The Wrongs Which Separates Us From God

"But your wrongs have separated you from your God, and your sins have made him hide his face so that he doesn't hear you." (Isaiah 59:2)

At some point everyone of us wonders, "Why I'm I here on earth?" We are all God's creatures, and our life makes sense only if we lead it in a proper relationship with God. This is where the difficulty lies and makes us ask these questions. Our disturbed relationship with God has been caused by our sins.
If we are honest, we shall admit that we do things knowing them to be wrong. Sometimes they make us feel thoroughly ashamed. In addition, the egotism in our lives has an adverse effect, separating us not only from some people, but, above all, from God.
What we truly need is forgiveness, to put our relationship with God in order. Someone suffering from cancer needs a doctor, whether he realizes it or not. The same applies to us regarding forgiveness. Once we acknowledge our problem, we can confess our guilt of sin to God, and He will forgive us for Jesus' sake. He forgives us because Jesus Christ fulfilled the righteous demands of our holy God and paid our debt. Whoever accepts this by faith, has peace with God. Whoever puts his trust in Jesus Christ, receives more than just forgiveness. God grants the believer eternal life, a life that goes beyond death, so that our relationship with God lasts throughout all eternity.

The foolishness of the message

Since God in His wisdom saw to it that the world would never find Him through human wisdom,He has used our foolish preaching to save all who believe. God's way seems foolish to the jews because they want a sign from heaven to prove it is true.And it is foolisi to the Greeks because they believe only what agrees with their own wisdom. So when we preach that christ was crusified,the Jews are offended and the Gentiles say it's all nonsense. But to those called bx God to salvation,both Jews and Gentiles,Christ is the mighty power of God and the wonderful wisdom of God. -1 Corinthians 1:21-24. The foolishness of the message The American evangelist Torrey was just leaving the hall after giving an address on the Bible,when a person unknown to him approached him and said,"I admire your conviction and your sincerity,but what you have said is foolishness,like the entire gospel." Torrey took his Bible and said,"You are quite right.That's exactly what God s...

Last Minute Convert 2

Last Minute Convert "Bert's hit and he's down, " shouted Jim. He could see that Bert's wound was fatal. The fighting was intense along the "Traverse Trench" in France during World War I. As Jim tried to stop the bleeding, he was startled by Bert's dying question :"Can you tell me the way to heaven? " Jim moved closer and said, "Bert, I'm sorry. I don't know the way. But I'll ask the others. " He ran along the trench asking those nearby, but no one knew. The request was passed down the line to sixteen men, but none of them knew the way to heaven. Think of it! These young soldiers from a so called "Christian " country could not help their dying friend. They were all facing death, but none knew the way to heaven! When a man is dying on the battlefield, he needs the truth - not opinions or speculations. Good works, baptism, confirmation, communion and rituals were not going to help Bert who was dy...

A Perfect Example Of Forgiveness

A Perfect Example Of Forgiveness Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them. They don't know what they're doing. " Most of you our beloved friends, knows this saying of the Lord Jesus very well. But are we aware of the circumstances under which it was said? He was hanging on the cross with wounds in His hands and feet, suffering excruciating pain and thirst. Round the place of execution stood the soldiers who had just driven the nails through His hands and feet. Perhaps they had done so with the in sensibility normal to their profession amid the mockery of their callous comrades. The Bible mentions the biting contempt of the leaders of the nation. Sympathetic spectators may have thought :"Surely they can't be so callous and take His life! " But that was their intention. Maybe some believed that such a helpless person needed support. Others might have prevented it, believing that only ĺow criminals deserved no sympathy. Only a short while be...
