The Most Terrible Thing

After the creation of man, God expected man to be absolutely obedient to Him. Unfortunately, man disappointed God by the terrible deceit of the devil which left a giant wound on man's destiny. God was seriously sad with this event yet He did not want man to utterly perish. For this reason, He made a sacrifice of atonement for man's sin by shedding the blood of bulls yet God was not satisfied with it 

“For it is not possible for the blood of bulls and goats really to take away sins”. Hebrews 10:4 (TLB). 

Jesus now had to come to shed His own blood once and for all.  

“Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins.” Hebrews 9:14 (NLT)

Wonderful prophecies had gone forth before the birth of Jesus. The angels announced His birth with happiness. The trinity manifested themselves on the day of His baptism. Moses and Elijah visited Him during His earthly ministry; an angel also came from heaven to strengthen him in the agonizing night at Gethsemane being few hours to His death. He was condemned to death by the Jews (His own people) on the cross. While He was on the cross, heaven went far away from Him, the angels flew off, His own Father could not behold Him as He suffocate to death, He was left alone to carry the sins of man while He cried out saying "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46 (NIV). Eventually, He died right there on the cross. This event terminated the sin of man through Adam.

The Scripture says, “But if you keep on sinning, it shows that you belong to Satan, who since he first began to sin has kept steadily at it. But the Son of God came to destroy these works of the devil.” 1 John 3:8 (TLB)

It's now the choice of man to accept that sacrifice to restore himself back to God or remain an eternal enemy of God. The Good Book says, “The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who refuses to believe in the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.” John 3:36 (HCSB).

If anyone now has to ignore this option of life, his number one enemy is his Maker.

The Bible says, “It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God!” Hebrews 10:31 (HCSB). 

When God is your enemy, who can you run to that will deliver you? The anger of God is the most terrible thing ever that man could experience. The anger is so terrible that

 “they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb,” Revelation 6:16 (HCSB).

For you to escape this terrible thing, there is only one alternative - JESUS CHRIST, who will be your lawyer before your Maker.

To accept Jesus, say this prayer with a sorrowful heart.

LORD JESUS, I ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU INDEED CAME TO DIE FOR MY SINS. COME INTO MY HEART THIS DAY, CLEANSE ME WITH YOUR BLOOD. WRITE MY NAME INTO THE BOOK OF LIFE. I PROMISE NOT TO GO BACK TO SIN ANYMORE, UPHOLD ME WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO THE END IN JESUS NAME. AMEN
