Jesus says, “The thief does not come except to steal, kill & destroy. I have come that they may have life & that they may have it more abundantly. I AM the Good Shepherd who gives His life for the sheep (Jn 10:10). In the Garden of Eden, there's no death, killing, or stealing, because the enemy (Satan) has no power there, as everyone has abundant life. God created it this way, because it's His character to be this giver of eternal life. He's not the destroyer, the thief, the one who harms & destroys. When He sets humans in charge of the Garden of Eden, the world, it's not to do our will or to do the will of the adversary, to be killers, destroyers & stealers, but rather to reflect God's character of love, joy & peace, being merciful, towards each other & the animals. That's the way it was in the beginning & the way He promises it will be when He restores it. So we don't want to do the things that He arguably permits, or follow the ways of the fallen world. We want to strive for that ideal that was God's purpose, His will & His reflection from the beginning, all the way to the end. (30 mins + Q&A)
