Death Dealing

There are two words in Scripture that every one of us have already destroyed; “Be perfect”. Be perfect, how can we be perfect when first, we were all born with Original Sin, and second, we are human, prone to giving in to every kind of temptation?

And God knows how sinful we are. He knows we are human. He knows we are imperfect, sinful human beings. We not only sin but in some cases we sin frequently. And he also knows he has given us the most powerful, the most loving of all gifts, our free will. And with that free will, we make our choices.

God tells us in Scripture that, “He pardons all our iniquities, heals all our ills and redeems our life from destruction”. Our free will can make us or break us. It can bring us to holiness or it can be “death dealing” leading us to hell.

Use the gift of free will wisely for the rewards are worth it. Use that gift to bring ourselves to the path of perfection. Where there is a will there is a way, and that is God’s way.
