Genesis Chapter 3 is undoubtedly our darkest hour. Titled The Fall. A serpent who was more crafty than any other beast of the field slithered into our lives. We were told not to do one thing, and that was eat from a tree. We failed. Since then all men have been born as heathens. We are all depraved, and easily deceived. We deserve eternal heat. We’re all sinners, who on that day instantly changed our fate. God multiplied the pain of childbearing because of our decision, now thorns and thistles spring forth from the Earth, and now we live by the sweat of our own brow.

We would have probably fell too, thats the shame of it. We are our own curse. It’s a shame we left ourselves out in the cold with that decision. It’s a dilemma man alone can’t get out of. We are all sick with a disease known sin. The good news is we have a cure, and that cure is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He can cure this sickness known as sin. Traces of the disease will always linger, because we just can’t rid it from our bodies. Destined to damnation without Him, we are guaranteed to all fall short (Romans 3:23). But it’s ok, it’s beautiful that we deserve nothing yet we can still make it, by the grace and mercy of God we can make it. Thank you God for your Son. Thank you for the opportunity to give the world an antidote for sin. I pray we don’t fail miserably on this one. I pray we run to the shelter you give, and that we never forget the power and capabilities you have.

If you ever need to be humbled read this post. Remember we are nothing without God. He can do this without us, but he chooses to watch over us and to be our Savior. Remember He loved you first.
