As Descendants Of Adam We All Carry The Curse Of Sin On Our Lives. Because Sin Came Into The World So

As descendants of Adam we all carry the curse of sin on our lives. Because sin came into the world so did death, and after death a doorway will lead to one of two places. Either to a blessed, joyful, eternal life in heaven or complete separation from God forever and in hell.

What separates the two depends entirely on how your SIN is accounted for.

You see on our own, the sin debt accumulated in this life is too much for us to carry and at the end reckoning there is no way you can pay that amount due. The Bible says that “The wages (what we will get paid for) of SIN is DEATH” (Romans 6:23a) and this is everyone’s natural fate, but the good news is reading the end of that verse!:

“… but the GIFT of God is Eternal Life In Christ Jesus.” Romans 6:23b

You see God in His loving mercy made a provision for all under the curse of sin by paying in full our sin debt, and he paid it with something more precious than all the riches in the world. He paid it with his own blood.

Friend, which of these two eternal paths are you walking? The path of payment for sin, or receiving the free gift of removal of sin? Christ can and will do that for you. It is His free gift to all those that believe in Him and repent of their sins.

One day, this debt will come due.

Will you choose to have your sins converted to righteousness or receive the just payment for sin?

Can people choose to step back from 'god', 'christ' & 'truth' even when they experience it first hand?

Three striking examples of this were Thomas, Peter, and Judas when each of them at a crucial moment stepped back from what they knew as true in dramatic fashion.

Although Thomas personally experienced many of Jesus’ miracles, he DOUBTED the miracle that Christ rose from the dead unless he had proof it was true. Peter - at a key moment that was going to embarrass him for being a follower of Christ - DENIED and even cursed the fact he even knew him. Lastly Judas, once a friend in Jesus’ inner circle became a DEFECTOR who decided to align himself with those that hated Christ and all that he stood for.

If you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, then YOU are one of these three types of people.

You either DOUBT who Christ is, DENY and are ashamed to associate yourself with Christ, or are a DEFECTOR and enemy of God and all that he stands for.

Friend, the choice to be a DOUBTER, DENIER, DEFECTOR, or instead a DISCIPLE of 'GOD','CHRIST' & 'TRUTH' is entirely up to you.

Which one of these four types are you?

There’s a popular idea in the world that there are many ways to god, that all religions essentially teach the same thing and that by being good and living life best you can is all you need to do.

The problem however is that pesky guy Jesus!

While almost all religions revere Jesus Christ as a wise man, prophet, and great teacher, he made a statement that negates all other paths, when He said:

“I am THE WAY The Truth and The Life.” John 14:6

You see, according to Christ there are really only two ways we can take — His Way...Or Another. He also said “Follow Me” and that way is along a narrow road that leads to eternal life, or you can choose to take the broad path that “Many Will Follow” that points in a different direction to destruction. (Matthew 7:13)

Both do not — Or Cannot — arrive at the same destination.

Friend, you are free to choose which way you will go in this life and follow along the path you think is best. It may not be Christianity, and that choice is entirely up to you. No one can make that decision for you, but at some point there is a Time To DECIDE to choose one path or another. The crucial word here is TIME because when your life clock points to the last hour, minute, and second it will be too late to change the Final Destination of your direction.

TODAY is the Day of Salvation. NOW is the Time.

What PATH have you decided to follow?

If we all had that proverbial crystal ball, it might be great to know what things are coming our way. If your town or city is like most, you may see a sign for a psychic reader and be tempted to drop in on and take advantage of that faded '$10 special ' sign hanging in the window. However, the Bible clearly warns us to stay away from these things for two important reasons.

First, people that practice those kinds of activities are engaging in WITCHCRAFT, and the information that comes through them is not coming from Holy God but from the Kingdom of Darkness. While what they say might indeed come to pass that does NOT mean it is from God, but from the source that is “…the father of lies (the devil.)” Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says that we are not to use divination and that if or when you do, these are abominations to God.

Second, as today’s verse says our time here on earth is to be conducted walking in FAITH not by sight. That is, instead of having a 'chart' or 'reading' that may even be surprisingly accurate, God instead wants us to listen to HIS VOICE and follow HIS WORDS each day.

Friend, please listen!

Astrology, palm & card readers and crystal balls might be intriguing or maybe even fun, but This Is A Very Dangerous, Serious Business. God knows your future, and He will lead you to that perfect place as you listen to His guidance. When you do, as Deuteronomy 18:13 concludes (then)…

-- Thou shalt be blameless before the LORD thy God --

Nothing could have been more difficult than the assignment Jesus was given to him by the Father to die on the cross the most horrible of all deaths. As he was praying in the garden of Gethsemane, he was literally sweating blood and overcome with the suffering that was soon to come, and in his humanity said:

“Remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.” Luke 22:42

On top of all that, he was betrayed by one of his own, arrested, unfairly tried, cruelly beaten, deserted by His disciples, and died a humiliating criminal’s death on a cross. Yet despite all this, it was doing GOD’S WILL and NOT his own that was paramount.

No one but the Son of God could do such a thing, but there are times like Jesus faced when we also must make the difficult choice to put aside our own wishes and submit to God’s will.

God’s way is not always the easy path, but it is always the right one.

Friend, when you are facing a difficult decision, turn to your heavenly Father and ask for His divine guidance and direction. Listen closely to His still small voice inside your heart and always do HIS WILL, and in the final outcome You Will ALWAYS Be Glad You Did.
