What if we all just needed an excuse, a justification. So we create this one idea that would rescue us from all our guilt - something that would save us from ourselves.
We all sin, we're liars. It's the human condition. We're constantly thinking of ways in which to improve our appearance, our character and eventually our status in society.
Is it that Gods grace is thrown from your path? All you see is a ticket into heaven.
Where's your relationship?
"I did something terrible, but it's okay, God forgave me - it basically didn't even happen."
So what now? You've been forgiven, you've been shown God's grace - but let me guess, you're going to go and do the same terrible thing tomorrow, its habit.
Maybe mankind didn't create God, but maybe the idea of Him and His will is excluded from your thoughts, when you use Him as your justification. Maybe things aren't going your way - is Jesus going to be your bandage to cover your wound? One that stops the bleeding, but eventually is taken off. It's only temporary.
Is God your justification? Is he your bandage?
God isn't temporary.
He can't simply be used and thrown away. It's a relationship, a lifetime, an eternity.
He doesn't only hold your hand when you're bleeding.
He carries you, even when all your wounds are gone.
