PART 2 OF 2: We serve a great, powerful, living God. Since the fall of man, our relationship with God (as a whole) has been broken and, basically, non-existent. We have turned our backs on His master plan for mankind and have taken on the ideals of a lust-filled, sinful nature where the primary objective is to satisfy oneself. This “mentality” has come through knowledge, AND ACCEPTANCE, of man’s wisdom. As James 3: 15-16 states, “…This wisdom descendeth not from above but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” As the congregation of Israel and Christians by faith, we have to shed this worldly mentality, turn back to our first love, and receive the BALM that is freely given by God through Jesus Christ.
