I’m Not Perfect

 I’m Not Perfect
I’m not perfect and never will be this side of heaven. I have been tempted and drawn aside more times than once in my seventy-six years of living on the Earth. And it grates on me when someone sayd, “I’m no angel.” Of course no one is an angel. God created man to be so much more than an angel. From the sixth day of Creation, He made man to be special. He made man in His likeness. He made man to be in fellowship with Him and to walk with Him in a perfect world. He made man to live in a garden where peace and harmony abode, a place where the lion cold lay down with the lamb with no worry about safety. It was a place wheree food was abundant and there we no carnivors. Everyone and everything were vegetarian. The plants were various and abundant and would meet all needs of al creatures in this perfect world. There were no weeds or thorns in the garden. It was desiigned as a place where God and man can walk in perfect communion. God had plans to have Adam and his family as a child of His own.
The Bible says that we’ve all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. Even the smallest sin will prevent us from entering the glorious realm of heaven. If we have lied about something or taken something that didn’t belong to us, we’ve erred and failed to do what God requires of us. If we have yielded to a temptation, we have sinned. We have cut the ties of communion with God. There is only one way to regain that communion with God and that is by asking for forgiveness and accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior. The Bible tells us that Christ is the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh to the Father, but by me. John 14:6.
I can’t find life in any other: not Buddah, Confusious, not Allah, not through Shiva nor Brahma, not through Mary nor through the Saints. Jesus stated clearly that the path to heaven is through Him. In Matthew 7:13-14 it tells that broad is the gate that leadeth to destruction and the gate is narrow which leadeth unto life. Matthew 26:28 and Colossians 1:20 tell us that the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross was poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. With our sins covered, we can be made perfect and live eternally with God the Father in Heaven.
