The Most Impossible Thing

Warning: This message is intended only for those who are sincerely thirsty for the truth and still open minded when it comes to their theology. If you are close minded and inflexible with your current perceptions, do not read this. This article may be offensive and judgmental to you.

Our conviction on who’s the true God – is the simplest and the most truthful doctrine out there. Compare it by reason and logic. Skip the scriptures just for now. I know, the Words of God are righteous and true but they are literally wide open for “anybody’s interpretation”. Because of that it will just create ample confusions. I want everyone to reflect on their own unbiased intelligence and discerning as much as possible.

Here are the details

From the beginning, God planned and willed to become a human being. It was the most complex and strenuous plan. He needed to create the sun, bacteria, oxygen and the list was endless. Bound to every creation He also created all universal principles, cycles, systems to keep everything feasible and in check. A human being needed all of these to survive. Without the laws of nature for instance, life on earth will not exist. To become human was the first and foremost reason why God needed to literally create every single thing. He didn’t create a thing for no reason (Colossians 1:16).

When He became a man he was 100%  human, not different from us. He was a mere man but He was a highly intelligent human being (Luke 2:46,47 & 52).

Like us, He was born. He ate, studied, have grown and  lastly, he died. Although His life was very brief. We could safely say that it was bitter and miserable compared to the most of us (Isaiah 53:3). He was a man of sorrows. He was “alive too” not as God but being a man. His pains and sufferings were real. His awareness and reception to emotions and feelings are all the same with what we encounter everyday. Like you and I, He went thru weaknesses, agonies and was hungered.  He felt and experience exactly the same miseries like all of us (Hebrews 4:15) but only to a greater degree and extent. More distinctly, our Lord Jesus Christ suffered more than an enduring man could bear.  He endured every hardship because of His sincerest love and understanding. I think we can do that too as a human being. But it is truly challenging to love others as you love your own self. How much more to truly love others more than your own? Jesus Christ loved us that way. He loved us with the most unselfish love. His devotion and compassion for others was the greatest. His great love has been inseparable and incomparable above all since the beginning (Romans 8:39).

Everyone would think even angels that God can not be a man that He can not suffer nor die. No one have thought and expected it. For us, being susceptible was an estranged idea to God. But to Him it was a perfect plan that He alone knew and purposed in Himself (Ephesians 1:9). It was His greatest secret to become vulnerable and the only way to manifest His greatest glory.

The Almighty God needed to be a man to save mankind. As a man, He felt all things that were unnatural to Him as God. Being God, He was the creator and not the creature. The awareness of  a creator versus someone who was created is completely distinct from each other. As God, He lived pleasurably and all mightily but as a human being He became fragile and fainting. Visualize yourself as an authoritarian sultan of a great nation. One day, you decided to abdicate your crown to become a despicable slave. How disheartening is that? Who would do that anyways? But what God did was way beyond anything compared to the most closest analogy we could think of. He executed an unparalleled form of stepping down.

most impossible thing in the universe
Without returning back to heaven, God’s throne will be empty. That was why His plan was flawless from the start to end. And only Him knew the details right until now. It has been the most impossible plan all throughout time.

One mistake, one miscalculation or just one flaw in God’s plan may vanish Him forever and the rest of mankind. Remember, when He was with us He was not as god but as a man. To be the president of a nation is extremely laborious and ambitious. How much more for a man to become a God? But upon His resurrection and ascension to heaven He was able to take back His form as the only one true God. How remarkable was that!

God as a creator was glorious already. God being powerful was glorious too. However, the greatest glory of God was exhibited when He performed the most impossible thing in the universe.

Nobody could have ever done it but only by Him. He has beaten everyone’s understanding and knowledge. He justified and proved His brilliance was way beyond anyone’s.

The Most Impossible Thing that every rational living thing in the universe would think was that God cannot become a real human being.

And yet, He did become one. It has been God’s greatest and highest glory since about two thousand years ago. The greatest glory of God was to perform the most impossible thing which required the greatest effort and sacrifice – becoming 100% man.

You got questions? Who doesn’t?

We understand that everyone may have numerous questions. Since no principle in this world was established without questions and proofs. Although my article requires more deep rational thoughts and more diverse intense prayers than questions. Even deceits can show evidences and sound reasonings but it does not mean it is the truth. The truth of a person may sound limited and consistent base on his aptitude. However, the truth in himself should be enough for one’s self. We want you to tap that truth. We want you to know to be sure of the truth that you posses after honestly considering this concept. Everyone should be assured of whatever they believe in.

