"If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.”
I have been meditating on Genesis for a while now, and it has truly helped me to learn the root problems of the human being. The Spirit of God has helped me to see the spiritual battle that all humans face with good and evil, sin and righteousness. We are born with a fallen nature, disconnected from God and easily swayed to do wrong, to commit sinful acts, and please ourselves, giving in to the lusts of the flesh and the carnal mind.
The only way to change our lives and our circumstances is to be re-connected to God and become a partaker of the Divine Nature of God. And that is only accomplished by believing in Jesus Christ, applying His teachings to our lives, and being baptized in water and the Holy Spirit. There is no other way for a soul to saved!
God created man with free will, a mind to choose to do what is right or what is wrong. As God said, if we do wrong there will be consequences, sin will enter your soul, you will be corrupted by it, you will be oppressed by it, and you will give satan a foothold in your life, to ruin it and ultimately cause you to die in your sins and enter Hell, to await your final judgment. But all that can be avoided IF you do what is right! And it's certainly not easy to go against billions of people all doing wrong, your family members, friends and co-workers. Most everyone looks at those who do right, as a "goody two-shoes", "holier than thou", etc.... and will not want to be around you, because you don't do what they do, and you don't live like they live. But the Lord calls His people to come out of the world and be separate!
If we do what is right we will be blessed in whatever we do, God will be with us. But if we do wrong we separate ourselves from God and He becomes our enemy, and if God is your enemy you have no hope! Which is why we all need JESUS! We need help to overcome this world, our fallen nature, and the devil who deceives the whole world!
We must fight against evil, and doing what is wrong, we must consciously choose to do what is right every single day! The Lord promised those who believe and follow Him, that He would never leave or forsake them, so today if you hear the Lord's voice don't harden your hearts and keep doing what is wrong, stop and listen to the voice of God and choose what is right!
In Jesus Name!
