1 Tim.2: 5-6 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all, which is the testimony given at the proper time.
In the Old Testament God called out prophets to communicate through human mediation. This was our sermon on Sunday, the point being, now we have Christ who is our prophet. He is the very presence of holy God. We have been reconciled by Jesus and now have direct access to God through Him. We must guard our relationship with Him at all cost. He is the word of God brought to life. He is God's glory and our promise. Our pastor brought out an interesting thought on prayer, even heathens pray. In the OT they prayed to the Baals, Molech and various other gods. It is not the act of prayer but who you pray to!!
Lord, protect us from idolatry. Amen 1 Col.3:5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 1 Cor.:5-6 For although there may be so-called gods in heaven or on earth—as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"— yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