Do not worry about other peoples’ or the general public’s view. Your truth should be completely independent from others. Wealth and numbers mean nothing to God. Any research or external factor has no bearing at all. You better ask yourself and be absolutely certain of your truth. Knowing the truth is the key to an assured salvation. Your present and next life completely depends on it.

Hopefully, there is a quantifiable chance that you may accept our belief as the best truth for you. Because it has been the best for us without a doubt.

What we are up to? We Have nothing to gain

We are against centuries old ideologies, collective principles of colossal religions around the globe. We are crumbs and non-existent compared to those big shots. Criticisms, judgments and enemies are bound to show up. The world may be against us but we have nothing to gain.  We have no hidden motives nor agenda. We are simply obliged to share the truth in us. Who will tell the world of the truth that was committed upon us?  If not us, no one will.

Hence, we are boldly sharing our faith with clear conscience and with the purest intentions but it is at most frightening.

 

The Truth is Definite and Exact

God’s truth is definite and exact. His truth is not flexible and does not vary at anytime. The truth about God, of God and in God will always remain as the truth forever. No amount of time and vast amount of information could change it. From the beginning, it was there. To the end, it is still the same. His truth is not ever changing but detailed and accurate. There is only one truth that concerns our God. There is only one godliness of God. His deity was intricately destined upon and along the truth. No greatest power could ever change and manipulate it. There is only one truth of God.

We know, everyone will say that they are of the truth. Every belief, denomination and institution proclaims that they are the truth. Even to those erroneous beliefs that are unethical and proven guilty to the rule of law would try to deny its deceitfulness. A sham or a fraudulent establishment will never declare that they are not of the truth,  But they do exist in many ways and forms as they deceive others. It is an endless and convoluted line to traverse and track along. However, many would say they are of the truth but there is only One Truth. No atheist nor physicist can modify the truth. It is well written and established by God. An innovation or modification of it is simply a fraud.

truth is definite and exact
Find the Truth for it can be found.

Men are resourceful and inventive. Men can create explanations about anything even about God. Leading to different routes and paths but no matter how much we justify each disclosure, the truth remains to be the truth. It remains to be unchanged. It will be set till the end. God cannot be many if He is indeed only one. We have to seek that one truth that is possible to be known in the last generations of the world. For the longest time, the greatest truth was hidden but now was manifested. It can be unearthed with God’s grace and mercy but never with pride and greed.

Colossians 1:26 – Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

I Corinthians 2:7 – But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

Peter 1:5 – Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

He is an Immortal God, But Can God Choose to Die?

An Immortal God but He have no choice?

As everyone knows, God is immortal and He can not die. Yes indeed, I certainly agree with that notion. He is the all powerful mighty Being – an immortal God and for sure, no one can ever end His life. Nevertheless, put Him to defeat nor even bring Him to a faint destruction. He is undeniably the only one God and not less than the creator of everything. But the real question that we do need to address is not just about God’s immortality. It is about God’s limitation. Is God limited on things that He can and can not do? Can God simply not die even He chooses to? I beg to greatly disagree. We can not limit and prohibit God – never, not now and not in a lifetime. Who are we to stop Him on whatever He pleases? But Yes, God simply being “god” could not die but if He decided to die for a moment, no one can stop Him, not you, not satan and not even His angels. He can not be called the King of kings and Lord of lords if He has no real authority after all.

Isaiah 46:10 – Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

God can do anything that pleases Him. He will do it. He will perform it. There will be no setback, no limitation and no stoppage. He is truly the Almighty God.

immortal god
He is an Immortal God. 1 Timothy 1:17 – Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

How did the immortal God die?

God is a God of truth, faithfulness and full of principles. He is always of the truth and never lies. He loves righteousness all the way. But He has no pleasure with evil and corrupt. Since God can not disrupt His own precept and core foundation of truth, He needs to dismantle it in a natural course. Engaging His own fundamentals head on without deception, fraud and trickery. He will not violate His system.  God can not simply end His life that is why He needed to become 100% man. God can not die but man dies, he has a flesh and mortal body. God became our Lord Jesus Christ, a man who died to redeem the world. He was a 100% man no “godly attribute” at all  for a period of atleast three decades. However, He is not a mere man before and after His manifestation, He was God above all that does everything in His pleasure.

