Three Problems With Laodicea. Part [8] 07/05/2023 (Morning thought)

Psalms 53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. 3 Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

If stranded on a remote island at birth, without any Facebook, or Instagram, or Twitter, for them to learn how to do evil, children will end up doing sin all on their own. The bad behaviors are generated involuntarily by the sheer force of sinful human nature.  Esau and Jacob were not watching Mc-Gregor in the womb, on Netflix in order to learn how to fight.

The behavior they manifested is the natural by-product of sinful human nature, and this is what God points us to as the reason why we need Jesus, and the new heart and mind that comes with His salvation. In other words, they do not need to choose to fight for according to the scriptures, our natural bent is to do evil, to retaliate, to seek revenge, and, like those unruly sperm we spoke of earlier to seek the highest place.

And these latent tendencies are indigenous in all descendants of Adam and Eve, who are born upon planet earth. Hence the reason why the beatitudes Christ taught us in Matthew chapter 5, present to us a virtual impossibility, without the intervention and salvation that is found in Christ alone.

Romans 7:22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
