What is the most pressing question we are all
after? Peel back the layers of our existence and the questions we always seem
to be searching for, even if we are unaware of it at the time becomes very
obvious. The Oracles of God is the answer. We want to know what lies beyond the
grave. And until we come face to face with our own realities we will be duped
into believing so many lies. The biggest one of them all is just so long as I
believe something to be right and I apply faith to it all will be well, wrong!
The truth is we need to get on God’s bus if we are
to understand the essence of life, any other form of transport will lead us
down the same road but with a different emphasis place upon our drive, trickery
to keep us from the knowledge of the truth is the enemy’s main objective. The
final stop for all is death and then the judgement, period! We must find favour
from the One with the power to execute our eternal sentences. With so many
voices out there who’s to know which opinion is right? Well I suppose this is
where the mercy of God burns ever so bright and without His light illuminating
a person’s understanding, finding true peace would become impossible. It’s the
goodness of God that leads a man unto repentance, period! He gives us the
knowledge to understand our sin and then He points us in a direction of
repentance. Without His intervention in our lives repentance would become an
impossible task.
When history is studied it enlightens our
understanding, it broadens our knowledge on any given subject, and this is why
God gives us the Bible to understand His origin and how we all fit into His
plan. A factual record endorsed by God Himself. Yes, indeed written by men, but
guided by the hand of God. Now anyone worth their salt when it comes to studying
or trying to disprove the bible as fact, ends up pleasantly surprised and
realise that their quest was somewhat futile. There are even those who have
been saved by God undertaking such a process. Lee Strobel was an
atheist journalist with a machete to grind. He needed to disprove that his wife
was wrong and therefore his personal quest was to disprove the existence of God. He failed! He became a devout believer in the
finished work of Calvary, so much so that he vigilantly defends the gospel of
truth. He did a complete 180 degree turn. What would have such an effect on
this type of man? The mercy of God and understanding the origins of God. Sadly
too many are driven by the here and now, having no clue that this life in fact
is the test for our eternities. We all only get one crack of finding true
repentance and calling upon the name of Jesus Christ the Lord to be saved from
the looming destruction that will eventually arrive.
Understanding
the oracles of God is mankind’s number one priority. Get this wrong and doom
and destruction awaits your eternal devastation. I am really not concerned
about people’s opinions if it drives me from God’s truth. There is far too much
at stake to entertain fools on this subject. This then is my motto; “Let God be true though
everyone were a liar”. The question we all need to ask ourselves, do we look to
please men or God? You choose… I have made up my mind. “Let God be true though
everyone were a liar”. What now becomes the difficult process is walking in the
Spirit and putting on the mind of Christ. Not that it is difficult to walk in
the Spirit, there are storerooms of grace available to the Christian, but the
war rages on and the battle is fierce. Be that as it may so long as God gives
me breathe and as useless as my life may seem to some I will by the grace of
God press toward that high call. Christianity is not for the faint hearted and
let us remember that the armour of God is available to each and every
believer.
