God's Masterpiece

In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth,

in doing this, God had created a masterpiece to behold.

Every animal, plant, tree, insect, bird and many other creatures of

such a variety could only have been done by God.  Look at the

mountains, seas, oceans and creatures and plants below them.

All of this could not just have happen by some stupid fish crawling

up on land, then growing legs, then finally becoming monkeys, then man.

It is too far fletched to even think about.


God's masterpiece was a perfect one in the beginning, until Adam and Eve

committed the first sin, then it was no longer perfect.

God's masterpiece can be compared to us buying a painting that is also a masterpiece,

the only one like it in the whole world.

One night someone breaks into your house, they don't steal it, but do something even

worse, they destroy it.

Satan was like a thief who came one day to Adam and Eve and got them to sin, in doing

so, he destroyed the perfect world; God's masterpiece was ruined with sin.

After that sin was passed on from generation to generation, with it came death, war

and sickness and greed and many other things.

One day you find an expert, who says that your painting can be repaired,

but it will cost a high price to fix , it won't be as good as it was, but it can be repaired

somewhat.

This painting means so much, you love so, that you don't care what the cost is.


God also sent an expert who was perfect; God came in the form of a man, named Jesus.

He fixed the masterpiece, but there was also a high price to pay, His life and shed blood.

But like the painting it will never be the same, only repaired somewhat.

Jesus paid the price and he gave us the gift of Salvation, but we have to accept the

gift, or it is still unfixed.

      
         Call on Him today and accept that gift.      Romans 10:9-14
