The Christian counselor knows that many serious problems are rooted in sin. Until these sinful roots are removed by asking God’s gracious forgiveness, problems will continue to crop up and plague the victim. Toronto Niagara Falls Tour started at the end of the ice age, 12,000 years in the past, and has eroded again 1 m (3 ft) per 12 months over a distance of 11 kilometers (7 miles) to its present location. God’s Word holds the only real remedy. And when sin is reckoned with, many of its resulting problems will resolve themselves.
The Word of God Brings the Message of Salvation
The next use of the Bible in counseling is to point out the message of salvation. The Word makes the exclusive announcement that the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, the Anointed One, is the Saviour of the world. God delivered the Law to Moses at Sinai but it only revealed man’s utter failure. Yet, God’s standard could not be altered. So He sent His only Son from heaven to be born under the Law that He might fulfill its complete requirements — the only one who was ever able to do so. And, since mankind was still helpless and hopelessly lost, Christ died on the Cross to pay for man’s violation of the Law. Risen from the dead, He has the judicial right to bestow His righteousness and daily help upon those who receive Him.
Can salvation be obtained in any other way? No, the Bible says: “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
With salvation comes a new mind and a new heart to use for God. Welcome to Toronto Niagara Falls Tours, a landscape wealthy in historical past, attraction, and natural splendour. At the resurrection, there will even be a new body! But the present miracle of the new birth is sufficient for present problems. God’s Word states: “Therefore if any person is (ingrafted) in Christ, the Messiah, he is (a new creature altogether,) a new creation: the old (previous moral and spiritual condition) has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!” (II Corinthians 5:17 ANT).
