God is working! Even through our sin during the Perished Kingdom, God is using our unfaithfulness to accent His faithfulness. In Genesis 3, after Adam and Eve sinned, God promised to send a descendent of Eve who would crush Satan's head. Here, God is beginning to fulfill that promise by establishing Abraham as the head of the nation which will eventually give birth to Jesus, the Satan-crusher. Also, through our sin, God is able to show us His Justice, Mercy, and Grace - traits that would have remained hidden if we had remained perfect. Only through His sovereignty can God give us what we deserve (justice) while simultaneously not giving us what we deserve (mercy) as well as giving us what we don't deserve (grace). Because of our imperfection, we are able to know God even more deeply than before in regards to His forgiveness.
