I apologise that this and my last post are in the doom and gloom. I lost a colleague not that I was that close to him or that we were great friends, but I wonder did he know Christ as his personal savior? and it made me realise that I never ask people this question. I ask do you know him ?
I know that this is a subject that is sufficient to drive most readers away from my posts, its a subject that most do not like hearing.
In my short life I have noted that mankind realises that there is a greater meaning to our existence. Mankind through the ages has had some belief in spirits or spirit.
If our own society has some hierarchy, should this not be the case in the spirit world too. It would therefore mean there is an overall Spirit, and being a Christian I realise that this is God. The God who created the heavens and the earth.
We hold our fate in our hands and we therefore make the choice to accept Christ as our savior or refuse his invitation. The realisation that our life is not our own, but is meant to be lived to serve God and not man can be a little scary. Without Christ your life is your own, this however does not mean hat God will stop loving you.
You would only be acting like any other child rebelling against their parents, their love for you still stays, but being human they have their limits.
The choice to follow Christ has everything to do with faith. We learn from books and my christian faith is based on the bible. I believe that their is a continent Australia, I have not seen it and will probably never set a foot on it, but I know of someone who has been there. If that continent were to cease to exist today, it would still be true I that I knew one person who had been to Australia and lived amongst my people in million years to come.
The many generations to come would still believe this truth because one of their ancestor had this interaction with one from Australia. In the same way there were many who met Christ and he said he was from God and is God and he performed many miracles in their day.
The bible is my reference to this historical fact. I may not have met him and may not know of a single person alive today who can testify to seeing him, I however know that one day I will see him again and I have life in abundance through him.
Will you make that choice too?
