It is an interesting fact that in this day of godlessness and
lawlessness so much is being said about what we all deserve! Ads in the
newspapers and commercials on radio and TV ask:
“Don’t you deserve the very finest automobile?”
“Don’t your children deserve the best?”
“Doesn’t your baby deserve Pampers?”
And even, “Doesn’t your dog deserve Alpo?”
Well, do you really deserve the finest car? Please don’t answer
that! Do your children deserve the best — always? If so you surely have model
children — not at all like their parents! And does your baby deserve Pampers?
That’s funny! And does your dog deserve Alpo? That’s ridiculous! Dogs do not
“love” or obey you from any moral consideration, nor, for that matter, does
your baby, lovable as the darling is. And as to you and your children —
including the baby, the Bible has something to say on this subject.
The Bible says that “by one man sin entered into the world, and
death by sin; and so death passed upon all men for that ALL have sinned [i.e.,
in Adam]” (Rom. 5:12). You and I were “in Adam” when he sinned. When he sinned,
we sinned. Deny this and you might as well agree with the murderer who argued:
“My feet and legs didn’t do it; my ears and nose didn’t do it; only my one hand
and one or two other parts of my body did it, so the rest should go free.”
We believers in Christ should thank God that our blessed Lord
took upon Him our just desserts when He died for our sins at Calvary. This is
why God’s Word says:
“We declare, I say, at this time, His righteousness for the
remission of sins… that [God] might be just, and the Justifier of him that
believeth in Jesus.
“Where is boasting then? It is excluded” (Rom. 3:25-27).
