"Only God!"

 

“Only God!”

 

The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice.  He saw that there was no one, He was appalled that there was no one to intervene; so His own arm achieved salvation for Him and His Own Righteousness sustained Him.      Isaiah 59:15b-16

 

The nation of Israel, at the time that the Prophet Isaiah was addressing them, was very CORRUPT SPIRITUALLY, because of their LACK of JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS, they were living in SPIRITUAL DARKNESS, and suffering from SPIRITUAL BLINDNESS and SPIRITUAL DEATH was knocking at their door.  The Prophet took it upon himself to confess that the SINS of the nation were MANY.  They were in DELIBERATE REBELLION against the Almighty God.  LYING, INJUSTICE, and DISHONESTY seemed to rule the day. 

 

The Lord LOOKED on the nation and was DISPLEASED, there was NO JUSTICE.  And worse yet, there was NO ONE to INTERVENE.  They NEEDED a SAVIOR.  The nation of Israel, could NOT SAVE themselves from their SINS.  ONLY GOD could SAVE the DISTRAUGHT, DOOMED nation.  And so, it is with ANY NATION, when they REBELL against GOD and His Laws, and REJECT His ONE and ONLY SON, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  They are DOOMED to FALL. 

 

It is the same with mankind, mankind can NOT SAVE themselves from their sins, nor can they make themselves PLEASING in God’s sight.  And they too are DOOMED to an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY of ESCAPE, after they are there.  ONLY GOD, can SAVE them from this DESTINY.  He sent His SON, Jesus, to die in the place of mankind, for the FORGIVENESS of their SINS. It is ONLY through the SHED BLOOD of JESUS, that mankind can be SAVED and become a TRUE CHILD of the LIVING GOD. 

 

Now, it is YOUR place to ACCEPT His invitation to become a part of His Family.  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to God, then you are NOT HIS CHILD, UNTIL you WILLINGLY TURN AWAY FROM your sinful lifestyle, and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST CONFESS your sins to Him, and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  Then BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in HEAVEN, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION, because ONLY GOD can SAVE YOU! And RECEIVE an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s waiting and COMING SOON!!!
