“Malachi 2:10: “'Do we not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously each against his brother so as to profane the covenant of our fathers?'” Since God created us, He is Father of all of us. Therefore He provides the common ground for building and healing relationships. Relationships between men and women, the nations of the world, the rich and the poor would be radically altered by the understanding that we all have one Father. We know that the sinful condition of man's heart has radically altered God's created purpose for mankind. The sin problem can only be resolved through Christ, who provides access to the Father.”

“But the Bible contains incredible good news. The Creator is also the Redeemer. In a radical act of compassion and grace, the Creator entered into His creation to redeem fallen man. This is the only way redemption could have occurred. Your Creator took upon Himself human flesh and gave Himself to pay the penalty for your sin so that you could be restored to an intimate relationship with Him (2 Cor. 5:21). You are a rational being. You can fully understand these wonderful truths. Further, you are responsible; you must make a decision to commit your life to Christ. Listen to Romans 10:9-10: “That if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved; for with the heart man believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation.”

“it was not easy to keep first things first and make time for prayer. Yet without this there can not but be failure and unrest.”
