WHY SIN WHEN JESUS CAN GIVE YOU ALL THINGS?
Today I watched half-awake a crime
investigation on cable television about a man in England who murdered an
elderly couple he was doing business with all because he wanted their money.
Police investigations found him trying to
cash a cheque for 27,000 British pounds sterling using the late lady's forged
signature.
I then thought to myself and said aloud,
why does one have to steal when the Lord Jesus Christ can do all things for us?
I repeated the statement again to my wife
and she agreed. The Bible says all things are possible for the individual who
has faith or who believes - Mark 9:23.
This statement by our Lord Jesus Christ is
very profound and every Christian ought to meditate deeply on it. Jesus did not
say some things but ALL THINGS are possible for the individual who has faith.
The question is, why exactly do you want in
life? If all things are possible when you have faith, it means all things you
can get.
However, it is necessary to note also that
our Lord Jesus Christ stated in Mark 8:36, "For
what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own
soul?"
What this means is that one can pursue all
the wealth of this world, obtain it and then die and go to hell forever!
These two profound statements from the Lord
Jesus Christ sound contradictory, for He says anyone who believes can get
anything he or she wants and at the same time He says what does it profit one
to gain everything and then die and go to hell?
Dear friend, this is why one must make a
careful and diligent study of God's Word in the Holy Bible to gain wisdom and
understanding by the power of the Holy Spirit - 1 John 2:25-27.
Jesus makes another profound statement
concerning worry, anxiety and the quest to satisfy our longings and desires for
the issues of life. Jesus asks us in Matthew 6:27, "Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?"
He further tells us in verse 31-34, "Therefore, do not worry, saying, what
shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or what shall we wear?
For
after all these things the gentiles (unbelievers) seek. For your Heavenly
Father knows that you need all these things.
But
seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall
be added to you.
Therefore,
do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.
Sufficient for today is its own trouble."
What this should tell a Christian is that
the Kingdom of God and His righteousness is what should be our priority focus
and Jesus will give us every other thing we need in this life.
We don't have to steal, cheat, murder, lie
or engage in immorality to earn a living. When you seek after God's Kingdom and
His righteousness, you will discover truths that cannot be found elsewhere.
Why and where do you seek this? First, you
must believe there is a God Who alone can do all things, Who has revealed His
truth in His Word found only in one place - The Holy Bible.
You must study the Word of God and there by
the help of God's Holy Spirit you will discover mysteries that are given to
God's children, the Christians who believe in Him, who believe in His Word (our
Lord Jesus Christ) and who believe in His Holy Spirit.
You will discover that the Word of God in
the Holy Bible contains several promises that are activated in a Christian's
life only by faith or belief and trust in the eternal nature of God's Word that
is forever settled in heaven and has the same efficacy today and even in a
billion years’ time as when God first revealed it thousands of years ago.
You will discover what is called creative
miracles, miracles that take place only in the name of Jesus Christ and which
for instance, cause a limb to grow, a blind eye to see, a deaf ear to hear, a
dumb lip to speak, a terminally ill person to be instantly healed, a poor
person to become a billionaire, a cripple to walk, internally damaged or
diseased organs to be totally healed without surgery!!
You will discover that the current pain and
hardship in today's world started when our first parents Adam and Eve disobeyed
God's commands and allowed satan to deceive them into sin that brought death
into the world and disconnected mankind spiritually from God.
You will discover the complete joy of
knowing Jesus Christ the Son of God and Messiah Who came to this earth as a
human being to die a most horrible death for our sins to reconcile mankind back
to God. Jesus did this because of His love for us even while we were sinners.
You will discover that the individual who
sincerely and genuinely allows Christ Jesus into his or her life will receive
blessings in this world and eventually die to go to spend eternity with Jesus
in heaven.
You will discover that anyone who rejects
the Gospel message of repentance and salvation found only in Jesus Christ will
experience a lot of crises here on earth and eventually die and end up forever
in Hell.
Dear friend, having read thus far, you will
have discovered that it is best to know Jesus Christ, repent of your sins, give
your life to Christ, acknowledge Him as your Messiah and obey Him
wholeheartedly.
You will also have discovered that you do
not have to live in sin since Jesus Christ has promised you so many things He
alone can give you here on earth if you ask Him in prayer by faith including
eternity with Him forever in heaven.
So, what is your decision?
Dear friend, Jesus Christ is coming very,
very soon to take those who are His in Rapture and leave those who have
rejected Him to be at the mercy, torture and wickedness of satan for 7 whole
years!!
I and my household personally declare for
Jesus Christ, which is why I am taking time by His grace and Holy Spirit to
send you this message to encourage you to also declare for Him and see what He
alone can do in your life.
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His
Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus' Most Righteous Name,
Amen.
Gabriel Ama.
