Category: Bridging the Gap Between Man and God

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-8-15

Galatians 6:15 (NKJV) 15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation.

There are so many things that try to get between us and our salvation.

Man has so many ideas about how we should connect with God and interact with Him.

We have to wear certain kinds of clothing, have a certain kind of haircut and maybe even listen to certain kinds of music.

And some may even go so far as to say that we have to attend a certain type of church, or we’re not Christians at all.

In Christ, there is neither Jew nor Greek. There is neither black nor white. There is neither Baptist, nor Church of God, Lutheran, Methodist, Southern Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian or any other kind of label we might choose to put on ourselves.

There is Christ or there is nothing.

As humans, we have driven a wedge between God and those who need Him. We have widened the gap between God and man, instead of bridging it.

We need God’s help to fix this.

The good news is that it’s never too late to start and never too late to make things right.

Church, the time is now! The day is upon us when we need to seek God like we have never sought Him before and ask Him to help us fix the mess we’ve made of His body.

And then, we let Him start with us, by showing us where we’ve built gaps instead of bridging the gap.

Today is the day.

Bible Verse of The Day – 10-15-13

1 Timothy 2:5 (NKJV) For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus…

Have you ever been in or seen a situation where two people, or two groups of people, couldn’t seem to get along or reach an agreement on an important matter? Communication has broken down to the point where they just can’t seem to relate to each other.

Sadly, this happens a lot. And when it gets to the point where there is an impasse and the two parties can’t do anything further to solve their differences, a person known as a mediator is brought in to help them solve their differences and bridge the gap in their communication breakdown.

God has done the same thing for us. As human beings, our sin causes a divide between Him and us. It’s a gap that we can never bridge or cross on our own.

Because we have nothing in ourselves that can help us overcome this divided condition, God created a way for us.

Jesus, the Christ, the Messiah, the Chosen One, left His place in heaven, took human form and walked the earth for 33 years and then died a brutal death to build a bridge between us and the Father.

On the 3rd day after His death, He rose again and walked among men for a short time before ascending back to heaven to sit at the right hand of the Father.

Jesus’ death was a sacrifice to pay the price for our sins. His resurrection broke the curse of death over our lives.

Jesus was the mediator between God and man. His ultimate sacrifice (death) is the bridge that gives us direct access to God, the Father.

If you are far away from God, go to Him today. The bridge has been built. We just need to cross it.
