God sent His revelation into my heart and I thank for the opportunity to share it with you.\r\n\r\nFor a few days we\u00b4ve been talking about negative consequences caused by ignorance. We also mentioned our everyone\u00b4s personal responsibility for filling our mind with the word of God and other useful information. Zealous Jews rejected the gift of righteousness offered by Him in Jesus Christ for free, because they lacked knowledge, while having zeal for God. As we stated earlier, jealousy is a good thing but without knowledge it causes worries and deficiencies.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00abBrothers, my heart\u2019s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved. For I testify about them that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. For being ignorant of God\u2019s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn\u2019t subject themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the fulfilment of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.\u00bb\u00a0(Romans 10:1-4).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nToday may people are saying they love God and believe in Him, while staying ignorant to His righteousness and living according to their own righteousness. Therefore, they blame God for being unjust to them when facing problems and distress in their life.\r\n\r\nIgnorance of spiritual laws \u2013 is one of many things that cause suffering in this world nowadays.\r\n\r\nSo we can see that:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li>Ignorance \u2013 is lack of knowledge, guidance and enlightenment.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ignorance \u2013 is everyone\u00b4s personal choice.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ignorance \u2013 is something that separates people from life and God\u00b4s care.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ignorance &#8211; is followed by lust, that in turn is followed by sin, then death.<\/li>\r\n\t<li>Ignorance \u2013\u00a0is the thing that leads to annihilation and tragedies.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nAs we mentioned earlier, in addition to your own sins also the sins of other people increase pain and sufferings on Earth. It hurts when you suffer due to your own sin, but it hurts even more when your sufferings are caused by someone else\u00b4s disobedience to the law. For example, many innocent people perish due to lack of responsibility of other people (e.g. drunk drivers, careless operator, etc.).\r\n\r\nWhen Jesus disciples met a man blind from birth they didn\u00b4t hesitate to ask Jesus who actually sinned, the blind man or his parents.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h6>\u00abAs he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. His disciples asked him, \u201cRabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cNeither did this man sin, nor his parents; but, that the works of God might be revealed in him.\u00bb\u00a0(John 9:1-3).<\/h6>\r\n&nbsp;\r\n\r\nInborn blindness is not a blessing, it can\u00b4t come from the loving God who laid His life for us so that we can have life abundantly. Knowing this the disciples couldn\u00b4t get the point right. They finally concluded that man was blind either because of his own sins or his parents broke the law in some way.\r\n\r\nThe disciples were certain that root of any kind of suffering comes from person\u00b4s sins or from the sins of other people, e.g. his parents. Nowadays, many children suffer from their parents\u00b4 sins. Many children have inherited diseases due to the way their parents live. People suffer not only due to their own sins but also because of the sins of other people.\r\n\r\nThough, Jesus used that opportunity to open the eyes of His disciples and explain that outside of sins there are another reasons why people suffer.\r\n\r\nWe are going to talk about it tomorrow!\r\n\r\nBe abundantly blessed in the Lord!\r\n\r\nRufus Adjiboje, pastor","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u00abBrothers, my heart\u2019s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved.
