January 06, 2023 – The Solution For Sin

January 06, 2023
Daily Reading – Genesis 12 – 14 / Matthew 5

GOD’S WORD:

Genesis 12:2-3 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed..

GETTING INTO GOD’S WORD:

  As a child it is easy to think that at times our parents might not love us. When we have directly disobeyed what they had told us to do, we might think they cannot love me now. Maybe when we had been reckless in life, and our recklessness destroyed something they cherished. It is easy to believe, surly they do not love me for this. It may have been when we were not so kind to one of our siblings or talked back to them that we began to think, I am sure they hate me. This is often how a child begins to become discouraged, thinking real love is tied only to actions. While it may be true that a parent is angry with a child for what they have done, real love is much deeper than a moment in time. A punishment for an action is to help someone understand the seriousness of the situation. During the punishment it may feel as if they do not love them, but it is because of love the parent tries to help a child grown and learn. Love has not been destroyed.

    We have seen God’s creation so disobedient in only eleven chapters, yet God loved them. Man was reckless with God’s perfect design; He still loved them. God has always loved us and had a solution for our sin. That solution is the promised Messiah, Jesus. God tells Abram; “…in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” It is through the lineage of Abram, Jesus comes to us. God has never stopped loving man, nor ever stopped trying to mend our relationship with Him. 

GETTING GOD’S WORD INTO ME:

     Still today, Jesus is the answer for the world. There will never be another solution or another way. We do not need another solution; we need to have faith in God’s solution for sin.

Why would we search for another way when
the creator of humanity has made a way?
