RELENTLESS RESULTS
Thursday, November 14, 2019
Awoke this
morning thinking of researching another subject and writing about it but I had
hardly eaten my last Cheerio when I read the terrible news in the Omaha
World-Herald, front page. “Deadly superbugs pose greater threat than previously
estimated. Drug-resistant germs and related sicknesses sicken about 3 million
people every year in the USA. On average this means someone here gets an
antibiotic-resistant infection about every 10 seconds and someone dies every
eleven minutes from the problem.
The results of
Adam and Eve’s dissatisfaction marches on relentlessly contrary to all of man’s
efforts! Does anyone besides me remember the touted great claims about penicillin?
In the beginning they seemed absolutely true, but turned out to be temporal.
One way or the
other we die. Ingeniously resist though mankind does, it’s unavoidably
inevitable. (Gen.2:17; Heb.9:27) It is not our paramount issue. Our greatest
concern is where we individually will enjoy or suffer eternity, with God or horribly
separated from Him? The options are clearly explained by Jesus in The Gospel of
John, chapter 3.
“Truly, truly, I
say to you, Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. … even
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man [Jesus]
be lifted up, so that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten
Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For
God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the
world might be saved through Him. He who believes on Him is not condemned, but
he who does not believe is condemned already [our pre-existent position],
because he has not believed in the name of the only-begotten Son of God. … He
who believes on the Son has everlasting life, and he who does not believe the
Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides upon him.” [MKJV]
