Don’t Settle For Nothing When Christ Offers Everything

But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that when you eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” – Genesis 3:4-5

How ironic. Adam and Eve were created in the image of God, so they were already like God.

“So God created man in his own image, in the image of God. he created him; male and female, he created them.” Genesis 1:27

The serpent offered them NOTHING that they didn’t already have. And this still happens today!

We get dissatisfied with what we have because something else seems nicer, but after obtaining it, we see it’s no better than what we already had. It could be a purse, planner, set of earrings, or shoes. Or something more extensive like a job, place to live, or spouse. We are always looking for something better.

Oh, sister, there is nothing new under the sun.

What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9

You think the pursuit of something MORE will fulfill your soul. So did Eve, but there is no more to be had outside of God. In him is all.

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Colossians 1:16-17

Can I encourage you to do this? Before you decide on a new path, take stock of who you are in Christ.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 1 Peter 2:9

Are you searching for something you already have? So many of us are. I’ve been guilty too. But remember that you were created in the image of GOD. That makes you pretty ridiculously AMAZING.

No, in all these things we are more than conquerers through him who loved us. Romans 8:37

So before you reach for that quick fix that will transform your life, check out the power you already have through Christ. You may just surprise yourself!
