I Gave you My Word!

John 1:1"In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God".

The bible's description of the human condition is that we are sinful and separated from God. Yet God longs to live in loving relationship with us.How can sinful man and a holy God be reconciled? How can that which is rebillious and hateful be reconciled to that which is giving and loving.How can the corrupted become incorruptable?God's answer is Jesus Christ, the word of God made flesh.

Jesus who came as God in human form to show man how to triumph over temptation, to stand during persecution, and to hold on when everyone else has run out.His pure life made him a pure sacrifice satisfying God's requirments for dealing justly with sin.He was the sole that died for the sins of the world. Jesus also being God, when he had successfully met every obstacle to his mission, he exercised his authority over sin and death, setting believers free from the ultimate destruction of these powers.In our human condition we might not be able to relate to Jesus' complete sinlessness, But we can relate to the weakness, vunerability, temptation, pain, loneliness, and loss he suffered while he walked in our shoes.Jesus was tempted in every way, just as we are, yet without sin. We can take comfort in knowing that Jesus understands what we are going through as we travel along on this journey, and has given us the power to resist sin,and the temptations of the flesh,as he has power over all flesh

Jesus is the one and only true savior, who makes our relationship with God a meaningful and genuine reality through his compassion. Jesus humanity makes him able to sympathize with our weaknesses. His diety makes him powerful enough to provide all we need for a life of faith.As believers we are invited to approach him confidently and receive both his compassion and his power,and all he ask is that we believe and obey.
