“Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil…”
(Matthew 6:9)
Staring in Genesis, Adam and Eve gave into temptation in the Garden of Evil. The LORD warned them vehemently not to eat from the “tree of good and evil,” and that they could freely partake in the “Tree of Life.”
They rationalized, after they were beguiled by the serpent, but God wouldn’t hear of it. He then passed down His judgement for their indiscretion, and for their blatant disobedience. Because of them, we were born to be rebellious, as their sin was passed down to all of us. Sinful nature was inherited due to that ill-fated day in the “The Garden of Eden.”
Jesus changed all of that. God loved us so much that He gave humanity another chance to “listen and repent” and to be reconciled to Him.
The Son of God came willingly to partake in the most vicious and brutal incomprehensible acts of torture for “us.” For us!
That was the Greatest love story ever told.
That was the Greatest love story ever demonstrated.
Accepting the LORD Jesus Christ, as our Lord and Savior, repenting and being born again in Him, we will be able to “join God in Paradise for eternity” when we are called home.
Following Him, obeying His commandments, and putting Him first in all things at all times, and doing all according to His will. This will produce fruits in season and rewards that will be forthcoming, here and in our eternal homes, forever more.
Worship the LORD your God, and only Him shall we serve, and with a thankful heart and a loving spirit, we go forward to accomplish that which He set us forth to do.
How amazing is our God?
How great is His love?
Do you know God and His Word?
If not, may I invite you to open your Bible’s and get to know His grace, His compassion, and His love.
“Father, thank You for Jesus, Your Son and my Savior, may I do all according to Your will and purpose in my life, I love You and will follow You all the days of my life, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
