There's Good News

 

God created a beautiful world, complete with everything His creatures would need.  He looked on His creation and saw “that it was good” (Genesis 1:31).  It was good because it came from His good creative hand.  He created it for His pleasure. 

 For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people; he will beautify the meek with salvation” Psalm 1.4).

Among God’s creation were a man and a woman who were given the opportunity to live in this wonderful paradise He had created for them.

But there was a dilemma.  Man and woman decided God’s Word was not binding, and their disobedience brought “bad news” and caused them to be expelled from the lovely paradise.   God had told them “The day thou eatest of it [tree of knowledge of good and evil] thou shalt surely die” (Genesis 2:17).

 They ate, and sin entered the world.  “Wherefore….by one man sin entered into the world…” Romans 5:12. 

The bad news:  “For the wages of sin is death…” (Romans 6:23).  That was really bad news for the man and woman!  The bad news was more than their physical bodies dying; it entailed eternity (separation from their Creator forever).

Further bad news was that they were created to reproduce “after their own kind” reproducing more like themselves who bore the sin-ladened seed to all mankind, including us.

“All have sinned…” (Romans 3:23).  Since all have sinned, and the result is death, that bad news was passed on to us.

We are a “Good News” place here, so why did we begin with the bad news?  Well, the answer is:  Just so we will all know we have a loving Creator who doesn’t want us to suffer the consequences the bad news.  Our loving Creator has a remedy for the consequences of sin entering the world and infecting every person who has ever been born.

 Our world is in trouble (part of the bad news).  If you listen to any news media, it won’t take long to figure that out.  In spite of all the bad news, there is hope.  Actually, there is only one way out of the mess the world is in, and His name is Jesus!

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).

 

If you are tired of all the bad news, tune in on God’s wave length. 

Turn your dial to B-I-B-L-E and hear about the answer to the world’s dilemma.

That’s why we are here.  We want to help spread the Good News that will not only promote God’s remedy to the death-producing problem of sin, but will point to a reason to smile and enjoy the journey while on the earth and help those who will accept the remedy to build a secure future with God.
