“There is only one God and one Mediator who can reconcile God and humanity- the man Christ Jesus. He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone. 1 Timothy 2:5 & 6
Humanity has been at odds with God since Adam and Eve. The devil and his antics began when he deceived Eve into eating the apple from the tree of knowledge of good and evil. God has always had a plan and his plan has always been on his time schedule. The freedom and the opportunity for everlasting life, that you and I are afforded in this earthly life, has not come to us as a freebie. It is provided to us because God paid a heavy price to save us. He sacrificed his one and only son to die for each of us. We are given the opportunity to know Christ on a personal level. God has given us a chance to go through the troubles of this world with assistance. He has presented us with Jesus who brings with Him peace of mind, truth, strength, love, confidence, knowledge and wisdom. He brings with him every tool we need to pass through this life unscathed. However, we also have been given a free will and a choice to make. God does not force us into anything. He wants only those who truly love and trust Him. He wants those who are willing to stand up for Him and not fear the world and what it surrounds us with. We can either choose the life in this world today or we can choose Jesus and life everlasting. As a human this is not an easy choice. The devil continues to deceive and trick and deceives some into thinking that there is only this world and there will never be another. He tricks others into thinking that God is only a fairy tale and is not real. He shows up on our doorstep looking like a nice and gentle lamb when in reality he is an ogre who is out to destroy us. There is only one right choice. That choice is Christ Jesus. He is our Savior and our protector. When we accept Him as our Lord and Savior we can say with confidence, “WE’VE GOT YOU LORD!” PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS
