I know that I have
had a really hard time understand lot of things about Father. I think that I
have probably, had even a more difficult time, understanding about myself. A
lot of my life, I have often thought that I wish that I had never been born.
Life was extremely difficult adjusting to the changes, that all of us go
through. I never had found anybody, which I could trust to talk with, about
these life issues. The end results were just another disaster, with yet a
bigger bucket of shame dumped atop of my head!!
Even though, I gave
my heart and life to Jesus at the age of seven, I was still pretty much alone.
I can look back over my life, and say with confidence, that I was never left
alone. Jesus was always there behind the scenes, preventing Satan, from taking
my life. I know that I made some horrible choices in my life. However those choices
got me to the point that I am at now.
That is all that I
plan on speaking about myself. I want to take the Bible, the Living Word of
God, and teach the truth of why we are here. Some of us feel that we are here
simply because, of random chance. We have little problem believing the story of
creation. However, a few thousand years later the romance has gone. Actually, I
really don’t think that it has taken all this long, for the creation that
Father created to forget.
Isaiah 43:7 Even every one
that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed
him; yea, I have made him. Father
has made the statement that every one, has been created, that He was the one,
which formed them. Another verse in the book of Isaiah says: Isaiah
45:12 I
have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have
stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded
Let’s take a quick
verse in the book of Jeremiah where Father was talking to the Prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed
thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I
sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. This should end all
resistance to any chance, luck of the draw communications, to Who was
responsible for our creation. Now that
we know Who created us, the next question is why.
In Isaiah 43:7,
Father says that we were created for His glory. The word glory is defined
commonly as, splendor, honor, dignity, abundance, treasure, wealth, brightness
and majesty. All those words are important, but I need to break it down a
little further. Father created us, and He owns us, so He has the right to do
what He wants with us!! That is as cut, and dry as I can possibly make it.
There is wonderful
news though. In the book of John, chapter three, and verse sixteen, these are
the words that Jesus said about Father. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. When Jesus says the world,
He is not talking about the earth beneath our feet. That is a reference to
those people that He created, which inhabits this planet.
Father loves us
enough that He is giving us a choice, that we must make on our own. Choose
Jesus, and receive life, or choose anything other than Jesus, and receive
Spiritual death!! Romans 6:23 For the wages
of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord. You
must keep in mind that Father loves us enough to give us the choice, and not
holding anything back from us.
Most of us probably
realize that the death, which we are talking about here, is not physical. Just
in case there might be one reading, that has no idea what I am talking about; I
do need to explain better. We have been created Spiritual beings, and that part
of us will never die. This earthen body that we live in will go back into the
original form whence it came from. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the
ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a
living soul.
However our Spirit
will never die. If you die without making the right choice, you go to a place
so horrid that it was never made, for mankind to exist in there. It was
originally made for Satan, and those angels that he deceived.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful,
and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
You are probably
thinking that if God really loves me, there would be no way, that He would send
me there!! You are absolutely right my friend. He would never send you a place
that miserable, and wretched. Actually, the only ones that He is sending to
Hell are Satan, and the fallen angels. All the others that wind up in the pit
chose to go there on their own accord, by making the wrong choice!!
I have almost run
out of space, and I have another page to finish writing this Bible truth. We
will need to look at what part that Jesus plays in all this. There is no way to
finish without His role.
…..Much Love
