Father and Son     

1 Corinthians 8:6, 7

But we know that there is only one God, the Father, who created

everything, and we exist for Him.  And there is only one Lord,

Jesus Christ, through whom God made everything and through

whom we have been given life.  (NLT)

     What a powerful and clear affirmation of the essential equality of God the Father and God the Son and where we perfectly fit into the equation.  Unfortunately, most of the people living in this fallen world do not received this truth with an open mind nor the desire to know more.  They stumble blindly through this difficult life never hearing the truth, because they are too busy trying to satisfy their lusts for life from a world that doesn't want the Truth known—a world that hates Jesus and wants to keep its people enslaved to the lies of the evil Enemy of their souls.  There are many lost souls that have ignored the Truth and remain trapped in the darkness of this world that promise them much, but delivers only death.  But there are also many lost souls who have been found and set free by the Truth, who struggle courageously every day to remain free from the darkness that had once held them enslaved to their sinful appetites.  Although our Lord God, Christ Jesus, has paid the price that set us free from the power of sin, walking away from the sinful things that we love to indulge in is never easy—for the chains have been broken, but the sinful nature remains. 

     Freedom from this wicked world is not easy, my friends, especially when you have been enslaved by its lusts for most of your life.  We need a powerful Savior, a Strong Tower, and a safe Place where we can go for protection and regeneration.  God paid a very hefty price to break us free from the power of sin and death, and personally purchased our tickets to Hell.

     It is far better to be bought by God than to be caught in the snares of Satan.  It is better to be a friend of God, then it is to be His enemy.  It is both an honor and a privilege to serve our Lord God Jesus Christ, much more rewarding than hording the meaningless things of this world that you will lose.  If you long for the Truth, you can find it by raising your hands high, looking up, and cry out for God's forgiveness and Amazing Grace. When you sincerely searched for the Truth, He will find you and set you free to live in this fallen world with the joy of the Lord in your heart, the gift of Salvation as your ticket to Heaven, and the Peace of God that will get you there safely. 

                               A Whisper of Hope

I Am the only God…dear child.  There is no Other.  Do not let the many false gods of this fallen world tempt you otherwise, for they do not have your best interest in mind.  It is difficult to discern right from wrong in this darkened world which thrives on deceit, but when you know the Way, the Truth and the Life, I will set you free from the lies that bring only despair and death. 

1 John 5:20

And we know that the Son of God has come, and He has given us understanding so that we can know the true God.  And now we are in God because we are in His Son, Jesus Christ, He is the only true God, and He is eternal life.  (NLT)

                           

          God purchased you at a high price.  

           Don’t be enslaved by the world.
