On God

On God

“The evidence is that God is all-powerful. The point to remember is that creating a world where there’s free will and no possibility of sin is self contradiction and opens the door to people choosing evil over God, with suffering being the result. The overwhelming majority of pain in the world is cause by our choices to kill, to slander, to be selfish, to stray sexually, to break our promises, to be reckless.”
                               Peter John Kreeft ph.d.
Kreeft makes a good point. God I believe has set in the heart of everyone the knowledge of good and evil. He also set in our hearts the knowledge that He doses exist.
It is a universal truth that you don’t kill, steal, or do other such things. Yet men and women everyday choose to do so. This is sin and all sin is equal and separates us from God.
Not recognizing God exists and Jesus is his one and only Son the saviour of the world also separates us from God. We must believe by faith He exists.
The writer of Hebrews said,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
                                                                                                        Hebrews 11:6
God gives us the right to choose one of those choices is to believe that He exists or not to believe He exists. That choice also extends to Jesus also.
The decision is always up to you the individual.
Jesus gave us a warning when He said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.  
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.  Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.” 
                                                                                                       John 3:16-18.
The choice as to where we will spend eternity is always yours.
I would ask you the reader to at least read the New Testament before you make any decisions about God. Read it with an open mind asking God to show you His reality.
Please think about it.
