Satan had always hated man right from the beginning. After he rebelled against God, he was cast out of heaven and received his forever punishment; eternal condemnation in hell.
With man, it was different. And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness according to Genesis 1:26. So, man is a direct replica of the Trinity. Even angels weren’t created in the image of God.
So man had always been the number one enemy of satan; he wasn’t even created in the image of God with all the ‘Luciferian’ accolades said about him in the book of Ezekiel.
So right from the word go, he started looking for ways and means to end the human race so that man can equally be condemned just like him.
Well, he partially succeeded after deceiving (which happens to be his number one weapon) man in the Garden of Eden.
Man deserved to be condemned and die eternally, but God had a better plan. Looking at all the great investments He has invested in man and, for that matter, the human race, He, not limited by options, had another plan to reconcile man back to himself.
It had to be very dear and expensive to repurchase man and bring man back to himself as He had originally planned and prepared. It took no other person than His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
A divine meeting went on at the mount of transfiguration to discuss His death and which path or medium He would choose. The patriarchs that represented were Moses, representing the law; Elijah, representing the Prophets; and Jesus Himself, representing Grace.
He had the chance to choose and dictate the pace as to how He would love to redeem man and reconcile man back to God.
Since He is a God of His Words, He chose the way of death to fulfill scripture because Romans 3:23 rightly observes that: ‘the wages of the sin is death,… The sins of the whole human race were heavily burdened on Him, so therefore, He had to die in place of man.
He had to go through excruciating pain and humiliating death on the cross of Calvary, the most painful, abominable, and excruciating one of that era. He did this because of the love He has for man.
So He died, was buried but gracefully resurrected to complete the redemption agenda. Man got back his birthright from Lucifer, satan.
This shows how God values man and how important and unique you are to see yourself if and only if you know Jesus Christ as Lord and personal Saviour.
Never underestimate yourself. Never belittle yourself because you are very valuable in the eyes of God. He invested so much to have you here.
The only way to enjoy more and be a partaker of the finished work of Jesus is to accept Him as Lord and personal Saviour.
I am privileged to have this opportunity to lead you to accept Jesus so you can enjoy a lot more in Him.
The Bible says with the heart that man believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation according to Romans 10:10.
Repeat the following words with faith: LORD JESUS, I am a sinner, I need You in my life. Forgive me, my sins, Lord. Make me a new person. Today, I have decided to follow You, no turning back. Please write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Thank you for saving me.
God richly bless you. Find a church that believes in the Bible and talks about Jesus and His works so that you can grow spiritually in Him.
Amen 🙏
