Decay

It becomes terrible realization when a person begins to age and feels the effects of decay on their body. What was once so easy to do now become an adventure. Bones become brittle, joints become less mobile and stiff, muscles weaken, and the brain fogs. Time has a way of wearing on all living creatures and leaves us to recall our youth. Sometimes there’s a desire to cast off the wisdom gathered from our growing years and try to frolic like a colt in springtime. We might yearn to retain the energy and stamina of a small child that still resides inside our aging shell.

Perhaps it’s why God has allowed that desire to turn to him; that hope for something better than we are; a passion to regain the body that he designed to be perfect for us. That’s the body we will gain when we’re transported to heaven.

Mankind earned the decay when Adam and Eve rebelled against God’s will hearkening to the temptation of Satan. The taint of the fruit from the tree of knowing good and evil has changed our bodies that were designed to live forever. I believe that the elements in that fruit changed mankind’s DNA, just like radiation can alter mankind’s genes.

Satan lured God’s creation into committing the very same act of rebellion that caused God to exile Lucifer from his exalted post in heaven and cast him to earth. Satan beguiled the woman telling her the “ye shall be as gods.” He tempted her to sin and through her, reach Adam. He wanted God’s perfect creatures to revolt against God’s will too. Satan, a created being, wanted to corrupt and destroy all of God’s creations. Satan’s anger was still directed at God attempting to thwart God’s will at every turn.

God has given mankind a gift of rejuvenation. Although the body will weaken, decay, and die, God sent his Son Jesus Christ to shed his blood on the cross at Calvary to give a second, never-ending life in a perfect body; an eternal body that will never decay. It is free. The gift from a loving Father to his creation. Christ became the payment for the sin debt.

God created Hell for Satan and those angels which chose to follow him in rebellion. The pit has been enlarged to accommodate mankind that also chooses to live in sin and to continue to revolt and reject Christ as their redeemer.

Are you tired of the aches and pains? There is a cure. God offers this gift freely.
