologize.
