Without Jesus you can't have God

To stand in God's presence you have to be spotless and flawless because He Himself is spotless and flawless. After all He has no darkness in Him. Even the Seraphim which is an elite ranking of angel tends to cover their faces with their wings whenever they are in the presence of God.

The blood of Jesus Christ has redeemed us so we can come in the presence of God. Jesus Christ is our only advocate before the Father when we make the mistake of sin. Jesus Christ is the person who knew what is was like to be a man on earth and to be God the Son in Heaven. So in turn Jesus Christ is the only person who can bridge the gap between mankind and God the Father. Christ took on the nature of sin and overcame it. Christ took the keys of hell from Satan. Christ triumphed over the world with perfection. Christ was with God since the beginning. Thus only Jesus Christ is the only one who is worthy.

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
Revelation 5: 12, 13


When you pray to God, you are setting a petition before the Lord's throne. And obviously we as humans are no one to go before God in such a manner, but this is why I am thankful for Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ the Son is the only one worthy to go as our advocate before the Father. It is only through Him that we are able to set our prayers and petitions before the Lord's holy throne. So do you see now why it is impossible to go before God without going through Jesus Christ the Son first? Jesus Christ is the only one who is pure and because of Jesus Christ He is the only one who can hide our scars of sin. So when we pray we have to make sure to go through Jesus Christ first. That's why many times you hear the phrase “Through the love of the Son Jesus Christ, Amen” at the end of prayers.

Imagine the Sun in our solar system. The radiation given off from the Sun is so intense that if we were to be only several million miles from it we would get incinerated. Now how long do you think we would last in God's presence? So you can imagine that without the Son Christ being our very bridge to God, we would never get anywhere near God the Father.

Most of all without Jesus Christ we would not be able to overcome sin our life either. Christ set the example of perfection and we must follow it. He has said, be as perfect as the Father in Heaven is perfect. He wouldn't have said to follow such a path if it was impossible. The only way we can overcome sin in our life is by focusing on Jesus Christ. When we busy ourself by focusing on Him and the path He showed us, we no longer give eye to our sin. Just believing in Him is not enough for even demons believe Jesus Christ is Lord. We must follow Him and obey Him also.

Everybody is talking about future wars to come about and many people dying through all these upcoming horrible events. Some people are talking about making preparations and precautions to avoid disaster. But through making all these preparations and moving around, we forgot that we should first make our preparations with GOD! Even if the Rapture or World War were to happen next week, what if you were to die today? What if God were take your life tomorrow in a car accident or other circumstance, would you have been ready then. The Lord said wear the Armor of God at ALL TIMES. This means to be ready at all times because you never know when your end will come. And even people who make every safety measure in the world to ensure their survival, do they not know that God's judgment will be on everyman everywhere? The location where someone lives does not matter either, for God sees what's inside our hearts. We can live in on a battlefield or in Fort Knox, but God in the end will decide on who lives or dies. Foolish is a man who puts his trust in other things over God. Look at hurricane Katrina. Thousands died there and it wasn't even the time of the Lord's return to earth then. It just happened suddenly and virtually no one was prepared for that. We can hide from bombs, tidal waves, and forest fires, but we can't hide from God's judgment. Our only safety from God's judgment hand is Jesus Christ!

Do you remember how the Hebrews of Egypt were spared from having their firstborns dying? What they did was place lambs blood over their doors so that the angel of death would pass over them. This is what having Jesus Christ is like. When you place His blood over your soul and spirit, then that angel or death...that judgment of God will pass over you. Everyone stands before the Lord one day. Whether you stand before Him naked or whether you stand before Him in a white garment depends on the King Jesus. So don't trust in shelters, food stocks, or money surpluses for your salvation in trying times. You first and foremost protection comes from the arisen Son, Lord Jesus. A man who has Jesus Christ is a blessed man, because the Lord reforms Him, increases Him, improves Him and makes Him perfect. Strive for the Lord always.