Is dying wicked? Can death be a righteous act? Can God sacrifice His own life? Why did God choose to die? Will God’s pleasure be really complete without death? Is He a glorious God without sacrificing Himself? Does He feel fear and weakness? Can He fathom man’s mind through sympathy? Does eternal means no end? Watch out for more details for our upcoming articles and book…

The Greatest Glory of the Father and of the Son Part 2

greatest glory

The Greatest Glory of God, part 2 of 2 parts. Click here for the 1st part,.

If there is a Father and a son of separate entities. Is that the greatest glory of God?

God sent forth His son for a suicide mission (quoted from the Steve Jobs movie) and He succeeded. Can we refer to this as the highest glory of God? No, it is not the greatest glory He can achieve because God can do better. Partially, the Father has some glory too. Although for sure, most glory belongs to our Lord Jesus Christ as He is the one who lived as a man and died at the cross. But for me, as a parent I will not send my only son to battle knowing that He will suffer and die. I would rather send myself instead of him. Who am I compared to the greatest Father of all, I am certainly “nothing”. That is why, the Father did not send His son who is a separate person from Him (He has none) but sent His son by sending Himself to be 100% man and becoming the son of God.

If the man is also a God at the same time.

If God became man but remained the Almighty God altogether can that be the highest glory of God? In that sense, becoming a man is utterly effortless. Can you call that the greatest and highest glory of all.  There is no glory in that and certainly not the highest glory. He can do better for sure and He will never do this kind of thing. Why be a God and a man at the same time and damage His own dignity and glory?

Numbers 23:19 – God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

2 Corinthians 3:3 – Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the hear

Luke 19:38 – Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.

 greatest glory

The greatest glory of God. The only God who is the father of all glory.

It may sound complicated but it is as simple as common sense. For a minute, take away the preconceived ideas and sectarian ideologies in our mind.  Hear this. God simply became 100% man. It is like the government asking for your son to join the war but you wouldn’t allow it. That is why you pretended to be your son and joined the army in lieu of him. But in this case, God did not pretend or imitate, He became a real man and took the role of being a servant. He became Jesus Christ our Lord. When He desires to be somebody He portrays it truthfully and genuinely, not half baked and ill-conceived. It is the most difficult thing because He never died yet and never felt powerless and helpless ever before. But He is God, He can do anything that He desires. As you can imagine, doing this will amaze everyone and show His boundless glory.

This greatest glory is exclusive only for Him for this is the greatest sacrifice of all. The risk was unimaginable.

The “very” highest glory of all is commensurate to the greatest sacrifice ever, the greatest risk, the most difficult task, the most impossible thing, the most unexpected and unpredictable event, the most creative wonder; and the most extraordinary triumph of all; and that is Him becoming 100% man. He planned, He came, He died, He resurrected and He was victorious above all. The effort of God from being the greatest and becoming the humblest man is the most distinct act of nobility and most virtuous sacrifice of all. No one can ever duplicate that. That is unmatched in all times. His glory is absolutely stunning and only to Him belongs.

Man’s knowledge of Him grows and can be achieved upon God’s purpose and will.

Man’s truth about God advances for the purpose of confirming and validating more facts about Him and as well as to rebuke fallacies and misinterpretations. However, His truth about Himself is not evolving but always constant and the same. It is His desire to understand Him completely but we will not reach this sum of understanding unless otherwise permitted by Him upon His appointed time. It will strategically be uncovered at the very end of times.

2 Peter 3:18 – But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

 

The Greatest Glory of God Part 1 of 2

greatest glory of god

What is the greatest glory of God?

Glory lies upon the difficulty of an act or how impossible the feat is. The more formidable the task, the greater glory awaits. If it is something ordinary, simple and done effortlessly then the glory is not even worth mentioning. The credit should not be acknowledged as significant as the unique ones. It is just standard to give a worthy glory and honor for an extraordinary accomplishment. It is not righteous to give a lesser degree of acknowledgment for someone who deserves more. On the other hand, it is not also wise to offer more praise or reward for someone who deserves even less. This is just plainly base on logic and common sense. And I know, everyone would agree with me and nothing to disagree with here.

