We must follow a person
who knows where he is going... We all know that we will be allowed into Heaven
only if we are able to please God Almighty.
God is not unkind to His creation...
though man has fallen from his glory, God choose to come down into this world to rescue His children from death. Death is the result of sin. Sin is disobeying God and all of us have sinned atleast once in life time. Is there any man who did not even sin in his thoughts?? Jesus says in Matthews 5:28 about sin committed in heart by a man of lustful eyes. What does it mean? God is very holy and Jesus is saying that not only deeds are counted but even our thoughts are counted in the sight of God. Then which man is worthy to say he is sinless and is righteous enough to be let into Heaven? Again our good deeds cannot out weight the bad ones, as we do not know what the measuring scales of good and bad are! For example we think murder is greater sin than a lie, but a lie might break a relationship, a confidence, a hope, a home and is the root cause to many problems and can lead to murder also.
God who is so carefully
watching us, the one who is going to judge all of us according to our deeds is
a merciful God and is God the Father. He relates Himself to us as our Father
because He created us in His own image and so He loves us and considers as His
own children. Which father sees his child fall into a pit and does not try to
pull him up? So will not the source of all love come to man’s aid and redeem
him from the bondage of sin? He will and He has already come to our aid. But if
we do not give out hand to our father, how can he pull us out of the pit? So we
must believe that God is the one who is going to bring us out of the pit of death
which is very deep. Jesus Christ said I have brought the Good News and the good
news to a dying man is life itself…
Jesus Christ came to give
the free gift of salvation… we need to just take the gift of salvation by
putting faith in Christ by believing that He paid for the wages of all our sins
on the cross and that He is the Son of God , God in human form.
The wages of sin is death.
There is no big or small sin. All sins are sins! Death here is not the bodily
death but the death of souls in the way of eternal punishment. God does not
want His children to die like that. So He came down and died in our place… All
of mankind’s righteousness is not equivalent to God’s righteous. So He came
down by taking on the likeness of a man and was called Son of Man, because
there the inseparable union of God and Man happened and Jesus Christ is His
name. Now God’s union with Man is holy and not like that of man and woman… So
Jesus Christ was able to bear all our sins and die in our place… But God raised
Him from the dead on the third day and He was made Lord over all of the Heaven
and earth.
Jesus said He is going to His
Father, who is in Heaven. Now Jesus knew where He was going and proved His
disciples that whatever He said was true and He raised from the dead after
three days as He has told them already before being crucified.
So follow Jesus and go
where He is now or follow them who do not now where they are going!! Its all in
ur will… the ‘will’ God has given you and me, the “free will”.
