This is all about the Gospel

While men and women, from all ethnic backgrounds, are debating about "Ammendment 1" the time to vote draws nearer. Nearer for man to vote on an issue that was never meant to be a political issue no more than it could ever be just a "social" issue. This sinful topic was created by sinful man and is supposed to be resolved by sinful man. Could you imagine the outcome for this? It has to be a calamity one way or another. Any attempt that man has in resolving or changing what God has established has to be of no good nor Godly end. Fact of the matter is, that the marriage ammendment is not about rights, discrimination, benefits, nor any other humanitarian good. This is all about man and God. Or should I say, man and his rebellion toward God. I think that Romans 1 is quite clear on the matter. As the apostle Paul brings many issues to the table, including many sexual sins that were being practiced in that society, he does not home in on one particular vice but rather society and its attitude toward God. When they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, changed the glory of the God into an image, changed the truth of God inot a lie, did not like to retain God in their knowledge; these are some of the ways that man treats his Creator and Maker. But not God has action to take as well. For example in vs 24 God gave them up to uncleaness, vs 26 God gave them over to vile affections, and then in verse 28 God gave them over to a reprobate mind. Now this sounds like a battle going on between man and God and mankind is losing. Man, in his degenerate condition, is in need of help. A true help that brings hope into his life. That hope is in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. I marvel continuously at the effectual working of the gospel. Here man is in rebellion toward God and what was God's remedy? God's answer for sinful man and his rebellion is that Jesus, His Incarnate Son, gave His life on the cross for the sins of mankind. Through the gospel man that is sinful can be restored and reconciled unto God. He is ready to forgive and restore creation into a right relationship with Himself. Ammendment One is not the war, its just another attempt of mankind to dethrone the Sovereign God and my friend that will never be accomplished. Come to Christ and be saved, be at peace with God in a genuine God pleasing way. Jesus said, that "I am the way, the truth and the life..."
