A Daily Devotional – JESUS – The Eternal Word
Comment: While the following verses in Psalm
7 is not absolute evidence that each of us have personal pitfalls, there is
evidence in the Holy Bible that we all do. “Behold
the wicked travails with iniquity, conceives trouble and brings forth
falsehood. He made a pit and dug it out, and has fallen into the ditch which he
made. His trouble shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealings
shall come down on his own head”. The failure of mankind throughout history
is preserved for us in the Holy Bible; no other historical writing provides
this information.
Devotional:
ALL other writings considered sacred
or secular project the thought of man’s innate goodness will eventually win out,
and that if there is a problem; being that his or her unrighteous deeds are
much like the chronic cold As if, it will happen but not his or her fault and
with proper care it will go away.
Wickedness in the heart of man is permanent; not
chronic. In the Holy Bible the words found in Romans 3:10-18 provide proof that
wickedness (sin) is imbedded in mankind, or as the Psalm above reveals, mankind
is pregnant with sin, (also see James 1:13-15). Of the nine counts recorded
against mankind’s righteousness in Romans 3, none of them are removed by any
human effort.
Even the law of God which reveals this condition of
mankind’s heart does not remove sin. Those who seek to live by the practice,
preaching and teaching of salvation by works are fools and failures in the eyes
of the LORD. Therefore, those who seek righteousness by keeping the law of God
are debtors to keep the whole law.
Sin, wickedness, unrighteousness or whatever you wish
to call it can only be removed from the personal life of mankind by God
Himself. It is removed from your life and mine by accepting from God, His
offering of a Sacrificial Gift. John 3:16 could not be made more clear: “For God loved the world that He gave
(gifted) His only begotten Son, that whosoever believed (received) in Him (the
gift) should not perish but have everlasting life.
There is much more to be said, but time is running
out, not only here today at the computer, but also for those who at this point
in their life are still struggling with taking God’s promise by faith and
having their sins covered in Blood of God’s sacrificial gift.
