THE SIMPLE ROAD TO COMMUNICATION BETWEEN GOD AND MAN...
Greetings through Jesus Christ:
I have often said how different society would be if we could read one another's thoughts and intents in the same way that Christ reads ours! In fact the thought of that being a real possibility would be terrifying for us in most cases simply from what we would both pick up from others and send out before we edited each thought produced.
It is that scenario that was on God's mind with us as we were created in the bodily form to become mankind and dwell on the surface of this earth. We have been pretty much wiped clean of many of the things that would have made life so much easier in our communication with one another because God wanted more than anything else to get back to the real truth in our hearts. While God still uses the same basic mode of communication He always has with us...we are not given the same advanced tools to play with. We cannot read one another's minds or speak to one another by the simple mental process of thought, and this difference gives God and the angels a great advantage over us when it comes to knowing the truth from us.
There are many things which would be considered much more perfect ways if we could access them, but God has seen fit for us to do certain things the hard way for a reason...He is looking for the truth from us no matter how painful that may be for both of us. When we come right down to it God needs to have a reason or two to believe in us for unless He can at least believe that we are giving our whole heart in an effort to be obedient to His desires for us why even make an effort...praise you God for your faithfulness!
The only way that God can tell if we are truthful,faithful or even worth trying to save is to wipe clean our memory, and our time with Him in Heaven and rebuild our relationship, and so for the most part men only have a knowledge of God through His word to man, and His Spirit abiding within man once our eyes have been opened. God has not made it easy to find Him, and yet He has also laid the truth out before us to find only if we seek after Him. It is the condition of the soil of our lives that matters the most when the seed of God's Good News falls on it. We must continually develop and cultivate that soil within us to be ready to grow from that seed, and then to bare fruit from the Spirit of God
Some would say based upon what I have tried to explain here that the Gospel is not at all simple...and that is true if we base learning it on the complicated wisdom of men to control it; but if we base it upon the simple faith of a small child we can both easily understand it and allow it to change us from within into new creatures. That kind of simplicity of the Good News of Christ has never changed. It remains the same as when it was first offered; it is we who do the changing as we allow God's Spirit to penetrate our lives...may you richly bless God through your life in Him.
