THE DEEPEST LONGING OF THE HUMAN HEART IS TO KNOW AND ENJOY THE GLORY OF GOD. WE ARE MADE FOR THIS.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Roman 3:23.
The Word of God is the only medium through which mankind can know their spiritual condition. Adam and Eve were given divine authority over the earth and everything therein “Then God said, Let us make people in our image, to be like ourselves. They will be masters over all life-the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the livestock, wild animals, and small animals.”
So God created people in His own image; God patterned them after Himself; male and female He created them.
God blessed them and told them, “Multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals.”
And God said, “Look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food.
And I have given all the grasses and other green plants to the animals and birds for their food. (Genesis 1:26-30).
Human beings could simply be regarded as the god of the earth because of the power God vested in them. However, when they sinned and refused to repent, they virtually lost all the glory they had, including their authority over the earth.
They couldn’t approach God and fellowship with Him as they used to. The first man and woman were even driven from the garden of Eden. The sin they committed became an inherent sin in every human being born on this earth.
Thanks be to God for giving mankind hope in the person of our Lord Jesus Christ. “But to all who believed Him and accepted Him, He gave the right to become children of God”. (John 1:12).
He paid the full penalty of sin on the cross and gave mankind the opportunity to have a better glory, the gift of eternal life, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. In Christ Jesus, anyone can have the authority that was once lost, and dominate the earth “And I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and and crush them. Nothing will injure you . (Luke 10:19.
Receive Christ today, and you will have better glory to reign on the earth. If you already have Him, tell someone about the glory they are missing without Jesus Christ.
Prayer Point: Dear heavenly Father, thank you for sending Jesus Christ to die for me and giving me a better glory and hope. Amen!
