We are forever the scum of the Earth. We are creatures that have been destined to fail, and our continual failure is permanent. We started off with a clean slate, but Adam and Eve messed up. Then God flooded the world and we received yet another clean slate. I don’t have to say we messed up again; it’s obvious. Just look at the world we live in. Sin is prevalent. We just can’t seem to get it right. Peter denied Him and Judas betrayed Him. These two even got to see His miracles, they actually walked and talked with Him. And they still messed up. Even if we, in this day and age, physically saw the Christ we would still fail. We would doubt, and still fall away. Our sin will forever get in the way of us and God, and history proves it. But God really wants us to be with Him. He truly does care, and He recognizes our faults. So He decided to make it permanent. He sent His son in the midst of it all, and now we are born again.

Rejoice my brothers and sisters because Christ came and permanently saved us from our sins. His love is permanent, it’s continual. And because of that we can continually rejoice. The Word became flesh to suppress our danger. He was born into a family of sinners. Christ walked among us, teaching us the code, guiding us through life. The Holy Spirit guides us now. Christ came for our survival, and because of Him we can escape the flames. We are no longer permanently doomed because of sin, but permanently saved. He came, healed the sick, rose Lazarus from the dead, and fed thousands when they didn’t have enough food. He is permanently with us.
