Mankind has a nature of rebellion by birth due to inheritance of sin. Sin is a burden for mankind which leads to eternal destruction of human soul. Elohim Jehovah loves his creation mankind so much that HE send his only begotten son Yeshua the Messiah that whosoever believed in him should not perish but have an everlasting life. This vicious cycle can only be broken in self surrenderance at holy feet of Yeshua the Messiah. As human behaviour is like a colt defined as in book of Job: For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt. (Job 11:12).
Mankind is in a pathetic state of mind as described in book of Isaiah; but we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. (Isaiah 64:6). Yeshua the Messiah is the substance of all things; all things visible or invisible are created in him thorough him and by him. And he is before all things, and by him all things consists. He is the first born from dead and in all things he has preeminence.
On willful submission at feet of Adonai Yeshua the Messiah; behold, I have refined thee, but not with silver; I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction. For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto another. (Isaiah 48:10-11).
As the goldsmith purifies gold in furnace so that all impurities are removed. God chose each of us “in the raw”—like an unrefined chunk of ore. Jude shows the process God goes through—setting us apart, preserving and protecting us, and finally calling us to become part of His holy temple (Jude 1). 1 Corinthians 1:26-28 shows that God calls the weak, base, foolish and despised of the Earth. Can we agree that we were not the finest of ore when God first selected us?
Yet despite our flaws, we are now the only ones God has chosen to work with! Why? Though we would be considered worthless by many, it is for this very reason that God has chosen us—that no flesh should glory in His presence (verse 29).
Consider the hardships and temptations as important part of Christian live as it is written: Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.(1 Peter 1:6-9)
Today decide whether you will obey Yeshua the Messiah or compromise in your live. For it is written; I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eye salve, that thou mayest see. (Revelation 3:18)
