even from the earliest points of the history of mankind here on earth, God has held man responsible for intentionally spilling blood; requiring the respect of human life. He said, "whoever sheds man's blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man.” (Genesis ch.9) see there’s the issue, because as it says elsewhere the life is in the blood. please realize every drop of blood that is shed is flat out disregard for life and the God who gave it.
you might ask but what if it’s my own? that’s my point, it’s not your blood. it’s God’s blood. He created you and gave you His life and His blood and His breath. and He did that because He wants to have a relationship with you and has a plan for your life. but sin separates you from God who loves you, and you will never be able to be to earn that love. that’s why God sent His Son to take your sin and the punishment and pain that results from it. He did this by becoming one of us; then allowing the body that He took on to be destroyed and mutilated. you can stop the self-destructive direction you’re living in by simply accepting the free gift of life.
do you need help to overcome your destructive lifestyle? or just want to talk? reply to this post.
