1FM Rev
12:7-9		 Where did sin originate? Who is the Dragon, and where was he cast down to?
2FM Isa
14:12-15		 Why was he cast out of heaven?  The throne is the seat of government, and the heart of government is it's law. Lucifer challenged God's law.

3:4		 Sin is breaking God's law.
4FM Deut

5FM Mat
22:37-40		 The first four of the ten commandments reflect on our love for God; Thou shalt have no other Gods before me. Thou shall not worship idols. Not take the name of the Lord in vain, remember the Sabbath day. The last six reflect on our love for fellow man: Honor your father and mother; not to murder, commit adultery, steal, lie or covet.
6FM Prov. 14:12 Man's ways always seem right even when he is wrong.
7FM Isa 55:8,9 Human reasoning is not capable of determining God's ways of love.
8FM Gen. 2:9, 16-17 God is a God of Love and true love involves choice. He put the tree in the garden in order to give them a choice as to love and trust him or to go their own way.
9FM Gen 3:1-6 Satan tempted the woman to become like God. To use her own knowledge to determine good from evil instead of trusting God's ways of love. When she ate the fruit, she was simply showing that she did not trust God.
10FM Gen 2:17 The penalty for choosing to reject God is death. Not because God wants anyone to die, but because if He ever hopes to have peace and harmony in the universe again he must remove sin, and since man has the choice to sin, if he chooses to sin, he must die.
11FM Gen 3:15 But God gave Adam and Eve another chance. He promised them that one would come who would be victorious over Satan, and eventually crush him. This is the first prophecy or promise in the Bible. The seed of the woman was to be Jesus Christ.
12FM Rev 12:17 The book of Revelation is the final grand climax of the battle between Christ and Satan. Satan makes his last attempt to destroy the last of the seed of the woman, Those who are faithful to God's laws of love

-- Don't you want to be among those who are faithful to God's laws of love?
