Grace and peace to you from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ!\r\n\r\nYesterday we talked about sin being the main cause of sufferings, tragedies and pain in the world. God has given us the solution in Jesus Christ. Jesus came into the world in order to redeem the sins of humanity and to destroy sin and its consequences.\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abBut God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him\u00bb\u00a0(Romans,\u00a05:8-9).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n
\u00abFor God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life\u00bb(John, 3:16).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n
\u00ab..who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father\u00bb\u00a0(Galatians,1:4).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen God calls us to repent He does it for our own good. God is self-sufficient and does not need anything or anybody. Both our sinful actions and our good deeds do not affect God and do not change His essence. God\u2019s call to repentance is profitable for us and the people around us.\r\n\r\nThe following Scripture verses talk about it.\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abIf you sin, what do you accomplish against Him? Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him? If you are righteous, what do you give Him? Or what does He receive from your hand? Your wickedness affects a man such as you, and your righteousness a son of man. Because of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry out for help because of the arm of the mighty\u00bb\u00a0(Job,\u00a035:6-9).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nIn this passage we see that the sin of one person affects the lives of others. For example, a drug addict or an alcoholic makes himself and his whole family miserable.\r\n\r\nThe Bible talks about a man named Achan whose sin caused problems for the whole congregation of Israel. This story is described in the Book of Joshua, chapter 7.\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abDid not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the accursed thing, and wrath fell on all the congregation of Israel? And that man did not perish alone in his iniquity\u00bb\u00a0(Joshua, 22:20).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nSin and iniquity is directly connected to suffering and misery on earth today.\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00a0\u00abTherefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned\u00bb\u00a0(Romans, 5: 12).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nDeath entered the world and established its rule because of the sin of one man, Adam. Praise God that the story does not end there. Righteousness, peace and life also came into the world as a result of the actions of one Man \u2013 Jesus Christ.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00abBut the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man\u2019s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. (..) For if by the one man\u2019s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.) Therefore, as trough one man\u2019s offense judgement came to all man, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man\u2019s righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man\u2019s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man\u2019s obedience many will be made righteous\u00bb\u00a0(Romans, 5: 15, 17-19).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nIt is not as hopeless as many think. God has already solved the matter of salvation of human race from the rule of death through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ.\r\n\r\nEvery one of us has been given free choice. By our lawlessness and sins we can fill our lives and the lives of our loved ones, thus defiling the earth. But through repentance and godly living we can establish the rule of life by God\u2019s grace, affecting not just our life but the whole world.\r\n\r\nWe see that the sin of one man negatively affects not only him or her, but also others. In the same way we see that obedience and righteous living positively affects other people and the whole world.\r\n\r\nYou can ease the situation on earth, making the right choices every day. First, a man needs to repent of his sins and accept Jesus and His righteousness into his heart (if he has not done it yet). Then he needs to make a firm decision to follow Jesus daily. That way he can bring many blessings and spread the life of God around him, like Jesus did.\r\n\r\n \r\n
\u00ab\u00a0For if by the one man\u2019s offense death reigned through the one, much more those who receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ\u00bb\u00a0(Romans, 5: 17).<\/h6>\r\n \r\n\r\nWhen we go through this life with God, we can change the lives of so many people! There is nothing impossible with God!\r\n\r\nGod bless you!\r\n\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Every one of us has been given free choice.
