004 Created to Receive Counsel

God did everything for us, the human race. He created us in perfect in paradise. He instructed us clearly, out of a heart of care, because He truly understood us. He gave us personal freedom, rather than micromanaging our lives. All of this He did before the fall. Then, even after the fall, He demonstrated His ongoing care, in spite of His rage against sin, by giving clear counsel and continuing to extend astounding privileges. Even in this calamity, God is still gloriously kind in granting us hope--living hope.
