Some People Will Never Change, Human Nature

It Is Human Nature

This is one of those Messages that is not taught often. It is also one of those Messages that is not received well by some. It can be hard to hear. We all have people in our lives that we love and want nothing but the best for. Or we all know someone that has already pasted that we would never want to think will never go to Heaven. However, the simple Truth is that some people will never change. Why? Human Nature.

How many are Parents? How many have told your Child, "Don't do that" and what do they do? THAT. OK. You do not have kids? Ever walk by a Wet Paint Sign? "Wet Paint, Do Not Touch." What do you do? Touch. What is that? Human Nature.

Remember the very first Father told the very first Kids, "Do not touch that." and what did they do? Think about this. God Creates Paradise. He actually Created the Universe, the Earth, and all that is in them for us. Then, He Created Man in His own Image. He gave Man domination over all of His Creation. All He Commanded Man NOT to touch was one Tree. Genesis 2:15-17

"The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”"

It truly was a Paradise. The Lions laid down with the Lambs. There were no Thorns, Pain, Sickness, Diseases, not even Death itself existed in the Garden. No Shame. No Sadness. Nothing bad whatsoever. What does man do? Genesis 3:1-7

"Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?” And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden, but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.’” But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 

So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths."

At this very moment, Sin entered the World. It became part of Human Nature. Defiance, Anger, Hate, Jealousy, Envy, Pride, Stubbornness, ETC. We even became separated from God at that moment. Instead of walking with and talking to God Face to Face in the Flesh, now we must receive the Spirit of Adoption so that we are Adopted back into the Family of God so we can rejoin Him in Spirit.

Herein lays the heart of the matter. Without receiving the Spirit of Adoption, we are NOT His. We are NOT all Children of God as some think. We are all God's Creation, yet, we are not all His Children.

So just like the Devil became filled with Arrogance and Pride, so are we filled with it. We are taught from an early age that we are important. What we want is the most important. Being number one. Always strive for better. Keep up with the Jones. ETC.

Now in this Country, and around the World, we are seeing Romans 1 play out.

"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.

Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

For this reason, God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.

They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."

We find time and time again in the Word, that this is a simple Truth. That, you have two kinds of People. Children of God, People of Faith, and those who live in the Flesh. Romans 8:5-8

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God."

Ever wonder why there are some that will fight their entire lives against something, or attempt to prove something that they do not believe in, doesn't exist? Human Nature. Rebel against God. Reject His Authority. Make yourself the most important person in the Universe.

Then you have those that simply believe that this is it. once you die, it's all over. So live as you will. Pleasure yourself in whatever way you see fit. We still say try not to hurt anyone, but everything else goes. No God. No Devil. No Heaven or Hell. Just you. Just this. Eat, Drink, make lots of Money, have fun.

What makes this sad sometimes? Some of these People are very nice People. Some of these People are very "Good People" in a worldly sense. They may give to Charities. They may fight Good Causes. They may be Someone we Love or may have been, someone we Loved in the Past.

These may also be Someone you have attempted to invite to Church. Or perhaps Someone you attempted to share The Word with. Why is it that they seem to not even be able to hear you? More on that next time. The Short answer was given by Jesus when He was talking to People that were following their Religion to the Letter. Rulers of the Religion at the time. He said this. John 8:47

"Whoever is of God hears the words of God. The reason why you do not hear them is that you are not of God."

Do you know Jesus as your Savior? Have you been adopted into the Family of God? If not, say this Prayer. Right now. Wherever you may be. Say it in your own words, and do not doubt in your heart. God will hear you. He will send the Spirit of Life to you. Let us Pray.

"Oh heavenly Father, Lord God. I am a sinner. I know this. I know there is nothing I can do to change that. But I know you can. I accept Jesus's sacrifice for me. I repent my sins. Please send the Spirit of Adoption into my life. Help me to get to know the real you. Save me. Please. In the name of Jesus, Amen!"

That's it. It really is that simple. Now go tell someone what you have just done. "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." {Romans 10:9} You need to find a Church that God leads you to, and be Baptized the way Jesus said to be. You are now a Child of God. A new Creature. You "have put off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him." {Colossians 3:10}

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen. {2 Corinthians 13}

Until next time, be blessed, be a blessing, and Jesus IS Lord of all!
