Chained to sin

Have you really ever given any thought to the fact that before you were saved, you were a slave of sin? You see, God can't look upon sin, so He could not except us as we were. Ever since Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the garden of Eden, mankind has been born into sin and is by all my understanding, a slave to it. Sometimes we fight against it, but the sinful nature of mankind is much too powerful to win the fight alone. God knew that we as slaves would need someone to purchase us from the slave market of sin. It couldn't be God, nor could it be a man because as stated before all mankind was born into slavery. So God sent Jesus to a virgin's womb, to be born as a man. Both God and man, yes that would work. He could buy us back from the slave market. He could pay the price for all that wanted to follow Him.

And He did pay the price. The only remission for sin is the blood from a spotless sacrificed. Jesus was that sacrifice, spotless and Holy. He was the only way, for God would except none other.

Now we have Jesus to fight for us. He rose from the dead, so we would have victory over the grave. Then He went back to sit by His Heavenly father. He showed His Heavenly father the book with all the people's names that He has redeemed. And that blood that spilt is still working even today. Yes He's still redeeming and adding names to the book every day. And whenever there is any accusation against us! He's defending all by saying "covered by the blood" What a great Savior we have. Is your name in that book?

Until next time God bless. Remember any blessing that is truly a blessing comes from God.
