Thought for Today - July 26
The Virus That is Sure to Kill!
By: Robert A. Searles

This morning, the world is caught up in the grip of a pandemic - an unseen enemy which is creating chaos worldwide, and it is potentially able to destroy the lives and future destiny of all who are infected with this horrible disease.

Unfortunately, every man, woman, or child that has ever lived on planet earth is already infected and susceptible to this  virus, whether they know it or not. Some will admit that they have it, and some will not

This ancient Virus has been around for a long time, - since from the beginning of time, and has been transmitted  from one human to another from birth, and it is inevitable that all who live will be affected by it.  The end result of this disease is sure death if a cure and  vaccine is not found to destroy it.. Not only does this virus cause death to the infected victim, but there are many side effects of this pandemic, if you will, that affect the lives of many others.  We see this daily in our cities; our streets; our homes; and sometimes, sad to say, in some of our churches.

The poison from this evil thing  produces murders, robbery, abortion, ungodly lifestyles, rape, divorce, hatred,  anarchy, and many other things such as fear, discouragement, and disregard for the fact that ALL LIVES MATTER!!

Just for a moment, let us lay aside our concern for the COVID-19 pandemic which is not our primary concern in this discussion.  The virus which we are describing in this "Thought for Today"is called  the SIN PANDEMIC 

Good  news!! - Fortunately, unlike the COVID-19 virus with which we daily have to cope, and for which up until this time no effective cure has been found, God our heavenly father has lovingly provided a cure for SIN.

When SIN entered into the human race through the disobedience of  Adam and Eve in the Paradise that God had created for all mankind to have and to enjoy forever, God, in his holiness and righteousness pronounced the decree that all who are not cured from the virus of SIN must die, not only physically but spiritually,  and eternally as  well "The wages of sin is death." Rom 6: 23...(but God in his mercy, provided a  vaccine that would effect a cure  for all who would receive it - that is - the precious shed blood of his only begotten son, Jesus Christ) ..."God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son. that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" John 3: 16

Many of us are fearful of becoming ill with the the COVID-19 virus lest we die.  Jesus told the multitudes not to fear him that could kill the body only, but to be more fearful of he that could kill both body and soul and cast into hell.

God has provided the vaccine for the cure of SIN - the shed blood of Jesus Christ - will you receive it?  When and if the vaccine for COVID-19 becomes available will you receive that?

We all must die physically sometime from something; but none of us have to die spiritually and eternally - the cure for SIN is now available to all who will receive it.
