God Owns It, but Satan Runs it For Now

Everything in heaven and earth belongs to Almighty God. He created it all, and He hasn’t given up on mankind to bring us through this life in victory (Genesis 1:1-31). The earth is the Lord’s and everything and everyone in this world belongs to God (Psalm 24:1). When He gave dominion and authority to mankind in the beginning, before the devil got into the picture, we were in control of a peaceful, sinless, trouble free world. But once Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit things changed to appear God was not in the picture. Once they obeyed the devil, by eating the fruit, Satan took over. He actually has the legal right for now, based on the disobedience that took place in the garden of Eden. Because of this disobedience by mankind, we are living in a world owned by God but totally influenced and ruled by the devil. It would seem God is nowhere to be found. God gave us a go of running the planet but we dropped the ball in the garden, so the Lord made arrangements for those who still are interested in having things restored like before Satan got in. Salvation is available to all who want it. In spite of this messed up world, God’s greatness, power, and love for mankind caused Him to send Jesus to fix everything. Choose Him and live the life originally intended by God. The time is short before His return.
