There is a Remedy for this deadly malady...this eternal separation from our Abba....let those who have ears hear...it is only through Jesus the Christ, the only begotten Son of the living God, the God of the living. It is only in realizing the enormity of our sin, and that we assuredly deserve damnation, and accept the price Jesus the Christ paid for our sins, thus cleansing us, that we will not be condemned to damnation, and only that. Otherwise we are left to our own devices. In essence, God says "As you wish."
There's nothing to fear in watching the video.....is there?
Not one ver. only the words of man and not God.
The video is chock full of verses from the Bible. The words I posted are from what God Himself declares in His Word. But of course you already know that, do you not, brother in Christ?...in Genesis, the fall of man, the putting out of man from the Garden of Eden, the entering into the scene of death, destruction, pain, toil, and no more walks in the garden in the cool of the day with Abba. Separation had commenced. Death was as sure as man turning back to the dust from whence he came upon dying.....and literally, man became akin to 'dead men walking' because it was only a matter of time before death would claim them....the curse was upon man. Mankind had trespassed and became accursed.
Yet the story was not over. A loving Creator wants His own and had a plan. It reminds me of Aslan in 'The Chronicles of Narnia. He was killed. The enemy thought surely they had won and mankind was doomed. However a little known provision was written in to the law...it was that, if a perfectly innocent one was taken in the stead of mankind, time itself would do a tailspin and all curses would wind backwards and be as if there were none. Anyone who loved the One sacrificed, and was ransomed, was innocent, as if the curse had not occurred...Aslan dying, represented a perfect sacrifice, just as Jesus the Christ does. He is the Defender of those who the enemy will attempt to accuse at the Great Judgement...but those Who have been grafted into the family of God have a Defender Extraordinaire, and He says to get to them, you gotta go through me...well now that's not possible....because the enemy must also follow the law...and the law says God's children, the ones Jesus is defending are innocent. And that is because when God sees us, He sees Jesus' righteousness.
Now those that are not in the family of God, are not God's children because they had no intention of becoming a new creature through the blood sacrifice of Jesus the Christ, and are entirely on their own in that court room, against the accuser. Jesus will say to them to go away from Him for He never
knew them. We are compared to sheep and goats.
Of course you already know this, brother in Christ. For it is written. God's Word never returns to Him void. Those who have ears, listen. As it says in proverbs, wisdom crieth out from the house tops, from the market place, crying out to those headed for destruction.
And so it does.
Doesn't it?
