Every Action Has a Reaction

November 11th, 2026

SCRIPTURES: “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23
“Of His own will He brought us forth by the word of truth, that we might be a kind of first fruits of His creatures.” James 1:18

Sir Isaac Newton in 1686 formally stated the principle, “every action has an equal and opposite Reaction.” A given example of this principle is the motion by which we walk. When our foot poses backward against the ground and the ground pushes you forward. There is a method of science present here. Just like our response to events. Something happens and a reaction follows.

Only God knows the future as He knows right now. Therefore, before time, He had developed a plan of LOVE in response to man’s sin. He knew we would commit sin and though He gave the impact and consequences of sin (Genesis 2:16-17), we still responded incorrectly. Therefore, as a response, God took the initiative to have the Son be man’s sacrificial lamb. The lamb to which our sin would transfer; then an only then would the God of the universe be able to give us what is necessary to live as His children and bare His light and testimony.

Knowing all our Holy and Righteous Godhead has and continues to do for us, calls for us to have a reaction. What is yours? Do you say, “Lord, I love you,” yet you continue to give Him an opposite (expected) response? That is, you intentionally ignore His guidance and choose a casual, selfish and careless attitude towards His many benefits.

What should the believer’s response look like? Our Abba Father determined to provide the only way to escape His wrath and prove His relentless love and faithfulness to us daily. Therefore, we should be faithful to seek Him first and above any other. We should, without fail, choose to follow and obey His Word simply because we know it brings Him pleasure. Whatever we do, we diligently do it without griping and complaining. Our daily mindset and goal is to give our God the glory for the great things He has done!

PRAYER: Lord, how can we say, Thank You? With our hearts and minds bowed to Your will and Your way. You have equipped us with the gifts and skills to serve YOU. So, move us out of our slothfulness and cause us to raise up and react to magnify the beauty of Your Holiness. For You are God and besides You there is no other! Help us to declare: our expectation is from You; and all power belongs to You. In Jesus’ Name-Amen!
