"help! i need somebody..."

How is it that people cry out for truth and even speak truth, yet remain so far from it? The Beatles knew they needed someone, they even said in another song "all you need is love." The apostle John wrote "Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love." 1 John 4:7,8

The quote from John has very heavy implications. Neither the Beatles, nor anyone else who does not know Christ has ever loved. That's a thought that will make the most well intentioned man hate Christ; apart from knowing Christ and the redemption that comes through His shed blood, we, humans, are so sinful that even that which the world perceives as love is truly a form of hate. No good intention on behalf of the unrighteous (those not covered by the blood of the Lamb) is even remotely good. How unlike the mainstream thought prevalent today that "as long as you are a good person..."

"Whoever is righteous has regard for the life of his beast, but the mercy of the wicked is cruel." Proverbs 12:10
