   opportunity, but God in his great mercy has created another way for us   
   to obtain eternal life with Him. God sent his Son, the Lord Jesus   
   Christ, to die and shed his blood to free us from the first Adam's   
   curse and our own sin. Through faith in the Lord Jesus we are born anew   
   into God's family and receive the promise of the Father that we will   
   stand faultless before the throne at the day of judgement. We are no   
   longer children of disobedience, but we are now children of God fit for   
   His kingdom. All that is required of us is simple faith in the Lord   
   Jesus and His sacrificial death on the cross, and to open our hearts   
   and minds to the working of the Holy Spirit of God.   
   Man tries his own methods of attempting to tap into this latent   
   angelic capability that some are vaguely aware of within themselves.   
   Some gnostics, certain psychics, many new agers, kundalini yogis,   
   certain mediums and supernaturalists of various kinds are trying in   
   their own way to regain the power that Adam and Eve possessed, abused   
   and subsequently lost during the fall. Little do they realize that they   
   are playing with spiritual dynamite. A few people may try to regain   
   this Adamic power with an intent of somehow attaining angelic status   
   which they think might give them access to the tree of life. God has   
   blocked this route with his cherubim and flaming sword. They would be   
   far better off to seek the Lord Jesus Christ and His righteousness as   
   the path to eternal life. Having experienced this Adamic power first   
   hand, I am well acquainted with good and evil even as Adam was. I thank   
   God that Christ is my refuge, that in Him I find forgiveness through   
   faith in His shed blood and that He sets my feet on the path of   
   righteousness for His name's sake. Truly He is the Way, the Truth and   
   the Life. Praise be to God for His everlasting grace, love and mercy.
