Sin, Temptation, And A way Out!

Death, we are never prepared for it even though we know that it is coming. It's so devastating to lose someone that you love. I know that when I lost my parents how much pain I was in. Most of us have lost someone whether it was a grandparent or parent or sibling, and what has to be the worst pain, a child. We can't even imagine the grief that God went through when His Son was crucified on the cross because of our sins. Yet, He was sent to Earth to die for you and me.

I thank God that He was willing to come and die in my place. Sometimes I think we just accept the fact that it was suppose to happen that way. Not the case! When God made man and woman, he planned for us to live forever. In fact we will live forever, either in heaven or hell. But when Eve fell for the temptation and sinned, we all were appointed to death.

God has told us that our wages for our sin is death. Disobedience to God is a sin. When God told Adam not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, He warned him that he would die if he disobeyed. Well we all know the story that he did disobey and because of this disobedience, sin entered into the world. You might say that you don't sin, but you just did sin. God tells us that we are all sinners, that none of us are righteous.
Romans;3:23(for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.) When God says all he means me and you. No one is excluded.
Romans;3:10(as it is written, there is none righteous, not even one.)
So you can see that we are all under the curse of sin.

God in His mercy and grace sent us a way to escape the wages of our sin.
John;3:16(For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.) We probably all know this verse by heart, but do we believe it? Do we believe on Jesus?

You might say that we are always being tempted by sin, and you would be right. God knows that and he tells us that we can escape the temptation.
1Corinthians;10:13(No temptation has overtaken you but such as is common to man; and God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will provide the way of escape also, so that you will be able to endure it.) So God loves us and gives us a way out. We have to be wlling to take the way out and not fall into the temptation.

So we know that we are sinners and we are doomed to die because of being sinners. But we have hope, and that hope is in Jesus. So now you have a choice to make. Are you going to take life in Jesus, or die in your sins? I'm taking the free gift of God, and that is life in Jesus. I've accepted Him as my Savior, I pray you'll do the same.

God Bless You!
