I read in the news today that 17 states have passed “Red Flag” laws. Laws that give the state the right to take away a gun away from anyone who has even an anonymous complaint against them. Terrible idea! This is not the America that I grew up in. Our freedoms are being attacked on almost a daily basis. The radical left has advanced the most Socialist agenda imaginable! This sort of thing led to the rise of Adolph Hitler in the 1930’s and it appears that we are heading in the same direction. Remember what happened in Germany; vote against those who advocate this authoritarian government for the United States of America!
But, what if the radical left succeeded in their godless agenda; what then? When all our civil liberties are only a memory and all our wealth and even our own bodies should be owned by the state; then what?
The picture asks a really important question: “What’s something no one can take away from you?” The answer to this is found in the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Roman Christians…
Romans 8 ( World English Bible )
28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he foreknew, he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. *
30 Whom he predestined, those he also called. Whom he called, those he also justified. Whom he justified, those he also glorified.
31 What then shall we say about these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who didn’t spare his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how would he not also with him freely give us all things?
33 Who could bring a charge against God’s chosen ones? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could oppression, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 Even as it is written, “For your sake we are killed all day long. We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
God works everything for good; absolutely everything! This truth is hard for me to comprehend at times, but nevertheless- it is true! God’s love, exemplified by Jesus and revealed in Jesus’ loving sacrifice for even the worst human being that ever lived is INDESTRUCTIBLE! No person, no power on this planet can stand against God. History has proved this beyond all doubt. God wins. And those who follow HIM are on the winning side; now and forever. Believe that because its true- FOREVER!
