Christians
often talk about this Dying World
But in
fact the World is Dead.
When
Adam and Eve Disobeyed God
And
were cast out of the Garden of Eden
They
Died, as God had told them they would,
And
therefore the World they entered was Dead.
17 To
Adam He said,
'Because
you listened to your wife
And
ate from the Tree
(The
Tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil)
About
which I commanded you,
'YOU
MUST NOT EAT OF IT,'
'Cursed
in the ground because of you;
(This
included the entire earth)
Through
painful toil you will eat of it
All
the days of your life.
18 It
will produce thorns and thistles for you,
And
you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By
the sweat of your brow you will eat your food
Until
you return to the ground,
Since
from it you were taken;
FOR
DUST YOU ARE
AND TO
DUST YOU WILL RETURN.'
(Genesis
3:12-19
We are
all born Dead;
Born
with a Sin Nature.
Hopeless,
Helpless and Condemned.
Realize
that everything apart from God is dead.
The
only Event that changes this situation
Is
Faith in Christ Jesus and His Word
Which
are One and the same;
To be
Born Again, born of the Spirit of God;
God
Who alone is Alive.
To be
Born Again is to go from Death to Life.
After
being Born Again
We
must walk in the Light of God's Word
To
remain alive.
We
must obey His Commands
Which
can only be done
By the
Power of His Spirit living in us;
Christ
in us the Hope of Glory, or Eternal Life.
It is
the Empowerment of God alone
The
Power of His Spirit,
That
enables us to Obey His Word;
To
walk in His Light,
Otherwise
it is Impossible.
The
Disciples ask Jesus,
“Who
then can be Saved.'
He answered them,
He answered them,
'With
man this is Impossible
But
with God All Things are Possible.'
(Matthew
19:26)
What
is the Good News?
It is
that by Faith in Christ Jesus,
Everyone
can be Born Again,
Born
of the Spirit of God
And be
Changed from Death to Life.
