Jesus Created The Universe As A Perfect Place For Mankind To Reside Forever!
Hebrews 1:1-2 (NIV)
In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.
How and when did the universe come into existence? In this world today many people have been convinced that our universe came into existence by random chance processes over billions of years, this religion is called evolution, or the religion of humanism! Bible believers have been taught by the God of the Bible that our universe was created by miraculous acts of Jesus Christ only a few thousand years ago. Some people have tried to combine these two vastly different causes into the same event, and that the only God used this evolutionary idea as His form of creation. This of course, makes no sense to me! What have you come to believe about the God of the Bible?
My reference to this God of the Bible comes from my belief that the only true God gave mankind this book as the history (His Story) of the creation of His (our) universe, and God did it to supply a place for mankind to dwell forever. However, the first two people God created to live in this universe used their freewill to disobey the one command God gave them, and mankind lost their immortality as the consequence of their sin. Because of this first or original sin mankind became a mortal being, and this current earth became a depository for the dying bodies of mankind. This death spiral will continue until Jesus Christ creates a new immortal world for the immortal souls of the members of mankind who chose to become followers of Jesus Christ during their life on this mortal planet!
The bible tells us that every member of mankind is born into this world with an immortal piece usually referred to us our soul, and a mortal piece referred to as our sinful nature, and these two identities live together in our mortal body. This then sets up a conflict often pictured as an angel on one shoulder and a demon (fallen angel) on our other should whispering into our ears confusing messages throughout this earthly lifetime. No wonder many of us humans go astray and commit sinful acts. The Lord God gave us only one Way to keep us going straight during our lifetime, and that Way is for us to be born again by becoming followers of Jesus Christ.
The writer of Hebrews wrote about this change in human events in the selected verses referenced as the last days. So, “In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways.” But when Jesus Christ came to this earth, which started the last days period, to offer all of mankind salvation through becoming followers of God the Son! This is the time in which we now live, “in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.” Jesus perfect sacrifice replaced the need of animal sacrifices thus such sacrifices were no longer needed!
Jesus coming into this cursed world to offer salvation and peace of mind to those who believe He is the Son of God. Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. (Philippians 2:1-2). We become united with Christ as individuals in the hope of becoming one with other believers. Satan, however, has been successful in keeping believers separated by mankind’s creation of various denominations, which all claim to be followers of Jesus Christ!
John wrote about the ideal concept of the reaction of God toward believes in His Son. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. (1 John 4:15-17). John wrote in this world, “we are like him.” This echoes the belief that all believers are striving to become more Christ-like every day of their lives in their world!
Every human being is given life by God, and each one has a freewill, so we can decide what rhetoric we will believe during our mortal lifetime. Everything we study in this world has been prepared by some human being and thus contains the truth that that person has come to believe during their mortal lifetime. There is a book, however, that has been given to mankind that gives directions for all of mankind, which will lead them to eternal life with their Creator! Have you studied this book; it is called the Bible. If you decide to study it, Jesus left behind in this cursed world the Holy Spirit to guide your reading, if you can learn to allow it to happen.
Most Christians believe there is only one Savior that God sent into this cursed world. One Savior, one belief system, one Book given to us by the one God! Why do we need denominations? Peter and Paul did not agree that every human being should be offered this free gift of salvation! Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. (1 Peter 3:8). John wrote what he believed about Jesus Christ after living with Him for around three years. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (1John 4:8). And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. (1John 4:16).
Amen!
