We are all going to die eventually .
Living is why life was given to us .
Coming to Christ Jesus the giver of life is our only real accomplishment on earth .
Those who believe and receive Jesus have life because Jesus is life .
So what does this have to do with the Deadly Addiction? Everything!
Since the end of WWII in which the world was made to understand the preciousness of life and to honor the giver of life, there has been a steady falling away from Christ Jesus.
When you lose support for something necessary for life, you must replace it with another something to support life.
Enter medicine.
Not just a medicine but the Medical System.
There are 3 major problems with our dependency on the Medical System.
➛ bondage
➛ cost
➛ deception
Bondage
We have become slaves to the Medical System scheduling our lives around appointments, changing our lifestyles, living in fear of lab numbers that are out of whack
Cost
Virtually no one would go to a doctor or hospital if they had to pay the cost of that medical care out of their own pocket. Insurance, medicare and medicaid enable us to feed the Medical System under the pretense that we need constant medical care. But the fact that we do not have to pay the full price of the care at point of service insulates us from the actual cost which must be paid by us all.
Deception
Is the care really helping us? Is the medication really efficacious? How many times are tests run on you for things that you are displaying no symptoms? How many medications are you taking for (supposed) preventative purposes? We just experienced a world-wide deception involving COVID in which people died unnecessarily by medical malpractice and pharmaceutical experimentation.
I come back to the point made up top. Trusting man, who has a propensity toward greed and manipulation of others is invariably dangerous. Trusting Christ has NO negatives.
This Christ came to set us free. He has no ulterior motives. He actually loves us and proved it by His sacrifice for us which not only provided deliverance from guilt and punishment but also provided for our healing.
So, why do we choose the bondage, the expense and the deception of the Medical System over that of the free giver of amazing Grace?
Rebellion.
It always comes back to that.
Don't be a fool. Come to Christ Jesus who not only guarantees your physical life but gives you eternal, abundant life.
