The Forgotten Forgiveness

The Forgotten Forgiveness

We travel so far through the fallen branches of knowledge, each step returning us closer to the place of our exit — and our re-entry. We call it redemption and sanctification. Yet one question lingers unspoken:

Have we ever forgiven Adam and Eve?

We inherited their shame, their exile, their craving to crave knowledge without trusting the God who made them to start with. We blamed them for our pain and wore their sorrow as our own skin. We studied the fall as history, never realizing we still live inside it — generation after generation repeating the same , reaching for wisdom apart from the breath that made us.

But forgiveness ends the inheritance of the fall .It severs the lineage of guilt. It lets us look at the first man and woman not with accusation, but with understanding.

When we forgive them, we forgive the part of ourselves that reached for control, that doubted the goodness of God. And in that release, something ancient loosens its hold — the guarded gate swings open.

Then the way home is no longer barred by flaming sword, for love itself becomes the sword — cutting through illusion, dividing flesh from spirit, revealing the path back to the Tree of Life.

Forgiving Adam and Eve is forgiving our own beginning.

It is returning to the breath of God before the desire for knowledge became our path — to innocence restored, and union remembered.
