The Son of God appeared for this purpose...

1 John 3:8 …the one who practices sin is of the devil; for the devil has sinned from the beginning. The Son of God appeared for this purpose, to destroy the works of the devil. 

What is the greatest destructive work of the devil - creating separation between man and his Creator. Jesus came to restore that breach - thus destroying the work of the devil. By Jesus' sacrifice the veil of separation was torn in two, from top to bottom, thereby restoring what had been separated, atonement had been made - complete restoration of that which the devil had instigated.

Sin is what separates us from God and it is the devil's longing that we be separated from Him. But the good news is that Jesus paid the price for our sin and we no longer have to live separated from God - the devil loses!

Jesus destroyed the works of the devil - do you believe it?

what do we really need?

We need Jesus.
We seriously need to have a spiritual awakening - an awakening with Jesus once again becoming the full and exclusive center of our lives, families and churches.
Our attempts to be clever, cute and attractive to the world have born poor fruit.
Jesus is our only hope - Jesus our source of life, Jesus our answer to the pitiful life condition this world is facing.
We at World Challenge live for this singular purpose: to make the glories and riches of Christ known to a lost and hurting world.

forsaking the Lord God

A people that has forsaken God and His manifold blessings shall be granted their desire.

As a result of their turning away from Him the blessings of His grace and His truth shall indeed be removed and hidden from their midst. They shall seek truth and not find it. They shall desire blessing and their shall be none. Their enemies shall advance and bondage will ensue.

Yet, shall He mercifully uphold His remnant in times of trouble.
