Life is a radical event that begins when a sperm
fertilizes an egg. At the moment of conception, this newly formed
cell is infected with sin, and every pregnancy for close to 7,000
years has experienced the same corruption ever since Adam and Eve
made the fateful decision to rebel against God. Jesus introduced the
antidote 2,000 years ago, which effectively slows down the
consequences of sin. It is found in the blood shed at Calvary when
Jesus hung on the cross and paid for the sins of mankind.
Sin makes humanity evil and God is using the Holy Spirit to restrain
the evil in people and keep them from destroying this planet. Even
so, it was still necessary for the Lord to flood the earth and kill
mankind with the exception of eight people. God intervened a second
time at the tower of Babel when the descendants of Noah worked to
create an evil world government. As a result, God has set up a
special angelic command that monitors political leaders and removes
them when they become too evil.
Sin won't be eradicated until your physical body dies and you are
taken to heaven but it is possible to rely upon the Holy Spirit for
guidance and make sure there is a way to escape temptation. |
