You represent the pinnacle of all created life: the apex of resemblance to The GOD of the Universe. Your limitless capacities of mind, creativity, reproduction, and above all, happiness, were designed to thrive for all eternity. You were especially chosen by GOD to not only receive His blessing of rescue from sin’s jurisdiction of despair and death, but also His blessing to understand that this salvation could be accomplished only through the principle of adoption. Mankind has been legally and literally adopted into The Very Triune of GOD through the sacrifice of The Creator Who became "the Son of man," Jesus Christ. Everything that has been given Him: His glorified body, His kingdom called "New Jerusalem" that will one day reside on the "New Earth," His position of sharing the Throne at the side of His Father—all this and more we are called to share with Him in our experience. Said Jesus, "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." Rev.3:21. Christ alone is the bridge whereby all mankind may cross to heaven "without money and without price." Simple faith believing His Word is the means whereby our redemption is secured and preserved.

       Of the poor, the ill, and the destitute, John Wesley said, "There but for the grace of God go I." These words of the great reformer and founder of the Methodist Church applies to everyone who has ever lived. Any of us could have been born anyone throughout Earth’s history. If we were born in their shoes we would have walked as they walked. Too often people take glory to themselves for the circumstances of their lives in which they had no control whatsoever. All of us came into being without the freedom to choose where we are, who we are, and what we are. Our inheritance, with its strengths and weaknesses, combined with the environmental influence of our upbringing determines so much of who we are. Even with man’s heaven-born desires for justice, mercy and love, many struggle much more than others to honor that voice of conscience. The ability to honor those desires is also threatened considerably more in the lives of some more than others.

I Peter 5:8,9 Be sober, be vigilant; the devil, as a roaring lion, _______ ______, _________ ______ ____ _____ __________: Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

       The time and chance principle of life, united the Satan’s mechanisms of destruction have cost untold loss of life: everything from the slave who only knew the lash of the whip from birth ’til death to the open slander of GOD’S Truth by the world’s religions, which includes atheism. There is no station in life that is not contaminated with the devil’s manipulations: everything from whispering temptations of harmful influences into the mind of every man to creating disease and tragedies of nature’s forces.

8. Are those who die by disaster or violence deserving of these calamities, being less worthy somehow to live out their lives?

Luke 13:1-5 There were present at that season some that told him of the Galilaeans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. And Jesus answering said unto them, Suppose ye that these Galilaeans were sinners above all the Galilaeans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (v.4) Or those eighteen, upon whom the tower of Siloam fell, and slew them, ________ ____ _______ _______ ______ __________ _______ _____ ______ that dwelt in Jerusalem? (v.5) I tell you, _______: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.

       Among the grand lessons taught in the book of Luke is the repeated fallacy of men teaching that prosperity and good health are synonymous with GOD’S blessing, and that poverty and disease are only for those who are cursed of GOD, and therefore deserving of their fate. This theology only fosters pride and self-righteousness in those who outwardly appear to have the blessing of GOD. While we may rejoice that there are people who live out their lives free from the many afflictions that others are forced to face and who use their prosperity to the blessing of the lives of others, this is no indicator of increased acceptability with GOD for "God is no respecter of persons" (Acts.10:34). GOD loves all men equally and desires even the most sinister of men to turn from their sins and live forever.

9. Are there times when GOD intervenes to save the lives of His children?

II Chronicles 20:15,17 And he [the prophet Jahaziel] said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but GOD'S. (v.17) ____ _______ _____ _______ ____ ________ ___ ______ ________: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see, the salvation of the LORD with you, 0 Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

Acts 12:5-7 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but _________ ____ ______ without ceasing of the church, _____ _____. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. (v.7) And, behold, the angel of the LORD came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains ____ ____ from his hands.

II Kings 20:1-5 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Then he [Hezekiah] turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, I beseech Thee, 0 LORD, remember now how I have walked before Thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in Thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the Word of the LORD came to him, saying, (v.5) Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of My people, Thus saith the LORD, the GOD of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, ____ ______ _______ ______: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD.

Acts 9:36-41 Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did. And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber. And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them. (v.40) But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And ____ _________ ____ _____: and when she saw Peter, she sat up. And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
