Merciful God But Terrifying

Our sense of self-confidence, superiority and pride do not please God. Although He is a merciful God, He also wills that we humble ourselves before Him. Said the atheists that religion is intellectual infancy. If religion is relationship with God, then Christ had a religion, since during His earthly ministry, He wouldn’t do anything without first saying a prayer to His Father God. Yes, Christ had a religion, but no one would dare say that our Lord had intellectual infancy in His Person. The atheists don’t include faith in their intellectual and emotional menu, for the beauty of reason and science are the ones governing and adorning their mindset. I had a casual acquaintance with atheists, and I know that even cancer or heart attack or any form of death-threat cannot change their anti-God views. But it “is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Heb. 10:31) For us on the opposite side, we need to be fearful to our merciful God, and here are our reasons:

A new year’s resolution is like a firm decision to do something better for the whole year but only to be given up after a month or so. One common resolution every first day of the year is to stop a vice such as smoking, drinking alcohol; or to end a wild nightlife; to lose weight and educate the appetite or to attend church regularly. It’s always a welcome thing to the ego to think of doing something very positive for the life, but our dark and wild side is simply very commanding sometimes!

Jesus Christ: Who is He?

Who is Jesus Christ and why is He either worshiped or hated? Well, no single person on earth is truly qualified to answer this question. As conceived by Mary, He was without a human father. The Holy Bible is our primary source of information about Christ. Micah 5:2 (NASB) says, “But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity.” Jesus existed before Mary gave birth to Him!

Depend on Someone or Something: It’s Human Nature

depend

If there’s one thing we don’t fully understand, it is our nature to depend on someone or something in times of need. A child depends on his or her mother, for example, and the mother on her job or parents. Abraham Lincoln once said, “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”

What Will Happen After the Millennium?

millennium

There will be countless people on earth forever whom we, the saints of God in Christ, will administer together with our Lord Jesus after the Millennium. (cf. Rev. 22:5, Dan. 7:27) Our final state as Christians will be that of a ruler and judge who will have immortal bodies just like our Lord Jesus, heirs and children of God in Christ, our beloved Savior.

Do you have faith in Jesus Christ? Or, why do we believe in our President—why do we believe in online banking, for example? It is because we believe based on facts; or on some hard evidence of truth. But I am wondering why in spiritual matters we always find ourselves less enthusiastic to believe.  We always doubt. The apostle Peter, for example, denied Christ three times, and Thomas wouldn’t believe in Christ’s resurrection unless our Lord would appear to Him physically. Why don’t we have faith in Christ when we have all the evidence at our fingertips to prove His claims?
