\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cWell after hearing the whole teaching starting at where the triune God lived fine, before the creation of this world all the way up to how Jesus planned the end of His story of setting <\/a>all the sinful bad things in this world right again and making a new heaven and earth, I see where there are key thoughts I hadn\u2019t thought yet.
\n“One missing thought was I didn\u2019t know that there was a root of evil<\/strong> that produced sinful actions that I did every day inside of me. And that, that root of evil is like the reek of a rotting corpse<\/em> to God and when I try to get close to God he pulls back as though from the stench. God is only good and sinless but this root of evil is only sinful and so God cannot live with me or befriend me. The root of evil is cutting off my being with God. I didn\u2019t have that thought until this teaching.
\n“Another thought I now have but didn\u2019t before is that when God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit created man in His image one thing he put inside of Adam and Eve was the ability to choose <\/strong>between right and wrong. I didn\u2019t know that I was also able to choose. Now I know I can chose to be like Noah and trust God\u2019s planned escape from drowning in the flood or I can chose to say like those people did to think God was lying about the flood and chose not to get into the clapboard boat he ordered Noah to build. I can choose to trust what God teaches or choose to not trust it. This is a new and correct thought for me.
\n“Another new thought for me was doing things my way,<\/strong> even though God orders me to do <\/a>it His way only, is wrong and sin. I didn\u2019t know that. Cain wanted to worship God his own made up way, but God\u2019s way was for him to agree he had a root of evil inside that stunk and that he should trust God\u2019s own promise to send Someone to make that evil root right and give him Life. Cain did not agree to God\u2019s way and ended up in the fire as big as an ocean. I saw I needed to choose to agree like Abel did and embrace only God\u2019s way and not my way if I wanted God\u2019s Life and God\u2019s fix for my root of evil that was cutting me off from Him. I learned that only God can send someone to fix this root of evil, not me.
\n“I had another new thought after listening to this teaching. I thought I was good. But now God taught me I am not good. I have the root of evil that causes sin inside of me and I cannot get rid of it. I am bad in God\u2019s seeing<\/strong>.
\n“I also had another new thought, when God killed two lambs to give Adam and Eve their clothes that He approved of, the lambs who had done nothing wrong had to die for them so they could have clothes. Then next Able also trusted God\u2019s sin fixer and then killed the ram, spilling its blood. Then Noah also killed a ram spilling its blood. Then so Isaac would not die God gave him a flawless ram to take his place. He killed it and spilled its blood. I learned God tells me to pay my sin debt by death<\/strong> too.\u00a0 The lambs dying showed He was charging me death as well to pay my debt off with. Then the neatest part is that I learned that Jesus is God\u2019s ram who pays off my sin debt with God! I did not know that before!\"Teaching<\/a>\u200b
\n“One last thing I learned was that I had to take God\u2019s free offer<\/strong> of His way of paying off my sin like I would take a gift from a friend and thank Him for the free gift.\u201d
\nRoberto shared these thoughts a few Sundays ago in his testimony of Whom he was trusting in to make him right with God! He has been born into God\u2019s family and now needs milk of the Word to grow up into a strong man of God. Take just a moment right now <\/em><\/u>and pray <\/strong>for Roberto\u2019s spiritual growth that needs to happen to see him be God\u2019s man for the future Cubeo church. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
