Thought for Friday

Here is a thought for you today...

If there is no bad in the world, no devil, no evil, why did God send His Son Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior?

My Uncle wrote a letter that stated the following: "In 2007 Barna’s survey concluded that only 9% of all American adults held a Biblical worldview. Among those between the ages of 18 and 23, only one-half of one percent had embraced a Biblical worldview. Furthermore only 27% of Americans believed in a literal Satan and his hideous influence in our day. Because of this basic spiritual ignorance, darkness is continually growing darker in its impact on our culture. Every day we encounter the forces of darkness emanating from people, conversations, the various situations of life, the news, the books we read and the advertisements we see, the music we hear and the videos we watch, as well as the internet and movies ."

What do you believe? We can't make our own religion, take out the bad and only leave the good. The Bible clearly states that we are not to change the Bible, that it was breathed forth from God. What are we then doing when we take out the bad?

Jesus was sent to save us from ourselves? Save us from the bad, because there is bad to be saved from.
