How many are the revelations written like poetry by Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, now known as the apostle to the Gentiles! To disassociate God from what He is to all of us is simply to sin outright. See what Paul said when he was in Athens: For in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ (Acts 17.28).

Since the Most High possesses all understanding and power, Lucifer was foolish to want to be equal to Him. Now, the enemy could never achieve such goal (Isaiah 14:12-15). Many intelligent people who are prepared to help humanity heal, live well, and take their place in creation, deny that everything that exists is intimately connected to God. There is no life without the Lord!

To believe that there may be another god standing against the Lord is to be delusional and think immaturely. Everything was formed in Him and with His help. Jesus taught us not to believe in the schemes of the devil, the liar, saying: I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (Jo 10.9-11; 15.5). Christ's work on the cross resolves your struggles!

All life on Earth came from the one God. So, recognize this truth and get right with Him. There was no chance that Lucifer could stand up to the Most High in his rebellion. This provoked his downfall, in which he became the devil, the serpent completely defeated by Jesus in His death. The Lord did not fight against the evil one, but relied on His faithful angels, who cast him out, as well as those who joined him, from their original position (Rev. 12:7-11).

God is the Father of all. So, those who observe His Word will be in communion with Him. But those who are disconnected from the Lord will not remain standing and will go to the lake of fire and brimstone, destined for the devil's servants. There, they will be tormented day and night forever (Revelation 20:10). We are dependent on the Father, who is love, but He cannot tolerate those who stray into wrongdoing. Return to Him and live!

Those who rebel against the Lord and do not submit to holiness are greatly mistaken. No one will escape eternal condemnation without turning to Christ (John 3:36). God created us to be His friends, but as sin came into the world, things turned out different from the Creator's original plan. So, God sent His Son to rescue us from our sins and strip the devil of the power he stole from Adam (Romans 5:12-21).

We must thank God for sending Jesus to redeem us and restore our communion with the Father. Deliverance has already been accomplished and is available to those who want to be reconciled with the Lord and go to Heaven. The Almighty is above all, for all, and in all. Woe to those who are not born again, forgiven for all their past wrongs. The way they die is the way they will remain forever. Why not convert now?

In Christ, with love,
