Yesterday we saw that our sin deserves God's wrath and punishment. Is there a way to avoid this? God has provided a way back to Him that makes us fit to be in His presence. We cannot make amends ourselves by doing good things. Nothing we can do will wipe out the sin within us. Salvation is a gift. We have to come to God on His terms. He has provided the only way back to Him. Jesus God's son who is also God the Son has paid the price for sin by giving His life on the cross. All who put their trust in Him and Him alone are brought back into God's favour. So God, who is the wronged party in that we have not loved Him as we should, is the very One who provides salvation for His children. As you read this you will either reject it or believe it. Jesus calls His sheep to follow Him and they hear His voice and follow. Read John 10.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
