Creation is Cursed.

Here is a summary of what was covered yesterday in our Sunday School class.  It is a class of about 75 people, ages 20 - 90 literally.  It's a wonderful group of people who pursue Christ and live for His glory.

Summary of Ed's lesson.

1.  Creation, man, beast and planet, is cursed:  Genesis 3:17-19

2.  Sin offers more of creation
    Pattern: From 1 Peter chapters 1-3 

       2a.  World suffers - Then glory

       2b.  Jesus suffered - Then glory

       2c.  We suffer - Then glory

3.  Sin is not worth it.

4.  Jesus is!

Jesus' death on the cross paid for all of the sin of those who repent and believe in His name.  His wrath is reserved for those who reject Him.  Do not put your trust in your self and your good works.  Salvation is not by works. Ephesians 2:8-9.  Salavation is by grace through faith - both being a work of Christ.
