Part 2 of a 10-part series ending on Christmas Eve

The fullness of time had come…Humanity, becoming more degraded through ages of transgression, called for the coming of the Redeemer.

Satan was seeking to shut out from men a knowledge of God, to turn their attention from the temple of God, and to establish his own kingdom. His moves for supremacy had seemed to be almost wholly successful.

Through heathenism, Satan had, for ages, turned men away from God, but he won his great triumph in perverting the faith of Israel. The principle that man can save himself by his own works lay at the foundation of every heathen religion.

The people whom God had called to be the pillar and ground of the truth had become representatives of Satan. The deception of sin had reached its height. All the agencies for depraving the souls of men had been put into operation.

The Son of God, looking upon the world, beheld suffering and misery. With pity, He saw how men had become victims of satanic cruelty. He looked, with compassion, upon those who were being corrupted, murdered and lost.

Sin had become a science. And vice was consecrated as a part of religion. It was demonstrated before the universe that, apart from God, humanity could not be lifted. A new element of life and power must be imparted by Him, who made the world…through every age, through every hour, the love of God had been exercised toward the fallen race.

None but Christ can fashion anew the character that has been ruined by sin. He came to expel the demons that had controlled the will. He came to lift us up from the dust, to reshape the marred character after the pattern of His divine character, and to make it beautiful with His own glory.

The world is in a similar situation today, only worse…“as it was in the days of Noah.” “Their thoughts were only evil continually. “ While the compassion and love of God is great, his justice will be demonstrated in these last days. Come aboard the ark of Jesus and be spared the coming destruction. God wants to save you and your family today through the sacrifice of that baby in the manager, whose purpose was to live then die for the sins of the world. He was called Immanuel (God with us).

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. Revelation 3:20…the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out.“ John 6:37

Give in to the Spirit of God, who brings conviction to your heart. Give in and surrender to the one who is faithful to do all He has promised. Please write me and let me know your decision.

I will pray for you as a child of the King. You can do the same! Eddie
