Another Remedy for Deception

Deception is a serious matter. Did you know the Bible provides the remedy for deception? The Bible describes that all people, both non-believers and believers are moved by the course of this world, a system where deception is swayed with corruption, the devil, and our own flesh. The origin of deception stems from our own sin (1 John 1:8). Pride was the original sin. We read from the beginning of time, God gave mankind freewill to choose; yet, our own vulnerabilities toward sin, the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life influenced the choice of disobedience to God. Adam and Eve set in motion the sin curse for all mankind. God Who is Holy has been hurt by our sin. God's desire is to have a relationship with mankind but sin no matter how small or how great has caused a broken relationship with God. Sin is the problem for mankind and Christ alone is the number one remedy. Did you know communion is another remedy for deception? In this book, there are 12 monthly devotional themes to prepare our hearts before participation in communion. Every devotional is seasonal and captures a reason why we remember all that Christ has done. The meditation portion is to reflect further into scripture and allow truth to integrate into our hearts. The prayer portion is essential to our lives; thus a sample prayer is designed to spur further your personal time of prayer. May God inspire you to take each truth and energize you with sound teaching. Communion has great importance to every Christian and has transformational influence to sharpen us spiritually in a world of deception. May our spiritual eyes be opened that we confess and repent of our sins before a Holy God prior to communion. May we come away with celebration, knowing Christ paid the penalty for our sins, He is risen and lives in our hearts today! We anticipate His return and we remember.
