God — The World's Greatest Problem and Our Only Solution
Those who are sick WITH sin and KNOW it... are usually those who are sick OF sin and HATE it.
Jesus says it best...
"Those who are healthy have no need of the insight or instructions of a physician, but those who are sick know they need the professional perception and prescription of a doctor. I did not come to call the self righteous, those who cannot acknowledge or admit they are sin sick, but I came to cure and call sinners, who know and admit they need My help and healing, to repentance." ~ Jesus
Now be prepared... if you come for His cure, He's not going to treat your symptoms that are causing you the misery, He's going to start with you. Yes, He's going to get to the root of the problem. He knows what He's doing and He knows who needs what. And He knows YOU need healing. For, without Him, you and your sins are a problem, for you, with God. You are under God's wrath... for your worst enemy in the world in not Satan, your issues or worldly problems, it's God, Himself. But... I'm so thankful for the "But God..." phrases of God and His grace in Christ Jesus. Without Jesus God is no doubt your worst nightmare but with Jesus as your greatest advocate you can be at peace with God.
It's true, friends, only Jesus can deal or should I say, mediate that eternal problem for both you and God. God has a problem with you. And you, in your pride, have thought or acted as if you knew better than He. But Jesus, being both God and Man is the ONLY person ever that can reconcile both God's wrath and your natural rebellion toward Him. Jesus is (and must be ours, too), God's answer for His wrath… |
