Sin Has Kept us Bound From the God Potential in Us

The only way God could receive us as His own people was to first get rid of the sin problem in mankind. We serve a Holy God where as, if we were to stand before Almighty God with the sin nature still in us, His presence could kill us. He repels sin, it burns up in His presence. This is why the Lord sent Jesus to earth, to destroy the works of the devil for which sin has played a big part in. If the devil can get us to agree with, and participate in the sin nature still in our bodies, then he has control. Without us invoking the word of God against Satan’s schemes, we will be of no use to the Lord and wont be able to conform to His will for us. When God first created the world and mankind, He said it is good. But when the devil tricked Eve in the garden, with her husband Adam standing right there with her, mankind gave legal authority to the devil. The world’s been a mess ever since. Thank God for Jesus the Lord and Savior of the world who became the living good news for all people. We now have sonship and are recognized as God’s sons and daughters because of Jesus Christ.
