Question! “If Jesus came and died for our sins, why are there still sin in the world?“

Jesus our redeemer and salvation. Jesus came to deliver us from the consequences of sin. Sin still abound because we allow it when we don’t rebuke it, now that we are so knowledgeable about it. Taking control of it is in following in the footsteps of Jesus. We must follow Jesus, the perfect example of how to overcome sin, by being one with God. Remembering when Jesus said, “to see me is to see the Father”(John 14:9) “The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing His work(John 14:10). This showed me that Jesus lived for the will of the Father to be done in him without wavering. Like so many men and women of the Bible, God’s will is written with in us all, but like Adam and Eve for some of us, we allow temptation and the distractions of the enemy to overcome us.

What do I mean by the will of God is written within us? For example, when the devil told Jesus to turn the stone into bread and Jesus said, “ it is written, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that…”(Matthew 4:3-4). Jesus wasn’t talking about the what was written in the Bible, but rather what God has written within our spirit. The devil wasn’t trying to defeat Jesus the divine, but Jesus the man.

There’s only a few chosen people who have an intimate relationship with God to be true leaders (shepherd) in the world. We can’t be so ignorant with those who just doesn’t believe or can’t understand the way we do with our faith. You who are chosen, like Moses have to let Gods light shines within and through you that others may believe. The feeling of being superior of others and their faith (religion) is so very wrong. When we can’t in our actions, show the true light of God and not darkness, we are not worthy. God is love and if we can’t have love, even for those who doesn’t believe like we do, then we are not of God. God alone knows how, what and when they would change. All we have to do is pray for them.

Jesus brought to us the unconditional love of God for all of humanity. He took all our sins upon himself and give us grace instead. Look at what Jesus took upon himself for us that is considered sin, doing good for others, healing, miracles, feeding thousands, then being betrayed, mocked and spat on, beaten, scourged and forsaken by love ones due to fear and then murdered (crucified) for no reason, not even being found guilty of one wrong doing. What does it say about us when we do consider what is truly evil or sin within us. Think about this the sin wasn’t anything Jesus has done or being. It was our action toward him for no reason that was the sin in us he allowed us to play out by crucifying him because of fear, envy and jealousy. Kinda sound like what Cain did to his brother Abel. And here we were thinking we were doing good for God sake by killing Jesus. The cross was and is very important to us and for us because it was the place that Jesus recognized who and what truly possessed us and said, “Father forgive them for they know not what they do!”

The “C-word” Cancer

We take for granted our health. “If it’s not broken no need to fix it.”Some of us feels the same way about our physical and mental health. As long as we feel ok and we can move around and do the things we’re accustomed doing, even with a little pain and discomfort, as long as we can get through it, then, nothing is really wrong. We always wait until it’s more than we can handle to realize something is seriously wrong, like severe pain causing immobility

Here I am counting down the days until I find out the results of my biopsy and she died. This is the second time I am on this path. The first time I was terrified, just thought of cancer petrified me. But the closer my relationship got with the Lord and I’ve become more mature as His child, I fear no more rather this kills me or not, because no matter what, one day I will pass on, death is inevitable. I am not going to spend my time worrying about when and how I am going to die. As long as God is with me whenever, however it is alright with me. How can I have faith in God and fear death. My faith will carry me into the arms of my saviour in death as it has kept me here on this earth through the good and the bad.

Look how the devil is so wicked, two days ago my son wife lost her mother to breast cancer. God call her home from all her suffering. We had a good heart felt conversation as two mothers, at our grandson birthday party. I told her to fight, stop wearing black clothing like she’s mourning her life already. So I went out and bought her some uplifting colours of clothing to wear. This was not her first battle, she’d fought before and won, but it came back. I believed in my heart she was going to win this one also. But the phone call that morning brought me to tears, and I can’t stop thinking about her as one mother to another, OMG! For it was only a few weeks we had our conversation about God, life, health and family and now she’s dead. I cried for almost an hour. I heard a voice in my head saying, “ this could be you next.” But I know the devil is liar! I haven’t gotten my results yet and for a second reality of it did hit me, but in Jesus almighty name, I rebuke the devil to get behind me. I felt it in my spirit that my son mother-in-law knew this was going to be it for her, because when she said they couldn’t operate anymore, they would try a new medication that may give her a few more years to live, if it works, she then smiled and said, “ whatsoever God’s plan, I believes in Jesus, I have faith, I’m not afraid.”

Her death makes me want to live and not take for granted every moment of this life. She suffered really suffered because she had refused to take stronger medication to help with the pain as to not be incoherent to her love ones. She sacrificed herself for her love ones. She was brave and so strong…Sorry I can’t write anymore my heart is breaking.
