Today, God will give us what we
need for today.
And tomorrow, He’ll give us
what we need for tomorrow.
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry

A Look Ahead
Everyone Saved?
Acts 10 gives us insight into the heart of God
for His children of all races. We‘ll talk about how
God loves all the children of the world; red, yellow,
black and white. We sing, but all too often, we don’t
want to believe it.
As you read this passage in Acts, what do you
gain about the Love of God and how does His love
translate to them?

The story of Cain illustrates the progression of sin, guilt and depression. Cain began badly by giving a sinful offering (Gen. 4:1-8). When God rejected the offering, Cain complicated the matter by responding wrongly to the rejection -- he got angry and depressed -- his face "fell." God, who warned against the consequences of this improper response, noted Cain's guilt, anger and depres-sion.
God graciously said, "If you do well, will you not be accepted?" or, as one translation says, "If you do right, you will feel right." God also warned Cain that failure to repent and offer the right kind of sacrifice would cause him to fall deeper into sin.
The clutches of sin, like a wild animal, was crouching at the door and waiting to devour him. God offered hope by saying that Cain could re-verse the downward spiral of sin by breaking out of his sinful pattern through repentance and a subsequent change of behavior.
Cain failed to heed God's words and fell deeper into the depths of sin just as God said he would. His downward spiral led him to murder Abel. Sin leads to guilt and depression -- sinful handling of sin further complicates matters lead-ing to greater guilt and deeper depression.
We can read of how Adam suffered from the depressing shame of a guilty conscience (Gen. 3:1-13). The capacity for self-evaluation that God built into man activated painful inner sensations. Adam came to know good and evil by personal experience and his conscience accused him of sin. Adam decided to run; instead of running to God, he ran from Him.
When God called Adam out from among the trees of the Garden of Eden, he emerged covered with fig leaves. Adam further complicated the matter by attempting to handle his guilt on his own rather than turning to God for the proper solution. Adam had committed a crime, had at-tempted a getaway, and was now trying to cover up. God pointed the finger of accusation directly at him. God confronted him and forced him to deal with the problem. Adam tried to shift the blame to Eve. Those who suffer from a guilt often try to do the same thing.
Ahab, king of Israel, was an exceedingly evil man (1 Kings 16:29-33). Ahab took Jezebel as his wife and set up an altar for Baal. Elijah was a faithful prophet of God and spoke out against Ahab. When Ahab met Elijah, he accused Elijah of sin (1 Kings 18:17-18). Sinners will often attack righteous people when their own sins are ex-posed.
Judas, one of the twelve apostles (Matt. 10:4), was a man with a terrible burden of guilt. Judas was also a thief, for he carried the "money box" for the disciples and used to steal from it (John 12:4-6). Judas went to the chief priests and of-fered to betray Christ (Matt. 26:14). Imagine how his conscience must have bothered him at the Last Supper (Matt. 26:21-25). Later that evening, Judas betrayed Christ with a kiss (Matt. 26:47-50). After Jesus was condemned Judas was re-morseful, but his guilt caused him to take his own life (Matt. 27:1-5).
Even the apostle Peter was not immune from the guilt which accompanies sin (Matt. 26:69-75). In spite of the fact he promised to die with the Lord, he denied him. He cursed and swore that he never knew Jesus. Later, his guilt caused him to go out and weep bitterly.
Herod and Herodias conspired to kill John the Baptist (Mark 6:17-28). John had said it was not lawful for Herod and Herodias to be married. Herod and Herodias both suffered from a guilty conscience. To soothe their conscience they de-cided to kill the messenger.
King David sinned by committing adultery with Bathsheba (2 Sam. 11:1-5). In covering up his sin, David had Uriah killed (2 Sam. 11:14-21). When David realized his sin, he humbly repented (2 Sam. 12:1-15). Prior to forgiveness, David suf-fered from a guilty conscience. After David found the forgiveness of sins, he wrote: "Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is cov-ered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile. When I kept silent, my bones grew old through my groaning all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was turned into the drought of summer." (Psa. 32:1-4).
