All three of these: the world, the flesh and the devil are actively at work in our culture today and are bent on keeping us enslaved to sin and from living the life God intended for us to live. And so trapped in this matrix, living under the delusion that this world is all there is, we search for life with no moral compass in a culture that keeps pushing God out. But at the end of the day, we are left with the question: Is this all there is to life? Something, no someone is missing: The true source of life and meaning – God Himself. This is why God sent Jesus. Only Jesus can satisfy your soul. Only Jesus can save you from a life devoid of meaning.

God’s faithfulness to us is dependent upon His character. And that’s good news. We are prone to wander, even though we’ve been delivered from the power of the flesh by the blood of Christ, the flesh in us still works to reclaim its power over us. The flesh in us still wants to lead us, call the shots and get us to live by the flesh rather than by faith. So sometimes we will sin, sometimes we might even walk away from God for a season. But God will never walk away from us.

God chooses to work through this dysfunctional family to create a new family for Himself. Why doesn’t God just start over with some people who have it a little more together? Why? Because in His wisdom, God shows us that He doesn’t give up us, especially when we mess up. In fact, God never gives up on any of His children. He loves us in spite of our dysfunctional flaws caused by sin. He loves us in spite of our favoritism, in spite of our flesh, in spite or our faithlessness.
