Obedience or ...

Job 36:11-12 

11 If they obey and serve Him,
they live out their days in prosperity
and their years in pleasantness.
12 But if they refuse to listen,
they pass over the river of death,
and expire without knowledge.

 

Is it any wonder ... why the world is so deprived?

Even Jesus stated: “There is no one good but God”

So even being rotten ... to the core of my being

Christ is the only good in me ... as a gift from God.

 

Oh! How hard to accept that ... I am no better than Adolph.

Oh! How is it possible ... that I was related to Mao Tse Tung?

How can I live with it that ... to be just like Pol Pot?

Oh! How can be my old nature ... so deprived and doomed?

 

If it were not for Christ ... where would humanity be?

If it were not for the Savior ... surely everyone would drown.

In the pit of depravity ... where all humanity seem to dwell

until they grab The Hand ... that will lift them to The Crown.
