What Is At The Bottom Of Our Troubles?People have always struggled with this age-old question: What is at the bottom of our troubles? No matter how hard we try,education and money never seem to erase our troubles. Instead,they seem to increase our awareness of them. The poorest as well as the richest are affected. An inner voice keep telling us something is missing. We feel " out of tune" with the Almighty God to whom we are accountable.
THE REAL CAUSE
Our troubles are only symptoms. The real cause is sin,or rebellion against God's will. Self-will rises up against God and His sovereign right over us. Sin in the heart work itself out in the life in different degrees and ways; but the result are the same-wrong doing because of wrong choosing. Sin not only offends God,but it also harm the sinner:
" He who sins......injured himself."(Proverb 8:36). We are warn that "you will always harvest what you plant."( Galatians 6:7). The effects of sin are sure,both here and in the hereafter.
DEATH NO CURE
Many will like to think that all their troubles ends when they die; but death is no cure for sin,nor does it end the misery of the sinner. According to Revelation 21:8,all unrepented sinners " shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone,which is the second death." We know men suffer now because of sin. But consider what sin will mean in the hereafter,when all the world's interests,excitements,and illusions are over,and the unrepentant soul experiences the dread reality of God's judgement for sin! We can not save ourselves- our soul's enemy is too strong for us. There is no remedy for sin in political changes,environmental changes,physical or mental changes or scientific advances. Codes of honor or ethics don't work either.
THE ONLY CURE
Only the one whom we have sinned against can save us from the burden and penelty of sin: " There is salvation in no one else. God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved."(Acts 4:12). Only the death of Jesus Christ could pay the overwhelming debt of sin and secure for us divine forgiveness: " The blood of Jesus,His son ,cleanses us from all sin.". Christ is eager to save you:" For the son of man came to seek and save those who are lost."(Luke 19:10). " My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life."(John 10:10).
THE CHOICE IS YOURS
Do you want to be free from the guilt and power of sin? Then come to the Lord Jesus now and confess your sins to Him,believing that He suffered and died to take them away. He promised,"The ones who come to me I will never reject them."(John 6:37). Won't you come to Him right now?
