THE SINGLE QUESTION TO ANSWER
Greetings in Jesus:
God made is flesh and blood like the rest of His creation that He has placed around us. He has limited us to only a certain capacity of ability for a reason, and yet we are still created only a little lower than the angels who have been appointed to watch over us.
Our whole lives are much more simple than we realize we are made this way so that we can use our will to make a choice about love and relationship with God. Most people cannot understand just how things can be that simple yet after all of the study and worry over who we are and where we are going in the wisdom of men it always comes back to the simple fact of belief. If we believe in God then we have a question to answer...what will you do with your relationship with Him? No matter what we do that question will remain the same throughout our lives until we have chosen an answer to it.
You see friends the whole point of the Plan of Salvation is to answer that one question. Do we believe , and what will we do with that belief? If we say we believe then are we going to commit to that belief the question continues to deepen for us. The Plan of Salvation is basically to save us from this place, and this circumstance we are in. Most people don't understand that until we make a choice for Christ and take action to develop a relationship with Christ we are already condemned. There isn't any real grey areas of this or special circumstances to amend the command we are called to obey. When we do decide to follow Christ, and when He does come into our lives it is only the beginning of change that will take place within us for the transition of life that is promised. It isn't all God from that point like some would have you believe...we too have a great role to play in the transformation of our lives. While I know that God does begin the effect of changing small things like attitudes and desires we have, the real change comes when we take an active role with God's Spirit.
I don't think that we realize how much trust is involved in this relationship moving forward. Not only do we need to trust God, but God has to trust us as well. We start with giving emotions and the surface things of our life to Him just to see if we can trust His work in us. After some time it becomes a process of giving God various pieces of who we are that may not be that important to us, but they are things that build trust between us. God will always take these pieces that we give to Him and transform them into a spiritual quality that fits into His Kingdom before He gives them back to us. In every case as we get that piece back it won't seem to fit into our old life...so we will need to give more to Him.
This process will continue until we get deep enough within us to rebel out of self preservation...and that is just the point God is trying to get to within us ...self. Everything that we are dealing with in the End times has to do with the Plan of Salvation that God has given to us. I don't want for you to think that I am getting off track with this; but I need to remind all who read these blogs of what the truth is on this from the beginning. Pray for me as I continue to lay these things out for you to consider. May you richly bless God through your life in Him.
