Without a doubt, the answer to the question in the title of this message is Jesus, the Righteous One who came into the world because there was no one who could do the work of salvation. Human beings were under sin, as it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one (Romans 3.10). This text also mentions King David, who learned to serve the Lord with courage and intrepidity, according to the Father's heart!

           According to the apostle, the lot of humanity was terrible, because everyone died in Adam, and there was not a single person without the mark of sin in their life. Those who came closest to God resembled King Saul, who disobeyed the Lord and was seized by an evil spirit, reeking of murder (1 Samuel 19:9,10). They all went astray and became useless together. There is no one who does good, no. not one (Romans 3:12). Poor humanity!

           Imagine what could happen in a few years' time, if God's servants modernize, going after other flesh, as happened in Sodom and Gomorrah (Jude 1:7)? We can't help but pray for those who will succeed us, that they will be firm and ready to carry out the work wherever God sends them. The apostle Paul declared: Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips (Romans 3:13).

           Many hide the most detestable sins inside, which is why Paul spoke of their throats as an open tomb, where you can see all the filth of the decay of a life in sin. Others pretend to settle accounts with us, looking into our eyes, trying to show sincerity, but they deceive us and think they are deceiving the Spirit of God, who leads the Church. Where do these people think they are going?

           The saddest thing is that they have convinced themselves that there is no point in trying to change. Unfortunately, they love to act contrary to biblical doctrine. Why are there such people who refuse the gift of repentance? Well, while they are alive, people should strive not to act contrary to what God has determined. After death, there will be no repentance and no change of position. Believe and return to Christ now!

           Every saint who has allowed himself to be dominated by sin can return to communion, but he must do so as Jesus taught in the parable of the prodigal son. The boy came to his senses and decided to return to his father, repenting and begging to be one of his servants, because he didn't think he was worthy of any favor from his house. His father, seeing his sincerity and wanting to receive him, restored him as his son (Luke 15.11-24).

           The Most High found David and anointed him; He found Jesus, His only son, and anointed Him too. David was an example we can look up to, except in the case of Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11). The Creator wants to find others from any background to walk according to His will and be examples to all: How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him (Acts 10.38).

           In Christ, with love,