What then is the glory of God that well deserves Him? He deserves the highest, greatest and all the glory all creatures could ever give. He deserves the best and undivided glory of all. He deserves our utmost distinction and grandeur nothing less.

Is the greatest glory of God lies to the accomplishment of the son? Opposite to the word of God. Proverbs 17:6 Children’s children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Image by Arvind Balaraman at Freedigitalphotos.net

Why many sects give the credit to the son?

Giving credit to the son of man or to the son of God is not the same as giving credit to the Father. They are not the same glory.  A father’s glory and a son’s glory are completely dissimilar. The feeling and perception of each are distinct eventhough we are only referring to the same achievement. Why? Because many faiths believe they are not one in personality. There is no way for them to unite the separate glories.

greatest glory of god

There is only one way to give all glory to Him.

All glory belongs to God. Our God who is the Father of all is our Lord Jesus Christ. He deserves all the glory and praise.  He is the creator of all things, the giver of life.  The only way to acknowledge Him all the glory is to accept God as our Lord Jesus Christ. God manifested in blood and flesh for about 34 years, nothing more and nothing less. He became a man named Jesus about two thousand years ago.  Without accepting Him as God who became a man, glory will be divided and the highest praise and greatest knowledge of Him will never be attained. Accepting Jesus as our Lord God will conclude all glory towards Him as the author and finisher of our faith. It will be an undivided illustration of  majesty and splendor. When we are up in heaven, there will be no confusion of who to praise, adore and who to give the highest reverence. No division of honor and glory. Click here for part two and conclusion of the greatest glory of God.

Ephesians 5:20 – Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Only God Can Judge Us Through His Words

Jesus is the truth who judges in truth

God judges us all through His words and through our Lord Jesus Christ. Without the reminders and discernment of His words we will always be lost. Our path is never fine without Jesus leading and guiding the way. Truth is always in Him for He is the truth and of the truth. That is why only God can judge us correctly and fairly. Why many still don’t believe Him even up until this day? Because many people continue to believe in lies – an intentional untrue information which is use to deceive many.

only god can judge

Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

The blindness of the heart can be blamed behind it. It is the hardness of our hearts that ultimately leads us to disobedience to God’s will. Our characters and perceptions as a whole was cultivated and nurtured by our cultures, upbringing, several desires and by even more factors around us. We may not receive and accept the truth willfully, negligently, or unintentionally because of our ignorance, foolishness, adverse beliefs and/or maybe there is just no inherent care for the truth. These all contributes to the blindness of our hearts which is not alienated from the general plan of God. And people who may actually believe in lies are part of the tale as casualties or even villains in the story.

John 8: 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Truth will set you free from the pain of lies. Since most lies comes with deception and evil motives. It transpires unpleasant and hateful results at the end of the road. But we will still need to endure and be diligent about the truth. Considering that the truth does not change, you just have to live with it or accept it all the way. In some instances, you just have to suffer and withstand its consequences and pain.

Jesus is of the truth but it does not mean everyone will believe Him and everyone will be pleased upon hearing Him (John 8:45). Many were offended and hurt with our Lord Jesus Christ telling the truth to everyone. They even called Him devil and threw stones at Him. Telling biblical truths and facts will never make everybody love you but it is quite the opposite. But we are obligated to spread the truth of the gospel no matter what is the outcome. Criticism should be the least of our worries. With our ever changing world, we also need to evolve to be able to share the gospel efficiently and righteously. that is a considerable task.Thus, we have to speak and preach boldly but carefully using His words.

Titus 2:8 – And sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.

Only God can judge us. The Holy Scripture is the judge in truth

Stating and declaring biblical facts and believing on them is clearly not judging others. It is the word of God who judges them and it is of the truth. However, if you shared the words of God maliciously with hurtful desires or without sympathy then it is indistinguishable as condemnation and a personal accusation. Only God can judge us and He does that effectively through His words.

2 Timothy 4:2 – Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine.

2 Timothy 3:16 – All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

How do we use His words to judge?

The words found in the scriptures can be used as instruments for judging others. His words are powerful and comes with potent authority that can be wielded to subdue anything in this world. It is exceptionally adequate in purpose. It can encourage and discourage. It can rebuke, offend and please anyone. It can teach us righteously and can destroy lives as well. And, all can be done without fail. The Holy Bible is one of the greatest gifts of God to mankind but take heed because even His words are not immune to man’s corruption and perversion. It can be violated as any other tool or weapon.

