As he was walking; a
beautiful and seductive woman came out from behind a tree. Soul was
startled and said: "Hello, I'm Soul, what is your name?" She replied,"I
am Temptation, I have what you want." "What do I want?"replied Soul.
"You want to do all things which are of the flesh" said Temptation.
Soul replied,"All right then, lead me." So he and Temptation went off
and fulfilled the desires of the flesh.
When Soul returned to the garden, he met a man named Condemnation.
Condemnation said," Hey, I see you met with my friend Temptation." Soul
said,"Yes, who are you?" I am Condemnation, I come after Temptation,
and we work together in a team. You have spent with Temptation and now
you have debt to pay." Then Condemnation began to beat him. He hit him
in the face and kicked him when he was down. This went on for several
days.
About the third day a
man named Mercy came running and cried,” I command you Condemnation to
stop!” Condemnation laughed,” Who are you? “ Whilst keep beating. So
Mercy unsheathed his sword and cut Condemnation in two.
As Soul watched in astonished pain, he was overwhelmed by the power of
Mercy. Mercy helped up Soul and said," I have dealt with Condemnation
before. He should not show up around you any more." Soul answered,"How
can I ever thank you?" "Well", said Mercy, "I was sent here by God, and
He told me to introduce you to a dear friend of mine. His name is
Redemption."
Redemption walked up and said,"Hello
Soul, I see that you are not doing well." Soul replied,"Not until Mercy
came along. It is a pleasure to meet you Redemption". "Well", said
Redemption, "I am glad to meet you, but are you ready to receive me?"
"What do you mean?" asked Soul. Redemption said,"When you accepted
Jesus and decided to walk with Him, you chose to accept the things of
Him and His Love. I am part of Jesus' love. I help you forgiven. You
will never have to deal with Condemnation again. Temptation may come
around, but I have someone I would like to bring in, her name is
Grace."
Grace walked up to Soul and said,"Hello Soul, I have been waiting for
you. As a matter of fact, all three of us have been waiting to meet
you. I will help take you out of the way of Temptation whenever she
comes around. But there is one more person we want you to meet, her
name is Faith."
"Hi Soul, I am Faith and
I will help you stay strong and keep your beliefs strong also," said
Faith.
When Soul began to cry, Redemption reassured,"It's going to be OK. This
is what we are here for you Soul. Jesus gives you his Mercy to redeem
you and keeps you saved by Grace through Faith (Heb 11:1). Jesus love
you Soul."
Mercy = getting no punishment that you deserved ; Grace =
getting what you not deserved
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have everlasting life. For God sent not
his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through
him might be saved. He that believeth on
him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already,
because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God. And this is the condemnation, that
light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light,
because their deeds were evil. For every
one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest
his deeds should be reproved. But he that
doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest,
that they are wrought in God. (Joh 3:16-21)
