To Destroy Him Without Reason

Job 2:3 And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you incited me against him to destroy him without reason."


We wonder why when tragedy strikes! We wonder who or what to blame!  We ask a lot of if questions! We actually think we are in charge! The Bible is clear that because we live in a fallen sinful world, sin will take it's toll on sinners! That is why we should hate all manner of sin. Sin is evil! Sin destroys! Satan is a liar and a tempter! It is very clear that Satan is out to destroy man and will use his cunning to do so! The Bible also tells us Who our hope is found in. It is Christ Jesus who was obedient to His Father's plan. Fulfilling the Father's will, by His death on a cross, so that we could be reconciled to a holy God. Christ precious blood literally covers over our sin so that we can be holy and righteous before God. It is a gift, you can not repay! It is unmerited! It is not a prayer, but a heart change. Broken, obedient and falling before His throne of mercy and grace. Have you been there? Is it only by grace that you are saved? All power and authority has been given to the Son! We, as believers, are to tell the world, that Christ alone saves! There is no other way, no other God! Only Christ is the true living God and all power and forgiveness is His! He has risen and sits at the right hand of God, ever interceding on our behalf. Our time is short, today may be our last! Will you read God's written word? Will you seek the truth of the power of Christ? Will you share that knowledge? 

Lord, give us boldness to snatch the perishing souls from Hell! Loose our tongues with the fire of Your salvation. Do not give us peace unless we proclaim You to the nations! Amen
