Availeth much.
Whenever I watch Cabin in the Sky, or even think about that movie, I am struck in my soul at how close we all are to the mercy of God and to the overtaking of our depravity. The grace of God, the prayers of others, prayer for ourselves and for others overtaken in faults are part of the warfare of faith that becomes this human "travail of tears". I haven't seen a better or more clear earthly picture of the complexity of the struggle of faith as in "Cabin". Everybody needs a relationship with someone on earth who will bring their cause to the throne of grace with heartfelt consideration, especially if they don't think that they are redeemed. Petunia prayed so that the demons had to note that this was some powerful praying. The closeness of the string that our breath is between Heaven and Hell was acted out so clearly, you could just about taste Heaven and Hell at the same time. Both the righteous, being scarcely saved and the unrighteous receiving mercy and grace were set up right next to eachother.
We can all see ourselves in this movie. We can all see that none of us deserve the mercy and favor of God. God has a battle that He is fighting on earth for our souls and if we trust Him and walk with Him, He will win the battle.Cabin
