The Iniquity of Us All

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

Isaiah 53:6

God is sinless, that is His nature.  Nothing sinful or defiled can enter into His presence without being destroyed.  We understand this whether we can admit it or not.

Nuclear energy is invisible to our eyes.  It is a tremendous resource for power, both constructive and destructive.  It’s nature is radioactive.  Radiation kills people.  We must handle it properly or witness it’s nature to kill that which is not properly protected.

Nuclear energy is just a power.  God is a person with whom we may have a relationship.

We are sinners, that is our nature.  Because we are sinful and God is sinless, we are alienated from Him.  

Religion is constantly looking for ways to appease God.  The act of appeasing God is like bringing an offering of flowers to lay before a breached nuclear reactor, in hope of saving oneself from radiation’s destructive power.  That is silly, but so is the idea that we can possibly do anything to make ourselves acceptable to God.

We are made in the image of God.  We are a spirit that has a body.  God wants to have a relationship with us but He cannot invite us into His presence without destroying us.  We cannot sneak into His presence without being destroyed.  We cannot protect ourselves from His sinlessness.  There is nothing that we can fabricate or invent that will make us presentable to Him.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him (Jesus Christ) the iniquity of us all.  Isaiah 53:6

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

Come to Christ and live!
