IMMENSE LOSS, AMAZING RESCUE

 
Psalm 86:13
 
"For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol." ESV 
 
Do we really understand what was lost when sin entered the human heart? Before, there was perfect communion with God and constant presence of His glory. After, there was darkness, separation from Him, and vulnerability to evil and destructive circumstances of a world gone bad. Do we really understand how much God loves us, that He would sacrifice the most precious thing to Him, His Son, to rescue us from this tragic and hopeless world?
 
Lord, we fervently seek to know what was lost when sin entered the world. It is in the light of knowing this that we can understand the vastness of the Way You saved us from the destruction it caused. In His name we pray, Amen.

EYE AND HAND DANGER

 
Matthew 5:29
 
"If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away. For it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell." ESV 
 
It is our eyes that see the forbidden fruit. It is our hands that reach up to pluck it from the tree. Jesus teaches us to get ride of anything that causes us to be unfaithful to Him, no matter how much we want it in our lives. It is our own senses that seek pleasure to the point that we lose sight of our relationship with the Lord. He expects us to turn our backs on those things we know are a temptation to us.
 
Heavenly Father, so often we allow our senses to lead us to those places that cause us to act in ways that offend You. Forgive us. Give us discerning and prepared minds to stay away from those things that tempt us to sin. In Jesus' name, Amen.

WILL GOD SEND YOU TO HELL?

 
 
Romans 6:23


"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." ESV


God has never and will never send any person to hell. It's pretty clear what the term "wages" are. It is rewards earned by performing some task or work. That's right! People earn themselves right into hell of their own doing. They get paid an eternity in hell for the godless lives they live. No one earns eternal life, there are no wages for getting to heaven. God gives eternal life as a free, unearned gift to those who believe in His saving grace.


Heavenly Father, help us to be wise when we are called on to answer why God would send anyone to hell. Fill us with the Holy Spirit that Your Word will come to mind and we can speak the truth. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
