that one limitation

Man’s self-sufficiency will always make me marvel.

It’s true that humans have evolved and managed to make life easier for themselves. Advancements in technology and better access to healthcare: life seems to be getting better for the human race.

Well, maybe not. Humans still haven’t discovered how to prevent natural disasters or how to repair the ever-depleting ozone layer. Our capabilities are capped as humans, which is why being aware of spirituality is becoming so popular.

However, people are involving themselves in the wrong side of spiritual matters and will pay the price during eternity. But that’s not the focus of my message today.

 

I want to remind you that humans are limited but there is an unlimited God who created us.

 

Apart from natural disasters and all these unfortunate occurrences, the one thing humans will never ever be able to save themselves from is death. Death is inevitable and is simply a part of the process. According to the Bible, one can die physically and spiritually (Romans 6:23, Ephesians 2:1-2, Hebrews 9:27).


Physical death is a part of the natural human process and is unavoidable. Spiritual death however can be avoided.

Death can simply be defined as separation so when you die spiritually, you are separated from God and therefore fail to have communion with Him. Many are spiritually dead today and that is why they fail to see the magnificence of our Lord Jesus Christ.

In Romans 6:23, the Bible clearly states that the wages of sin is death. All humans sin so all humans must die.

On the cross, however, Jesus Christ defeated death because He overcame it and was resurrected on the third day. By believing in this and accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal saviour, you become born again (John 3:3). You must understand that you cannot be saved via any other means. Christ explicitly says He is the Way to eternal life (John 14:6).


Once you become saved, you now submit yourself to the Lordship of Jesus Christ because you have come to the realisation that without Him, you would be spiritually dead. After physical death, you will not go to hell but be in heaven with the Father.

 

And this is why it makes me marvel at how humans think they can really survive by themselves.

There is much more to this because there is an enemy who will only submit to the name of Jesus Christ and only those in Christ can defeat Him. But maybe we’ll leave that for another message.

I pray that the Lord will open your eyes to understand this message.
