“For the word of the cross is to them
that are perishing foolishness; but unto us which are being saved it is the
power of God.”
Without a personal relationship with
Almighty God based on the work Christ has done on the Cross those on the
outside looking in are in fact perishing a little more each day. With each
decision they make they take a step further away from God. Fortunately, you are
never too far away for God to reach you, but each day separated from him is nothing
more than another wasted day. Faith in God enables a person to check his or her
own feelings and emotions at the door and embrace what is finally seen for what
it is … the existence of a singular complete truth.
Man’s distortion of that truth comes
in several forms … thru science, technology and medicine, along with the mass
media industry. While there are certainly many exceptions to this statement,
there exist many that see no reason for the existence of a God. They feel that
God’s existence can readily be disproved by various means. Sadly, all the years
of research is no different then a person making scripture say what they want
it to say. The notion that the creature
can definitively disprove the existence of its Creator is somewhat arrogant and
terribly ignorant.
The believer is saved and yet in the
process of being saved at the same time. The sanctification process is
progressive, meaning it takes place in our hearts and lives from the day we are
redeemed until the day we cease to exist on earth. Sanctification is holiness,
the process of being purified. At salvation we are seen as being cleansed,
righteous and holy in God’s sight, for we are seen thru a veil of Christ’s
blood. However, the purification process continues as long as we allow the Holy
Spirit to guide our way in this life. If you are one of the perishing, it isn’t
too late until God declares that time has come to an end. If you are saved,
revel in the relationship with God that you have and continue to maintain it
daily. Until next time, walk with the King and be a blessing!
