When God created man, He made him in His image. God gave us a free will to choose whatever we wanted. God was hoping that man would choose Him. But man had other ideas. God had to deal with this loss. Because of this loss, God had to made provisions in His laws so that man could come back to Him. Otherwise man would be a total loss. It is not that God has not had a people who have followed Him. All throughout the ages there have been people who have been faithful to God. God tried starting over with Noah. But man decided to go back to his fallen state. Serving God isn’t the hardest thing that I have ever done. It takes a conscious decision and commitment to follow God. It is a daily decision. It is easier to go back to the fallen state. But it doesn’t stay that way. Sin is fun for a season, then it becomes slavery. Guess who is the taskmaster for sin? God opened the way for man to be able to come back. The cost of that commitment to man is very high. God gave Jesus a choice to do His will or not. Jesus decided to pay the price for us. No greater love has any man than one lay down his life for another. God gave His son for our sins so we could make it back to heaven. I talked about people talking more these days and not really communicating. What I am saying is to communicating God’s love for man. Anyone can know the love of God if they are willing to approach God. He is not going to kill us because of our sins. You see the sin in our life is already killing us. God wants to release us from that death sentence. Thank God.
