Proclamation

I have believed for a very long time that I am called out to boldly proclaim and display the truth of God in Christ Jesus. That mankind was created by God to have an everlasting, dependent relationship with God. But mankind, exercising the freedom of choice to glorify God, or himself, was deceived and broke that relationship by not believing that God is the very source of life and all living. Rather, believing that mankind could achieve all that mankind is capable of on his own ability, turned to his own way to be all that he believes himself to be. Therefore, mankind is born into separation from God because of that sin. But God, in His infinite mercy, has called us back and restored mankind to Him in Christ. God actually wants mankind to be all God created him to be, but knows that mankind cannot achieve that without the very presence and relationship with God and His almighty power. However, the calling back is done by God, thru Christ the Redeemer of God and by the Holy Spirit of God. Sinful mankind is required to answer that call, believing that they are separated from God by their very sinfully selfish nature and need a Savior to restore that right relationship with God. That God has provided the Way in Jesus Christ, to display His great Love for His creation, to expose the lie of selfishness and godlessness that is rooted in death (for man did not live before God, but was in fact given life by God) and reveals the Truth of Life (that mankind is created by God and for God) that is displayed and extended by the loving Holiness of God which mankind has always been dependent on, whether he believes it or not.
