People look at the bad things, the hurtful thing, the tragedies going on and think that since God is all-knowing and all-powerful, that these thing are hHs fault. But just the opposite is true.
God is a loving Father. All the things He told us not to do is because those things cause the very harm that we are blaming on Him. And all the things He has told us to do are the things that will prevent those tragedies and help those who are experiencing tragedy.
Oh, why can’t people be made to understand that God is life. He is love. He is light. He is Papa. He has the answers. We are the problem.
Why do I continually hear about mankind’s search for answers to life, search for a reason for being here, and search for a better life and yet they bypass or nix God and the Bible.
It must be the way we’re coming across. Some peddle emotional highs. Some peddle miracles. Some peddle a ticket to heaven. But somehow we’re not getting through.
The answer to life is that God, who desired to have offspring who were one with His creation, created mankind in His image and put them in a body of the same material as His creation. He revealed through the Old Testament what He wanted of them and what the reward for obedience would be.
In the New Testament, He sent His Son who accomplished all the things God said to do and then paid the price for mankind’s disobedience and became their propitiation so that all those who will come to The Father, repent of disobedience, receive His Son as their Lord and Savior can have eternal life and be made into the image of a real man which God has portrayed in His Son.
The purpose of life is to grow up into Him in all things and to love one another. That is--be a part of the answer instead of a part of the problem. Help others find the true way and help others out of their troubles.
The better life is to have a personal Father/child relationship with God who is life, light, and love. And to understand what it’s all about and to have a mission to be about the Father’s business.
You want someone to admire--to look up to--someone to model after? The real hero and role model is Jesus Christ. He is worth serving. It is safe to put your complete trust in. He has proved Himself to be number one for all time.
"If life has knocked you down, I prophesy that you will Rise & Walk"
