Dial Daily Bread

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread":

This weekend, millions of Christians around the world are studying frankly and openly what the Bible says about the terrible results of fornication and adultery. The problem is more than the wrath of God because of the transgression of His holy law; it’s the pain which it brings to Him. One Christian writer says, “Fornication causes more suffering in America than theft, and perjury and random violence combined..... Fornication is an evil far greater than modern society likes to acknowledge. It is sad that even churches are unwilling to give this sin the attention it so richly deserves” (Reo M. Christensen, Spectrum, Vol. 24, No. 2, p. 64).

 

Much unhappiness in marriages can be traced to this beginning.

 

The true Christ of the Bible is a Savior FROM sin, not in it. The Christ who belongs in stained glass windows is far removed from experiencing our temptations. He is not the Christ of the Bible. The Father sent the true Christ “in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us.” (Rom. 8:3, 4). He was “in all points tempted like as we are tempted, yet without sin” (Heb. 4:15). “The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14). That is our flesh, He was made to be. The glorious truth is that the Son of God as the Savior of the world saved the human race from sin; brought us “out of the house of bondage” to sin (Ex. 20:2), and in condemning sin in our fallen, sinful flesh, He forever conquered the problem of sin in the one place where sin had taken its last refuge in God’s universe. All that the universe of God awaits is for God’s people on earth to appreciate His accomplishment. Its Good News is “the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes” (Rom. 1:16). It’s not the lack of works that holds up Christ’s final victory; it’s the lack of faith on the part of God’s people. The real thing.
