A Daily Devotional – Judgment – The Eternal Word
Comment: I am reminded continually
that my ability to write suffers greatly, yet this does not prevent me from
writing. I enjoy the time spent to share a thought or two regarding our Awesome
and Great God with folks who are like minded and even those who are not. Having traveled a bit after serving in the military, I have noticed a thing or two
about people of different nationalities which is common to all of us. Of the things
that stand out, the one that is most common is that the inner heart desires to
love, to live life and pursue happiness. These are NOT man-made traits, these
are given to mankind as attributes of human life, by our Creator – Romans
13:8-10.
Devotional: As
we are all aware, our ability to love, live and pursue happiness is marred. It was
subjected to the wrath of God when Adam and Eve sinned against God in the
Garden of Eden, see Genesis 3:1-24. Well you might say “I had nothing to do
with that, so why am I being punished?” You specifically are not singled out
and punished, it is a judgment or curse placed on
all of mankind by our Creator. Why? Because; had we been Adam or Eve, we would
have reacted to the temptations of Satan the same way they did.
Even though we are created in the image and likeness
of God, who is LOVE, who is LIFE and who maintains HAPPINESS; Genesis 1:26. We now
have another nature made in the likeness and image of Adam. See Genesis 5:1-3. Our
first image and likeness, like that of God desires love, life and happiness
apart from the judgment. Our second image and likeness, like that of Adam
desires love, life and happiness, but it is under the judgment or curse because
Adam’s image and likeness is of the temporal life of flesh which is selfish,
natural and devilish.
The Authority to save us from God's Judgment or curse is
found only in Jesus Christ the Messiah, You and I will not find true love,
life and happiness apart from a personal, and responsible faith in the Authority of God’s Son.
Matthew 28:16-20, John 3:11-21, John 14:1-11; also read Romans 3:1-31.
