What is the Ultimate Need of Man?
By: Pastor David M. James
Depending on whom you speak with:
1. World/Global Peace, yes it is very important and impacts the world we live in, but it will not effect our personal eternity.
2. Global Warming, yes it also is very important and impacts the world we live in for generations to come, but it fails to impact our souls eternity.
3. HIV/AIDS, yes millions are dying each year with this debilitating disease, but once again it fails to impact out eternity.
4. Cure Cancer, yes it destroys lives and rips famlies apart, each and every day, but once again it will not impact our eternity.
I believe solving each of these crucial issues; howbeit important would be akin to placing a Band-Aid, even an Iron Man brand over a cancerous sore.
Main Text: Romans 1:18KJV
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold, (supress NIV) the truth in unrighteousness;
I believe God’s Word shows the Ultimate Need of Man:
1. Is for man to lay down his weapons, in the centuries long war against God and accept the Peace Treaty that Jesus the Christ signed in his own blood.
1. To take care of the problem of sinning against God.
A Personal Relationship w/God repairs/removes the barrier of sin in our lives.
Removing the sin barrier will stop the Wrath of God, instantly on mankind.
Lets break down V18:
Ungodliness: deals with our relationship to God. It is a sin against the person of God, we refuse to recogonize who God really is.
FOA believes in the Trinity: God/Father is a person, Jesus is a person, and the HS is a person.
Rom. 1:19-21NIV, (vision: Father overwhelmes our sensuality by things he made in nature, then deposits knowledge of Himself into us, conviction)
Unrighteousness: deals with our relationship to our fellow man. We each treat mankind in a manner that God does not want us to. This is a sin against the will of God.
Rom. 1:28-32NIV
Supress the Truth: If you have truth to know, you can supress it. You cannot supress what you do not know.
We all know the truth, “What man’s Ultimate need is”, but we do not want to admit it.
Rom. 1:19NIV
The rest of the chapter from V19-32 explains how man supresses the Truth of God’s Word to get around the problem of sin.
Let’s look at 2 assesments of Man:
God’s assesment of Man:
Gen. 6:5 AMP
The Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination and intention of all human thinking was only evil continually.
Man’s Assesment of Man: basically good, (Job performance Review) given enough time we will fix everything.
(God says, given enough time, they will only get worse)
Sin= the thought in the heart
Transgression= the act of the body
Iniquity= the coverup/ blame game
Man left to himself is on a slipery slope, downward spiral and will destroy everything his hands touch. (new muscle car)
Example:
Teaching OSU, leave the room, chaos in grown men.
270/71/315 with no visable Police Officers, speed, reckless operation, collision, death
Bar: 25 men, 3 women and no bouncers working that night
Black Friday: without store personal visable
Prov. 22:28 KJV
Remove not the ancient landmark,(ancient boundry stoneNIV) which thy fathers have set. (explain) without landmarks total chaos.
Prov. 6:20-23AMP (read only)
Repentance/Salvation is an ancient landmark set up by God Himself that the Emergent Church/Liberal Church, Word Faith Movement is trying to remove.
Do not get caught up in this energetic demonic movement, for the penalty is Eternal Damnation.
We have tried to find the Ultimate Need of Man in:
1. Nature: Occult, White Witchcraft, WICCA, New Age, Save the Earth, Go Green!
2. Religion: Long lists of rules, regulations, fasts and feasts, Demonations of Men.
The Ultimate need of man was met when God gave the Ultimate sacrifice for man on the crossJohn 3:16NIV.
1. World/Global Peace, yes it is very important and impacts the world we live in, but it will not effect our personal eternity.
2. Global Warming, yes it also is very important and impacts the world we live in for generations to come, but it fails to impact our souls eternity.
