The Story
God is interested in telling a story, he understands from the beginning that people relate better with stories than a long list of what to do and what not to do. From the beginning we see God telling us his story about the beginning, he spoke about how he created everything he made it look like a 21st century novel making sure that his story is sellable. He draws a picture, showing us how he did it, which is the question that all humanity has. What is unique about his story is the fact that God emphasized many times that he is the one that Created the heavens and the earth and all that is seen and not seen, his audience have no reason to doubt because he makes it clear in his story.
Like a Lawyer God understood that he had to prove his point for all generation to know and understand his case. In Gen 3:14-15 God says "...Because you have done this, "Cursed are you above all the livestock and all the wild animals! You will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life. And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel." Showing us that he has a solution for our disobedience. God’s intention was never to harm us, but to actually reconcile us to him.
Genesis 3:15 is a scripture whereby we see the Gospel of the Lord Jesus (Protoevangelium), where God teaches us that we have wronged him yet he will send forth Jesus to redeem us. he reveals this truth so that we may know how will he come and how will he die, he shows us the importance of Jesus coming to the world when he banished Adam and Eve from the garden.
The bible is a story of stories, a story that marvels every living person in this world, every generation. We marvel at the story because God wrote the story, through generations God showed us from the children of Israelites that he is God and he wants us to reconcile to him, if we do not follow on to his will then we will die the second death where we live for all eternity without the presence of God. God showed us from the beginning that his will was for men to live with him for all eternity. Since men have fallen we have to be reconciled, which is the will of God.
Before this, we have seen Him ‘through a glass darkly,’ whereas now it is ‘face to face.’

Rhythm is all about sequence, it is about how the next note follows the first note, it is about the second dance move follows the first. Even if the next notw or the next move makes a mistake but it makes sure that it is in tune. Our fault is not in the stars but it is in our moving on from where Jesus left of. We blame all that is arround us but God has made it clear who he is and who we are yet we fail to grasp the power of who we are in him that we surfocate in blaming the world.
For this reason the four Gospels are the very crux of the bible. They are the historical focus of Old Testament Prophecy, and the factual basis of the New Testament theology.

According to the story of life (the bible) you and i a created to be powerful, we are created to take ownership of who God wants us to be, dominant. Lets throw of the things that make us weak, pain, suffering, negativity, poverty, and etc. And become dominant. Lets take over the business world, our homes, our communities, our finances and etc. Walk accordig to the steps of Jesus.
