WHEN I LOOK AT THE GENERATION BEHIND ME, IT REALLY TROUBLES ME. THE WORD OF GOD WARNS MANKIND OF THE DAY WHEN THEY CALL EVIL GOOD AND GOOD EVIL; WHEN THEY CALL LIGHT DARK AND DARK LIGHT. WE ARE THERE!! OUR SOCIETY IS BECOMING SO PERVERSE DAY BY DAY. WHEN YOU TURN FROM THE TRUTH YOU ARE TURNING TO A LIE!
WHEN YOU TURN FROM GOD, YOU ARE TURNING TO HIS ADVERSARY, SATAN!
SOME PEOPLE SAY THERE IS NO DEVIL, AND THAT LITERALLY EXCITES THAT FALLEN ANGEL! THEY BECOME SUCH EASY PREY FOR HIM WHEN THEY DO THAT!
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DETERMINE WHERE MAN CAME FROM ONLY BECAUSE THEY REJECT THE REVELATION OF THE ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION GIVEN IN THE BIBLE: GOD'S WORD. THEY REJECT IT BECAUSE THEY REJECT GOD. MAN DOES NOT WANT TO BE ANSWERABLE TO ANYONE FOR THEIR ACTIONS, ESPECIALLY ONE SO POWERFUL AS THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE. SO! THEY DENY THAT HE EVEN EXISTS. EVERYTHING CAME FROM NOTHING! IF YOU REALLY GIVE THAT SOME THOUGHT, IT IS A RIDICULOUS AS IT SOUNDS. NOTHING PRODUCES NOTHING BECAUSE IT IS NOTHING!!
PAUL TELLS US IN ROMANS CHAPTER ONE, THAT ALL OF CREATION DECLARES THE REALITY OF GOD. THERE IS NO OTHER REASONABLE ANSWER. THERE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH COMPLEXITY AND GENIUS FOR THE SIMPLEST LIFE FORM! THE HUMAN BODY ITSELF IS SO COMPLEX, PRECISE, AND AMAZING IN ITS BEING THAT THERE IS NO WAY IT COULD HAVE COME ABOUT WITHOUT ONE AMAZING, SUPER POWERFUL BEING BEHIND ITS PRESENCE! GOD SAYS, "THE FOOL HAS SAID IN HIS HEART THERE IS NOT GOD!"
ONE DAY ALL WHO REJECT THE TRUTH WILL BE COMPELLED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT VERY TRUTH. THE BEAUTY OF THE LIFE THEY COULD HAVE WILL BE HORRIBLY REALIZED AS THEY FEEL THE FIRST HORRIBLE EFFECTS OF THEIR SPIRIT SPLASHING DOWN IN WHAT THE BIBLE CALLS THE LAKE OF FIRE. THAT'S NOT GOD'S DESIRE FOR MANKIND, BUT HIS LOVE WILL NOT PERMIT HIM TO FORCE MEN TO ACCEPT HIM OR HIS WORD. FOR LOVE TO EXIST, THERE MUST BE ANOTHER CHOICE. THAT'S WHY GOD CHOSE ONE TREE IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN TO BE A FORBIDDEN FRUIT. LOVE DEMANDS ANOTHER CHOICE!
THE LOVE OF GOD FOR MAN WAS WONDERFULLY REVEALED IN THE BEATING AND CRUCIFIXION OF HIS ONE AND ONLY BEGOTTEN SON! WITH ARMS STRETCHED OUT ON THAT CRUEL CROSS, JESUS AND HIS FATHER WERE DECLARING THE DEPTHS OF THEIR LOVE FOR FALLEN MAN!!
HE WATCHED HIS SON DIE AND TAKE OUR PUNISHMENT SO THAT THROUGH SIMPLE FAITH IN WHAT HE HAD DONE FOR US, WE CAN TURN FROM OUR SINS AND WALK INTO HIS OUTSTRETCHED ARMS OF LOVE THROUGH FAITH IN HAT HE DID TO SHOW THAT LOVE. JESUS COULD HAVE COME DOWN OFF OF THAT CROSS, BUT HE WOULD NOT BECAUSE HE COULD NOT BEAR THE COST: YOU LOSS!
YOU CAN CONTINUE TO REJECT HIS LOVE BY REJECTING HIS BEING AND THE GREAT GIFT HE GAVE OUT OF HIS LOVE FOR YOU, OR, YOU CAN SAY, LORD! IF YOU LOVE ME THAT MUCH, AND YOUR SON LOVES ME THAT MUCH, I COME TO YOU AND ASK YOU TO FORGIVE ME AND TAKE ME INTO YOUR FAMILY AS ONE OF YOUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN. I CAN TELL YOU FROM EXPERIENCE, HE WILL COME QUICKER THAN YOU CAN FINISH THAT PRAYER!!!
