There is no other name where by a
soul can be saved, save the name of Jesus Christ the Lord and any weapon
fashion against the Christian will not prosper, it cannot for God has so willed
it, Jesus has conquered all of our enemies and He did it in a body like ours.
Think on that and be still. Give thanks with a grateful heart remembering the
love of God and the extent of it. There are many religions propagating many
different solutions but they are all noise looking for betterment. Religion
depends on us but Christianity depends of Christ, praise His name now and
forever more, get on the bus or you shall be doomed for eternity. It is a
simple solution, however we must agree with the psalmist if we are to find
rescue…
(Psalm 51:5) Behold, I was brought
forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Here we see a true understanding of our station
before a Holy God and how we compare. We have been hewn from a rock of sin and
not from a sheet of innocence as the world loves to project. Even now as I pen
these words I sense the resistance. There is no doubt that a baby’s mind is
uncorrupted by the completeness of sin and yet they are beings just waiting to
find their form as sinful creatures. It is impossible for it to turn out any
other way and as much as our children are the apple of our eyes, they teach us
the most about this truth. It doesn’t take long to witness sin beginning to
forcibly mould their characters. The first tantrum when things do not go their
way or how they learn to squirm into position to win their parents over so that
they end up having their way. And then we catch them red handed in their first
lie, really the list is endless. However, there is no doubt to what we see, but
we knew that already, all we needed to do was have a long hard look in the
mirror. Sin is the archenemy of God and Satan is the father of it all. This is
where the ultimate battle begun and where is will end; we will be in either of
the camps, of this I am certain, sin will always look to disguise its true
colours as acceptable. It will always play itself off others; “I am not as bad
as her” as it looks to justify its actions. But above all, it will always
challenge the WORD OF GOD. We will never find true deliverance until we come to
the same place David did and for some it may take a catastrophic disaster to come
to our senses. I thank my Heavenly Father and my glorious Saviour for the hard
knocks in my life as futile as most have been, they have shaped me into a
position of weakness, seeking out God’s mercy and His grace. True strength is
found in Him and once we truly see ourselves for who we are and accept our
realities will we then be able to cry out unto the One who has it in His Power
to save, Jesus the man who died and then was raised from the dead, the son of
God, the God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob!
Stop that “strawman” in its tracks, we are all
sinners and rotten to our core, we need the grace of God to save us from
ourselves and until we see ourselves as such we will have a hard time falling
to our knees and seeking our God’s forgiveness for our sins. Remember the two
thieves on the cross as they conversed with the Lord Jesus, how do you see
yourself? Where do you fit in and what will you do about it? I have made up my
mind, as for me and my household we shall bow the knee to Jesus.
Thank you Lord Jesus; just as you have been
merciful to me I ask that you be merciful to all who now find themselves
sharing my thoughts.
