End of the abyss
There is a gap the size of an eternal abyss between us and God. For it is said that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). We have all done wrong against our Creator in our thoughts, in our hearts, and in our actions; hindering a possible encounter and relationship with Him.Lies
Stealing Gossip Fornication rebellion selfishness Promiscuity
Unforgiveness drugs Murder Pornography Abuse Legalism hate
Adultery drunkedness Pride selfishness Idolatry to money and status violence
These are some of the many things we have done in our lives. Truly there is nothing good in us, and I don’t write this to bring you down. I’m simply stating the fact that all these things have created a sea of unrighteousness, an abyss that separates us from the presence of God.
Bummer right?!Well, not quite… Because that abyss no longer exists.After Jesus, the son of God came to Earth to pay the cost of our sins on a cross. He bore the pain and anguish of being neglected, abused, and abandoned by the very people He came to save.Jesus, paid a high prize for Your sins and mine; past, present and future.WHY?! Out of Love
Yet we still abandon Him today…
> When we fail to acknowledge Him as God over all areas of our lives.
> When we deny that Jesus is the son of God.
> When we call ourselves christians, but habitually sin without adrop of regret.
Nevertheless, HE STILL LOVES US AND CONTINUOUSLY FORGIVES US.
A love so deep that death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8: 38
FRIENDS, there is no more gap, no more sea of unrighteouness; but a PATH that allows us to walk toward God to enjoy a relationship with Him.The cross is the gift that Jesus left humankind!
Jesus said:
“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. John 14:6
Why don’t you join me by walking through that way, the cross of Jesus?!t’s simple, just accept Jesus as your Saviour, admit that you have done wrong, and surrender your life to Him. Then He will forgive you of all the things you have done against Him.* If you think you have gone to deep and there is no way back to God, you are wrong. You can come back! He is patiently waiting for you to turn around and seek Him once again. Come to Him, He is all you need. Remember that there is no other way to Him, apart from the cross of Jesus Christ.Further Reading:
