Just The Edge of God

People who don’t recognize Jesus as the Son of God express an ambiguous task to fight the fiery arrows which descend upon your life as it spirals out of control. Then individuals wonder why they never succeed in their career purpose. The arrows represent confusion, bickering, hateful acts, lying, stealing, murder, unruly children, non-satisfaction on the job, bullying, unexplained or random acts of violence, etc. In the Kingdom of God, the arrows represent Satan: Galatians 5:22, AMP “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.” As a fence-sitting Christian or one seeking God, you must stop and evaluate your life and state, “what is wrong with this picture”?

If you experience constant confusion and abuse, then it’s not God. Just because God allows these things to happen is not His fault. He has to allow the unlawful to sin until the end, when Jesus comes back and claims the earth and His people. The “mere edge of God” is where God Almighty gave us the “free will” to do as we pleased, but with consequences, as it was when Adam and Eve sinned for humankind. The validated sin committed by Adam and Eve when they ate the tree’s forbidden fruit gave Satan permission to become the wicked protagonist of earth, and humankind became shattered.

No matter how God wanted to destroy man, life remained because God loved man after the fall of humankind, and He declared His Son to become the spotless Lamb of sacrifice. Jesus came and saved humanity by giving of His blood and taking upon Him the sins of the world. The Triune God (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit) beheld the fall of man while they threw Satan out of Heaven for his pridefulness, which became a flaw in his being. So Satan had a vendetta against God, and to settle the score, he sought to destroy God’s creation because he wanted to be God.
