The unchecked unbridled passions of man are an appetite NEVER satisfied and unfulfilled by the gratification of the flesh (Rom. 7, Rom. 8:5, Gal. 5:17). Like an addict, the unbridled passions of sexually driven men and women create a tsunami of psychological and social discord and physiological disorders that spillover from the individual into our societies and communities. The number one addiction in America today is not cocaine, it is not alcohol, it is not marijuana, it is not heroin, it is not Oxycontin, etc. The number one American addition is this unbridled beast of Eros-erotic love, i.e., sexual addiction (James 1:14-15). This Eros beast is currently reigning supreme and dominant in America in every facet of life, culture, and society. Paul stated very clearly in Romans chapter 7 the complete depravity of fallen man apart from the redemptive intervention by Almighty God (Romans 7). Oh, our humanity!, should be the cry of ALL of Adam's fallen race; for it is the doom and fate of the Hindenburg (John 3:16-17, 36, Rom. 7:24, Rev. 20:11-15).
ONLY in Jesus Christ is there TRUE and TOTAL deliverance and liberation from the horrific ravishings of the flesh and its control, power, and tyranny (John 8:32,36, Rom. 7:24-25, 8:1-14). In light of our post-Judeo/Christian America, do you know the ETERNAL RIGHTEOUS LOVE of Almighty God, which is found ONLY in His Son Jesus Christ (John 3:16-17)? God so LOVED YOU that he sent His Son to pay the price for your transgressions against the RIGHTEOUS standards of Almighty God (John 3:16-17, Rom. 3:23; 10:4; 1 Peter 3:18, 1 John 4:10). The love of God ONLY gives and ONLY seeks that which is the highest and best for its object of love based and rooted in MORAL ABSOLUTES and ETERNAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and TRUTH. How can any say they love you and give you less than Almighty God's RIGHTEOUS standards and RIGHTEOUS virtues? Almighty God LOVES YOU in RIGHTEOUSNESS and sent His Son to die to make us RIGHTEOUS and to give us ETERNAL LIfe and an ETERNAL future (John 14:3, 1 Cor. 2:9, Rev. 21; 22:1-5)! My dear friend, I do not know how to say anything more wonderful than that! The one true God and Creator of the Universe truly LOVES you (1 John 4:10)! My dear friends, follow the One who LOVED you and GAVE Himself to you that you might be with Him FOREVERMORE in the ETERNAL LOVE of Father (Gal. 2:20). Place your trust in Him today and FOREVERMORE will you sing, "All you need is the ETERNAL God's love!
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!
Great words, a very solemn Spurgeon like plea for repentance and God’s righteousness to reach all of us.
Such ETERNAL hope in Jesus! Amen!
