The absolute Truth: Only God is good
Who hasn't learned and taught, or still teaches, that we must be good?
Well, today we are going to learn something quite different, a true spotlight from the Holy Scriptures for us, which can eliminate every feeling of guilt you carry.
And I begin by stating, with great certainty, that wanting to be good is diabolical. Why is this a deliverance? Because you and I are all the same, and evil by nature. Therefore, a malignant burden was diabolically placed upon us, that of thinking we must be good, when it is written, and very clearly, that only God is good. That being so, wanting to be good is wanting to be like God, and that was the reason for the fall of the Evil One. He planted this seed in the human heart, back in the Garden of Eden, and it deceives us still today.
Beautiful truth: We are all evil and only God is good
Some beautiful biblical truths that do not fit our Christian practice:
Human beings are evil by nature Gn 6:5
The whole world is under the power of the evil one 1Jo 5:19
Jesus was not good Lc 18:19
The apostle Paul confessed that he could not do good, but kept doing evil Rm 7:19
The devil tempted Eve and Adam using the word of God Gn 3:1
The devil tempted Jesus using the word of God Lc 4:9-11
Could the devil still be tempting Christians with the word of God!?
Knowing the truth is liberating Jo 8:32
Only God is good Lc 18:19
Understanding this opens our minds to accept and understand the work of Jesus Christ, which has little or nothing to do with the deceptions practiced by Christians, with the best of intentions.
Conclusion: God is good and accepts us as we are
Today, I repent of many things I preached, because I learned them that way, and so I taught them. But the biblical truth is infinitely simpler and more beautiful. Therefore, our challenge is to leave behind what is behind us and follow the truth that sets us free.
Does this make any sense to you?
LET THERE BE LIGHT! PEACE! AMEN!
