The Law

We are all governed by the law, it’s our default. So much of our time is spent by laws governed by the country which in turn governs us. It’s just the way it is. Far be it from us to write our own laws, although we most certainly do that within the laws which rule. We all look to do it our way, a tailor-made lifestyle which suits each individual. And when the pressure is on and we need an itch scratched we do that in secret, hoping to get away with the breech. The thief steals hoping not to get caught. The adultery beds another man’s wife in secret, captivated by his own desire. And the list is endless. It’s like what the scientist refer to in space as a black hole, "don’t let the name fool you: a black hole is anything but empty space. Rather, it is a great amount of matter packed into a very small area." Secret sin is like that, the truth be told, all will be expose by the light on Judgment Day. There is no such thing as a secret sin that is just another lure the world has swallowed hook, line and sinker. We may even get away with the deceit for a time, but it will catch up with all of us, repent and be saved is the solution. God has afforded all the opportunity to cry out unto HIM. I cannot be straighter with you, to all of my friends. Which covers childhood, through puberty and all the way up into adulthood. I have declared a truth to you, what will you do with it? That old adage, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. "If only" will be the cry of many.

 

So we are bound by the law for as long as we live, it manages us with impunity and yet we are anything but free. The Apostle Paul puts it like this; “For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. “ (Romans 7:19) - In a way it's not our fault, the sin of Eve has tainted us. We instinctively err on the side of sin when an opportunity presents itself. But because we have been given a way out, we will all be held accountable if we decline God's offer.  

 

When we understand this correctly, it becomes obvious that we need to be saved from ourselves, sin, Satan and the wrath of GOD! It is God who has extended the life line, praise His name. Bless the name of Jesus the One who took my punishment, why? Obedience to the will of His Father. Why did God require such a sacrifice? Sadly, because of our to sin. However, because God is love, He has extended all a lifeline. I hope you get it! Miss this eternal opportunity and the penalty will be so serious that none of us like to speak about it. Have you ever been to a funeral where they speak of the departed now on hell? And yet so many will end up there. I will not be one of those friends who lies to you, so not to offend. I have made that mistake in the past, and not spoken up and someone has died, that is on me. However now you breathe and your hope is alive, the solution is simple, cry out to Jesus and ask Him to save you. You must mean it, and believe that you need salvation. “For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”” (Romans 10:13)
