Get It Straight

Easter is here and life goes on, as though nothing has happened. The world celebrates bunnies and colored eggs. The true meaning of Easter is hidden from view by commercialism. Even some of today’s mainstream Christianity has forgotten the significance of this act.

The notion that One should die for the sins of all has been deemed as absurd. The idea that all people are sinners and in need of a Savior is deemed equally absurd by this generation. Man has become his own God and drives his own destiny. God is said to be within us all, without reservation and cannot really be known as a personal being but rather only a force of goodness.

We, who know the true and living God, the God of Abraham, cry within ourselves because of such folly and foolishness. Our hearts are broken by the lies and audacity of sinful men that promulgate such wickedness.

The greatest act of love in all of time and history is marred by deceptions and lies, criticism and half-truths, fear and foolishness. It’s time the world woke up and faced reality. God so loved it, (The World), that He gave His ONLY Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

What part of God loving you do you not understand? He so loved. Is that so hard to comprehend? Get it straight…GOD LOVES YOU. Deal with it…Embrace it…Grasp it…Believe it. You are the apple of His eye. You are the crowing joy of His creation. You are worth His love and grace. Now that is the truth and why He sent Jesus to die for you. You are worthy of His love, not because you did anything great but because He chose to love you. It is as simple as that. He decided to love us and we decided to accept His love. Nothing else really matters.

Get it straight! Get it straight! Get it straight! Get it straight! Get it straight!

Until next time

Rev John Marinelli
