About our rescue from our hopeless pit…

Genesis 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die. (KJV)

We fell from God's grace. We fell from living totally in God's love in perfect paradise. After we fell from grace, God could have left us down and fallen beyond help. After we fell from grace, God could have left us hopeless and without any light in the darkness. However, God was kind and merciful to us…lowly sinners all. God sent to us a person to save us from the consequences of our sinful rebellion. Although we are not deserving of salvation, God sent us a savior who suffered and died for us. God did not send us some third or fourth party to save us. God did not send us a hired courier to save us. God did not send us one of His special followers or wise men to save us. God did not send us one of His angels to save us. God sent us His very own Son. God sent us a part of Himself. God sent us His very own immaculate heart of hearts. God sent us His Son, Jesus Christ, to rescue us from the hopeless pit into which we are born and the hopeless pit in which we will surely die unless we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior. May God grant each of us the wisdom to understand the magnitude of our failure and may God also help us find the wisdom to understand how much God love's us.
