| Original Sin - Christine Nichols, 2009 |
This watercolor
is entitled "Original Sin." It represents the temptation
and fall of mankind in the Garden of Eden that is recorded in Genesis 2-3. The artwork is
essentially a finger painting. The Holy Spirit guided me to paint my hand with
red paint and then place it on acrylic paper in a semi-circular motion.
The images in the painting is the result. What you see may differ, but I see a profile of a man (Adam) on the left and an apple on the right, thus the title, "Original Sin." I asked my Facebook friends what they saw in the abstract painting and their answers varied greatly - everything from wings of love, to being covered by Christ's blood, to a butterfly.
What is Original Sin?
I didn't realize this is such a loaded question until I googled the phrase. I believe original sin of mankind occurred in the Garden of Eden, with three players listed in the order of their appearance in Genesis 3: the serpent (Satan), Eve, and Adam. Below are videos of Genesis 2-3 being read from the King James Version of the Bible.

HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS!
Original sin and the penalty of death
came through the first Adam.
came through the first Adam.
Eternal Life comes through the last Adam, Jesus Christ.

So
it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last
Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the
natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust
of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is
the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as
we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image
of the heavenly man.
1 Corinthians 15:45-49
1 Corinthians 15:45-49
All my paintings
begin with prayer. I ask for the Holy Spirit's guidance from beginning to end -
from choosing the canvas and paint colors to the last brush stroke. I pray that
the Lord's message would go forth through the art and that Father God would be
glorified.
I believe all
prophetic art has a message, but what the Holy Spirit speaks to me about a
specific piece of art, may be different than what the Spirit says to you. Seek
Him for a personal interpretation.
