Any hope for addicts?

by Alfonso Abels
3/13/2013 / Salvation

Can we be saved from this drug and alcohol mad world?

Yes, we can, but we cannot without Jesus Christ as he is the only true Redeemer.

Let us continue our discussion by referring first to alcohol abuse. It is part of man`s sins and an age old problem.

Many people see alcohol as a problem solver. Luckily, many has been rehabilitated and succeeded in life giving hope for others.

Alcoholics need to admit their problems instead of finding a controlled manner of drinking. The same applies to other abusers.

Regarding politics, negative political actions and decisions leads to dissatisfaction amongst affected citizens.

This results in violence and other serious problems. Alcohol and drug abuse, together with divorces, forms part of these problems.

Not everyone can deal with personal problems or issues that affect the whole community.Sadly, the particular residential area concerned is later characterized as a problem area.

Active alcoholics and young people need to be warned against the dangers of alcohol abuse.This can be done by means of testimonies.

God is alive and are still healing the sick and solving problems. God is the Master of the Universe.

The greatest addiction, the pulls of the human nature, can be overcome with the help of our Father. Many people overcame this problem.

No spirit inside a human being can provide any healing or solution to these problems. The godly medicinal solution is by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

The power and the truth lay in the crucifixion of Jesus when he took all the sins of Man upon Him.

Apostle Paul warned the Christians not to stray and advised them not to indulge in unholy acts. (1 Cor.6:9, 10).

Man suffers from the sins, inherited from Adam, which are created by the acts of human nature.Adam and Eve`s sins were due to Satan`s deceitful desires.

Sin can become an addictive,destructive force.Satan, the biggest influence on the human nature, is the great enemy of God and all humanity.

Satan, the ruler of the kingdom of the air, operates in those that are disobedient to the Lord.

God made a covenant (Genesis 3:15) that He would deliver all sinners via Jesus Christ, water and the Spirit.

God promised to send John the Baptist ahead of Jesus. He kept this .promise.

The birth of Jesus lead to the cut off of the shackles of sin for all people. Those people who still have a hard time under sin are slaves of sin.

His redemption made it possible that our sins could be absolutely cut off. He removed all our sins.

Is there anyone who still suffers from sin? Our warfare against sin has ended. We shall never suffer in sin again. Our bondage to sin ended when Jesus redeemed us with His baptism and blood. The Son of God has expiated all our sins.

What must be done to receive healing?

People must have a desire to be redempted from their sinful nature. Every sinner must accept God into their lives. God can start working when people have acknowledge Him as the only and true Savior.

One thus certainly need to confess God as your Savior.

A desire to call to God for help must be present. Faith and believe in Jesus Christ is essential. Jesus ,as already mentioned, is the only one that can save you from going lost.

One need to place all your trust in the Lord. Saved people have to end all sinful thinking and deeds.

They need to encourage others to also repent and worship a true God. A healthy fellowship with other worshippers of God is also vital.

This will help in having a godly manner of speech.Digging deeper into the Word of God by means of ,amongst others, Bible studies will strenghten the move to a godly manner of speech.

God is definite alive, still healing the sick and still solving problems. Non = negotiable is the fact that God is the Master of the Universe.

The greatest addiction, the pulls of the human nature, can surely be overcome with the help of our Father.

Christians do not believe in three God's. That is tri-theism. They believed in One God with three subsistence's (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

Jesus Christ, the Messiah of the Jews, is the only reason why there are people called Christians. He paid for the sins of the world. The Bible is clear that God is three and that God is One.

Is there then any hope for lost souls? The answer is YES.

The victory by Christ on the cross assures us this. He has conquered the world. John 16 v 33:

"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulations: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

Faith is only needed to ensure victory one`s addiction problem. Faith is caused in our hearts in order to believe that, what is written is really true. God allows us to still sin, because we still live in a sinful world.

However, because of repentance of sins and acceptance of Christ, we, the children of God, can look forward to going home. The ultimate destination is a safe haven called Paradise.

Jesus ensures this by owning us as His children. Gracefully, we got Jesus Christ in our lives and in our purified hearts.

"I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness." John 12 v 46

Therefore heaven is my home and the earth my foot bench. Amen !
