A LIVING SOUL

We human beings, as the Word of God puts it, are living souls. The human soul is a gift of God, and that it will live forever and ever – “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” – Genesis 2:7

History records that, we obeyed not our Creator, and rebelled against Him, and all that He desires, and brought upon ourselves the consequences and judgement – “22…for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”…”23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” – Romans 3:22, 23; 6:23

The LORD God Almighty being good and gracious, apart from being just, chose to save us, and make way for our RESCUE, REGENERATION and RESTORATION – “16 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. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” – John 3:16-19

Since, now we are saved by the grace of God – “17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” Let us REALISE and REMEMBER always, what our RESPONSIBILITY is – “15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.” – 2 Corinthians 5:15

May the LORD help us to live for Him and Him alone!
