Sin had us enslaved by its wickedness. Prior
to the flood, there was tremendous wickedness in the world, so much, that it
grieved God to have created us, because of the evilness in our hearts. Even though we had failed God with
our short comings, he still continued with his planned of salvation
with Noah. He knew that one day there
would be many people following his son, Jesus Christ.
He knew that you and I were going to stand strong on his Word. Praise God!
Be of good cheer, my friends, because sin no longer has control
over our lives. Yes, we struggle with
certain behaviors, but sin should not be part of us anymore, the Spirit shall
be the ruler of our lives. God sent his
son to remove us from the presence of sin, his wrath, and to give us eternal
life.
SIN
John said in 1 John
1:5-10, Jesus told us God is light and doesn’t have any darkness in him. Now, we are telling you, if we say we share
in life in God and keep on living in the dark, we are lying and are not living
by the truth. But if we live in the
light, as God does, we share in life with each other. And the blood of his son Jesus washes all our
sins away. If we say we have not sinned,
we are fooling ourselves, and the truth isn’t in our hearts. But if we confess our sins to God, he can
always be trusted to forgive us and take our sins away. If we say we have not sinned, we make a God a
liar, and his message isn’t in our hearts.
Reflection:
We are imperfect, but we fool ourselves if we think we can
live a life with God and continue living a carnal life as well. No, remove yourselves from unrighteousness, and
the Lord will help you live a life of righteousness through Jesus Christ.
1 John 5:19 says, “We are certain we come from God and the rest of the
world is under the power of the devil.
We know that Jesus Christ the Son of God has come and has shown us the
true God.” AMEN!
WRATH
Revelation 16:15 John
said, remember Christ says, “When I come it will surprise you like a thief! But
God will bless you, if you are awake and ready.”
Reflection:
If the Lord were to come tomorrow, will your hearts be
ready? Will your life be pleasing to
him? What would he say to you according
to your deeds?
Eternal Life
1 Thessalonians
4:14-18 says, “We believe Jesus died and was raised to life. We also believe that when God brings Jesus
back again, he will bring with him all who had faith in Jesus before they
died. Our Lord Jesus told us that when
he comes, we won’t go up to meet him ahead of his followers who have already
died. With a loud command and with the
shout of the chief angel and a blast of God’s trumpet, the Lord will return
from heaven. Then those who had faith in
Christ before they died will be raised to life.
Next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together
with them to meet the Lord in the sky.
From that time on, we will all be with the Lord forever. Encourage each other with these words.”
Reflection:
Eternal life is guaranteed no matter if we die before or are
alive when the Lord comes. Life in
Christ is eternal there is no doubt in him.
We will live with our LORD All Powerful one day.
Life is not great right now, but look towards
the heaven, encourage yourselves with the words the Lord has written for
us. Rejoice because one day this will
all be over.
Amazing to think that one day we will be living with God in
a PERFECT WORLD. Awesome! Thank you Jesus.
