ADAM & NOAH

And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.
       
2 Corinthians 3:18

 

In recent years, I’ve noticed a big increase in people’s interest in their ancestral roots. I’m about half afraid to do that myself, because I’m not sure about what I’d find! But there’s one thing I do know about my family history: I’m descended from a crooked farmer and a drunken sailor.

The crooked farmer I’m talking about is Adam and the drunken sailor is Noah. And every single person in history has descended from these two men. This is the root cause of our problems in our homes, our communities, and our cities across the globe… the problem of sin.

But God has provided us with a solution to this problem – a way to eradicate sin at its root and experience regeneration by His power. That solution is Jesus Christ. By faith in His death and resurrection, we’re saved from the penalty of sin as well as set free from the power of sin.

The answer to the problem of sin is Jesus. Through Him, God can bring healing to our broken world. But in order for that to happen, we must have faith in Him. Trust Jesus and let Him transform the world… beginning with you!
