Wicked and Wretched
We're just a wicked and wretched people.
We want things our own way.
We deny the One Who created us.
We won't accept that we are not own own creation.
We have allowed our mind, body and spirit to be led astray over millenia by satanic influences, and satan is rightly chuckling to himself because of his great accomplishment; the downfall of man, God's beloved Adamic race, mankind.
God's own creation, satan has filled with his sinful ways; abhorrent to God.
The Great Confiict of Heaven and even earth is between the one, who was banished to the air realm of the earth for a time only known to Law Itself; Lucifer who now has the name of "satan."
And because of his deceiving of our foremother and father, Adam and Eve the first type of man, we are sinners in this world. Eve broke the first Law of God; to not eat of the fruit of the Tree in the middle of The Garden of Eden.
Because of Eve and Adam's choices, soul who enters this world, has sin stains on it according to the Holiness of God.
We enter this world as a sinner.
That is what satan did to us.
He didn't know God's Plan for the human race. It was just another creation to him. He too is created, was full of beauty; having much power alloted to him. But satan didn't know everything (He's not God,) he plotted and planned a great uprising in Heaven, which has led to The Great Conflict of God dealing by His Perfect Law with the great angel Lucifer's deception.
Rejecting God has led Lucifer to be away from His Presence. When God removed every last essence of Himslef, Lucifer became satan a wholly evil being; but a being which has to struggle for it's existence, for the One Who created it, is going to destroy it, when the time is right; when it has had every chance to do it's most evil acts; which are all directed at the heart of God.
Satan tries with all his might, using the fallen angels (other created beings) to entice every human away from belief in God. It won't matter to him if we never get to spend Eternity with our Maker in Peace and Joy. He just wants to hurt God by ruining God's Plan for us; but this will never be fully realized.
It should matter to us. But, it is a very difficult thing for humans to comprehend how Good and Perfect God Is; so we take the easy way and follow satan who hides his depravity, cruelty, and hate from us, posing as a being of light and wonderful things, a giver of seductive gifts, until we are firmly entrenched in non-belief for a Good and Mighty God.
Once we are his, slaves in bondage to his whims, his ideas, his thoughts, he unleashes every bad and ugly scenario on us until he either, steals our soul, kills our body, or destroys our mind.
If he can get us into that state of human slavery, where he has us blame God for every bad thing that we experience, he has a very good chance of removing us from this earth as unbelievers in God. That is his only aim for humans. He's never going to share anything good in the afterlife. He has no good thing in him.
He is going to be defeated!
And if we leave this earth, die, being a follower of satan; we are doomed to eternity with satan.
But, if we are blessed to have believing parents, they will have taught us about Jesus our Saviour Lord and King. Our road in life will be easier for we will return to Him.
If we have had parents who were easy going with us, but never even spoke of God, then we are at a loss already. It is the rare human who comes to Jesus after being an unbeliever all their life. (It means admitting the parents were wrong and despairing for the unsaved loved ones.)
If we have had parents who hated anything to do with God, and never wanted Him to be mentioned, then all attempts by anyone, to show us a loving God will be futile.
Those early years are important for us to hear about God.
It is when we come to know in our heart; that He loves us; that He is always with us; that He will forgive us; that He will heal and provide for us when we stay close to Him, believing He Is All Things and Above All Things.
The Great I Am.
But God has made us so that at any time in our sojurn on earth, we are able to know Him.
He has made a Way that is Perfect; that satan was not aware of until too late.
His Son; with the Name of Immanuel, Jesus Christ, came to pay The Price for all our sins and went to The Cross willingly to have His body crucified, and tortured with lashes and beatings. His Pure Holy Blood was shed as The Spotless Lamb; for that is what He Is, even today, The Spotless Lamb of God who was slain for the world.
That One Act of Love and Goodness was a New Covenant with humankind; the descendants of Adam and Eve; for all who would believe that Jesus came to earth, He was crucified, He died for our sins, He rose to Heaven in a Glorified Body to sit at the Right Hand of The Father, having fulfilled the Plan of God to install a New Covenant with those who will believe on earth and deny satan.
Then, those who accept, are not wicked, nor wretched; we are children of God, heirs of Christ, sons and daughters of The King, beloved sheep in The Fold of Jesus our Shepherd, Loved by The Father, Son and Spirit of God.
