Theme for the Week: THE WHOLE WORLD STANDS CONDEMNED
Reading: Genesis 6:1-8
_______________________
Genesis 6:6 (NIV)
The Lord was grieved that he had made man on the earth, and his heart was filled with pain.
Many people would wonder why the all powerful and all sufficient Creator could not have known that man will choose to follow after wickedness, that it grieved Him to have created man. God does not change, so why does He repents of making man?
Every good father will grieve when he sees his children go astray. That was the reason for the writer's choice of words, so that humans can comprehend.
The Lord God knew about the fall of man and the path of wickedness that man will choose, by which the whole world stands condemned, but it is in His nature to show mercy. For this reason, Christ was sacrificed before the foundation of the world, and at the appointed time, He became flesh and was crucified for our transgressions.
Dear friend, it is man who changes from time to time, but not God: He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Let us repent of our evil ways and ran back to our Father, who is ever ready to show us love and mercy beyond measure.
Stay blessed.
Let's Pray:
Thank You Jehovah for loving us unconditionally. Father, order our step from the path of wickedness, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
