Before the fall (sin), man communed/fellowshipped/and interacted with the invisible God; received the “blessing;” was clothed in His glory and honor, “naked and unashamed;” given “dominion” and authority over creation; received the “woman” taken out of his flesh; and they beheld Him together.
[Pastor; Gen 1:28; 2:25, 21-24]
After the fall (sin), man rejected the glory of God, and substituted it with fig leaves [Gen 3:7]; and rejected the communion/fellowship/and interaction with God, and hid from the presence of the Lord [Gen 3:8]. And man even rejected the “woman” that God gave him; accusing her of misleading him [Gen 3:12]; and, instead of seeing Him who is invisible, they were only able to see their nakedness.
[Pastor]
“Beloved, now are we the sons of God (after being translated, by His salvation, from darkness into His marvelous light), and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.”
[1 Jn 3:2; Col 1:13; 1 Pet 2:9]

RESTORE ME, RESTORE TO ME THE JOY!
