This
is the unspoken reality of this life God has given us.
We
were given this life for one purpose and one purpose alone:
To
receive Christ Jesus as Savior and Lord and live in and for Him.
There
is no other purpose to our lives that has any comparative meaning.
Why
is this?
Because
the only fulfilling life on earth is a life lived in and for Christ.
And
only a life lived in and for Christ gains access to Heaven.
Why
is this?
Because
God Almighty, the Creator of all that exists,
Has
designed it that way! There is One Way, the Way of Christ!
The
world around us is living a LIE!
Those
without Faith in Christ, which is most of those living on earth,
Will
put forward all manner of arguments about what is fulfilling in this
life.
Every
false religion, which is every religion apart from Faith in Christ,
Will
tell you their story.
The
Secular Humanists will tell you their story;
They
who are consumed with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes
And
the pride of life will extol their virtues.
The
Agnostics and the Atheists have their story.
Men
will tell you about the advancement of the human race;
About
their Technology, their Science and their great accomplishments.
What
they fail to tell you is that all the so called great cultures of the
world
Lie
in the dustbin of history; failures.
They
fail to tell you is that there is nothing new:
'What
has been will be again, what has been done will be done again,
There
is nothing new under the sun.
Is
there anything of which one can say,
'Look!
This is something new'? (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10)
The
wisest and richest man who ever lived, King Solomon,
Summed
up life without Christ:
'Meaningless!
Meaningless!' says the Teacher.
'Utterly
meaningless! Everything is meaningless.' (Ecclesiastes 1:2)
'For
with much wisdom comes much sorrow;
The
more knowledge, the more grief. (Ecclesiastes 1:18)
'And
I saw that all labor and all achievement
Spring
from man's envy of his neighbor.
This
too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.' (Ecclesiastes 4:4)
'Whoever
loves money never has money enough;
Whoever
loves wealth is never satisfied with his income.' (Ecclesiastes 5:10)
'As
a man comes, so he departs and what does he gain,
Since
he toils for the wind?
All
his days he eats in darkness, with great frustration, affliction and
anger.'
(Ecclesiastes
5:16-17)
'The
more words the less the meaning,
And
how does that profit anyone?' (Ecclesiastes 6:11)
'Sorrow
is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the
heart.
The
heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
But
the heart of fools is in the house of pleasure.' (Ecclesiastes 7:3-4)
'Adding
one thing to another to discover the scheme of things--
I
found one upright man among a thousand,
But
not one upright woman among them all.
This
only have I found: God made mankind upright,
But
men have gone in search of many schemes.' (Ecclesiastes 7:27-29)
No
one can comprehend what goes on under the sun.
Despite
all his efforts to search it out, man cannot discover its meaning.
Even
if a wise man claims he knows, he cannot really comprehend it.
(Ecclesiastes
8:17)
In
this perverse world, what is evil is called good
And
what is good is called evil. (Isaiah 5:20)
In
this perverse world, there is a way that seems right to a man
The
end thereof is death. (Proverbs 14:12)
Yet,
for those who know Christ Jesus and live in Him and for Him;
They
have been given His Kingdom in the here and now. (Luke 12:32)
They
live in the Secrete Place of the Most High God
And
find rest in the shadow of His wings. (Psalm 91:1)
They
have been baptized with the Holy Spirit and with Fire. (Matt. 3:11)
They
have received Power from the indwelling Holy Spirit; (Acts 1:8)
The
Power to OVERCOME this perverse world and the evil one who rules it.
They
go from glory to glory, being transformed into the likeness of
Christ.
(2
Corinthians 3:17-18) Hallelujah!
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America
is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save
yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father,
Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
