We all know there are no perfect people, we all sin in our rebellious natures by turning from God. Sinful pride ignoring God has led man’s thinking far, far astray. Shunning God is a life of unconscious war with the Almighty Creator. God graciously gave and still offers His Son Jesus, as a gift to make peace with all sinners. Sinners come to Jesus one at a time.
Accepting God’s gift ends the war. Our weakened remaining rebellious sin nature is still prone to resist God. But our new Godly spirit fights against sin and grows by following Christ. Believing God is real and having faith in Jesus is the first step on the path of peace. 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
Lord Jesus the Great Physician healing men’s darkened souls teaches only those who are redeemed, He alone is the Great Light and Healer.
John 3:15-21 “that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned: but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 for everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
Jesus is the key to unlock peace with God, heaven and joy. God wants to love us more, through His Son by taking us into His eternal love.

The loving kindness of God is seen in His Son, who is the Messiah revealed in the New Testament. In the book of Colossians 1:25-29 the apostle Paul speaks of his ministry, according to the stewardship from God, to fulfill the word of God. Believers and followers of God the Son, adore the Almighty Fathers unfolding plans.
Verse 26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His Saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. 29 To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.

God saves souls believing in Christ and directs His vessels of salvation as He chooses. Bible believing American’s are guided by God’s truth. Discerning between good and evil our Christian conscience is led by trusting God. Our new life is led, fed and blessed with our obedience to the Bible, the gift of the Holy Scriptures.
The hearts of most American’s have grown very cold toward God and the great house of America has lost its Christian foundation. The United States is not standing firm in the storms that are here now, assailing our values.
Learning from the Old Testament in the book of Habakkuk, God heard the prophet’s cry asking for righteousness to be restored to the land. But a decree was sent from God. He was going to send a severe, horrible and wicked people to deal with sin in the land, someday. Eventually that day came!
In response to America’s choice to slide away from God, God’s less sever judgments have been unfolding onto America for decades. Perhaps more sever judgments are coming. How much longer will God allow man’s unjust sinful pride to mock Him? The Bible is clear on what is sin but Americans continue to endorse sin by making sin legal. A Holy God hates sin.

Psalm 74:10 Oh God, how long will the adversary reproach? Will the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
God gave His Son, but there will be a moment when His gift of salvation stops.
Therefore we tell all and some will come to salvation on the path of peace. Pray for Jesus to come into your life as Savior and Lord.
