Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ!
Jesus had a plan when entering the world. He came to seek and to save the lost, and to give His life as a ransom for many. He also gave His followers specific instructions before leaving earth and returning to heaven and His throne. They were simple: you will be My witnesses, go therefore and make more followers of Me and My teachings.
Countless millions live their lives on planet earth with emptiness and no real direction other than personal satisfaction and immediate gratification. They are the lost that Jesus came to seek and to save. To them we say, Jesus Christ is your Creator, He made you alive and keeps you alive every breath and heartbeat. He created the world, heavens and all that is in them. Simply put, no one lives without Him. But still countless millions still live for themselves and not for their Creator and God Jesus Christ. Why? The Bible calls this SIN. SIN is a steady indifferent numbness to God or simply anything we think, say or do that does not measure up to God's standard as the Creator and Sustainer of our life.
Sin leads millions to do all the things that God their Creator hates. Things like: murder, rape, incest, pornography, adultery, fornication, abortion, drunkenness, drugs, homosexuality, lying, stealing, cheating, forgery, fraud, hatred, divorce, anger, wrath, bitterness, pride and arrogance, worship of false gods instead of the ONE TRUE GOD Jesus Christ, and anything else you and any rational person deems as evil or wrong and more importantly that God our Creator says is wrong and evil. It is because of these things that the Bible tells us that the wrath of God is coming, upon all those who commit such things.
Keep looking up!
