#Short_Of_The_Glory_Of_God For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23). Man did the unthinkable! Given dominion over all the works of Gods hand, Adam was originally the god of this world. But Adam knowingly committed high treason against God by selling out to Satan the dominion which God had originally given him. Adams treason was done on such a legal basis that God could not annul the contract He had made with Adam, and which Adam had passed on to Satan. Hence, Satan, not Adam, became the god of this world (2 Cor. 4:4). And thus began Satans destructive reign. So spiritual death—which is separation from God—came to man. When God came down in the cool of the day to walk and talk with Adam, God called, Adam, where art thou? And Adam said, I hid myself. He was separated from God! Another aspect of spiritual death—having Satans nature —also came to man. The devil became mans spiritual father. Notice Jesus said to the Pharisees, Ye are of your father the devil... (John 8:44). Man is spiritually a child of the devil. He partakes of his fathers nature. This explains why man cannot be saved by conduct. Man cannot stand in the presence of God as he is, having the nature of his father, the devil, in him. If man is ever saved, he must be saved by someone paying the penalty for his sins, and someone giving him a new nature. #Salvation_Prayer Have you ever made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life? If not, pray this prayer and start a new life in Christ. Dear God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I admit that I am not right with You, and I want to be right with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen. #Confession: Thank You, Father, for my new nature. Thank You, Father, that You have made provision for me to be a partaker of the divine nature (2 Peter 1:4).
