We Can't Help But Mess Up


And all mankind shall see (behold and understand and at last acknowledge) the salvation of God (the deliverance from eternal death decreed by God). Luke 3:6

For God has consigned (penned up) all men to disobedience, only that He may have mercy on them all [alike]. Romans 11:32

There is now absolutely no condemnation in Christ, Romans 8:1, and there is also absolutely no boasting in Christ, 1 Corinthians 1:29. Now here is the ultimate glorious Truth: everything is in Christ.

For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. Colossians 1:16

Our Father has a plan that has consigned all of us to totally and completely rely on Him. We all mess up. We cannot help it, because our Father made us that way. He made us this way so that we could not brag about what we have done or condemn ourselves for what we haven’t done. It is all our Father’s glorious power and grace that is operating in our lives. Here is what is so awesome, our Father even operates in the lives of those who don’t acknowledge Him or believe in Him.

For in this city there actually met and plotted together against Your holy Child and Servant Jesus, Whom You consecrated by anointing, both Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and peoples of Israel, To carry out all that Your hand and Your will and purpose had predestined (predetermined) should occur. Acts 4:27-28

The Truth is that our Father controls everything, He has too. He has too, because nothing can be that He doesn’t bring into existence and control. Our Father is everything; He is the Alpha and the Omega, He is the Beginning and the End.
