Chapter 14: The Gift of Jesus
Page 19
It is a simple enough plan that Christ makes clear from God’s Word.
It was God who sent Christ as a perfect sacrifice for the collective sins of the world. It was the prayer of Christ that petitioned God to send man the Spirit of truth or Holy Spirit to “Live Within Us!” Those who have God living inside of them are obedient to His Word; they are slaves unto righteousness.
God changed the playing field through Christ and the Holy Spirit in regards to the spiritual influences man was faced with. However, today we live in a world filled with many evildoers living alongside few good people.
The United States is culturally split down the center. The Church at large is also split and half or more of the Church now serves Satan instead of God. Is it any wonder why society in the United States is in rampant moral decay when those who should be from God have no salt [truth]? These phases constitute an influence power graph. We are now in the sixth phase; like the
days of Noah, evil is rising. Satan has won the battle for the majority of human souls, but God has made a way for all who choose to serve Him.
