The Need
Abba Hillel Silver wrote,
‘Faith in God is the strongest bulwark of a free society. Human freedom began when men became conscious that over and above society and nature there is a God who created them...who fashioned them in His likeness, and that they are, therefore, possessed of intrinsic and independent significance and are endowed, as individuals, with original and irrevocable rights and authority.”Abba Hillel Silver.
I for one believe there is a God. I believe it for many reasons but one is that in order for man to have survived he had to have a common sense of values. If for example one group believe in the sanctity of life and refused to take life and another thought nothing of taking life. There is the potential for man to drive himself to extinction.
I can’t believe primitive man suddenly convened a global conference and etched out a set of common human rights.
I believe God wrote into man’s heart the common values that all people around the globe believe in today.
I also see God’s handy work in the world around me. Everything is build in such away as to make it possible for life to exist as we know it on this earth. I cannot believe this is by chance.
Mathematics is showing there is a link to everything from the greatest galaxies to the smallest subatomic particle.
As the Psalmist wrote,
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1
The Psalmist also states,
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.”Psalm 111:10.
It is only when man realizes there is a God to answer to that he will act in a right manner toward their fellow man.
The writer of Ecclesiastes states,
“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.
We only have to look at Hitler and his henchmen who killed millions in his death camps and a war that cost in excess of 56,000,000 lives.
Terrorist today have no fear of God’s wrath and are killing thousands if not millions.
On a lesser scale in our cities around the world there are those who would murder and steal irrespective of man’s laws and the threat of punishment.
What our society needs is to turn back to God. For it is only by trusting and following His laws that society will be made a better place.
Please think about it.
