The
Truth of God’s redemptive grace is exercised in the gift and
sacrifice of His Son Jesus, our Messiah. Why would God make such a
sympathetic offering? The answer lies in the text of John 3:16, “For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the
world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that
believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is
condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light
is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil
hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should
be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his
deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” All that
desire the Truth will navigate toward the Light of God, make the
necessary adjustments in the strength of Jesus Christ and walk in His
Truth.
We
are born into this life carrying this enormous burden called “sin.”
The entire human race was plunged into a state of sin due to the
disobedience of our mother and father, Adam and Eve. They fell for
the Serpent’s temptation and ate of the forbidden fruit. God placed
a curse upon the earth because of their disobedience. Genesis 3:14,
“And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done
this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the
field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the
days of thy life: 15 And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head,
and thou shalt bruise his heel. 16 Unto the woman he said, I will
greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt
bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he
shall rule over thee. 17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of
which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is
the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days
of thy life; 18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to
thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; 19 In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for
out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt
thou return.”
God
has included all under sin that He might offer a remedy. Galatians
3:22, “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the
promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that
believe...26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ
Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have
put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither
bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one
in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's
seed, and heirs according to the promise.”
Jesus
Christ is God’s Gift Of Truth to this lost and dying world. The
Truth of His redemptive grace reaches into the darkest crevices of
life to illuminate the path of lost mankind. Look to Jesus, our
Messiah, today and be loosed from the penetrating, consuming darkness
enveloping our world. Jesus will deliver you and empower you to walk
in the freedom that only He can give! God’s Gift Of Truth!