The scripture is a quick, compellingly powerful and a sharp two edged sword that can be abused and be used in very bad ways. Putting us even farther away from God, quite the contrary to its very essence and purpose. His words are meant for us to know Him more and be closer to Him but it can also be utilized by the enemy to bring us down and turn to each other.

Galatians 4:16 – Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?

Ephesians 4:15 – But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

 

Judge in truth, everything will end up in our heart and soul.

Why did you do it? No one exactly knows how and why we do things but our own selves. It is only “us” who can answer our own questions. Did I perverse the words of God? Did I spread His words with hidden agenda and malice? We may have said things soundly but God Judges differently. Speak the truth in love then I assure you there will be no mistake in doing that. But I can not assure you that all men will indeed love you. If that happens, count it all as a persecution in faith for which you are entitled to a greater reward.

Speak the truth in love. Let God and His words do the judging. That is the way to go.

Even His Plan Needs Time

Even God’s plan needs time. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the author and finisher of our faith. How did He become the author? And how can He finish our faith? Can faith really end and when does one’s faith ends? There are many question but not enough time to answer them all. Since we have to answer them all in detail and in strands. And yet ultimately, all things can be achieved through time but man don’t have enough time in his hands.

Faith can end upon His plan

Faith ends when that something that you believe had finally materialize. It bloomed and transpired into a colorful flower you dreamed of. Your faith can either give in or be achieved but as soon as time is depleted you will know exactly that your faith is at the finale. Your faith in that single event is forfeited and consummated. However, as Christians and faithful believers our cycle of faith never ends up until the promised salvation as such we have to continue on believing. Even faith needs time to happen.

1 Peter 1:9 – Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.

plan needs time

Time is part of His plan. God’s plan needs time

God’s plan is no different. Even God needs time for His plans to take place. Time is essential to become the author and the finisher. To plan, create and build are the easiest for Him. Nonetheless it is the test of time that you can never rush. You can not spawn 50 years from just 5 days or 5 years. The likelihood of having the precise outcomes and sequences of events procuring the desired results after is the real trouble and dilemma. Though the thrill of His plans are the actual occurrence of events thus, it has to be dispense accordingly. The Finisher as His given title is one of the trickiest part of being God. Although He did succeed above all not because He is God but He is – who He is. Patiently thru time He waited and endured. God achieved things perfectly because He let His plan ran its course. And God has all the time in the universe to let His plans work perfectly. He is indeed a gracious, compassionate and an enduring God.

James 1:4 – But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

plan needs time

Our time is part of the equation of God’s plan

We believe in so many things in life. We got so many excuses, we may not have enough aptitude, resources or the power to do things. But most importantly, the truth is we have no time to prove or disprove all of the things we believe in. Time is a commodity that gets depleted and many men chooses to think they have all the time in the world. No, our time is but limited. When you don’t fully believe, trust and obey God never expect that time is in your hands. Chance and time will soon cease and stop. You have to swiftly and urgently race towards Him because He owns all the time.

However, if God has a work and purpose for you, all you have to do is trust Him  and wait patiently. God’s plan will work out perfectly just give it some time. Never be bothered by time since it is at your side, a formidable ally.

His anointed church and members of the church should learn to patiently wait for God’s grand plan to transpire. His plan will happen in time. As He had chosen us, we have all the defined time that determines our victorious end. No need to hurry and worry too much.

A blessed and a happy Foundation to all.

 

 

The Detail of God’s Plan

God’s plans were in detail as His creations were thorough indeed from microscopic to astronomical specifications. The more ingenious you are the more detailed your plan is. Look at the architects and engineers of 15th century, compare them with the professional builders of today. The building requirements and calculations are over the top. Imagine God’s plans or His blueprints. God is far more superior and knowledgeable above all and beyond all times. His grand plan of salvation is thus, the most detailed plan ever. You cannot and will never fathom it my friend, without the Spirit of Truth.

God’s plan in Jesus Christ

The creation of man and everything else was subtle and intricate but it was all known to God. Since, it was His plan from the beginning. The flow and ordinance of His chosen ones through the generations are all guided and well pondered.  Becoming Jesus as the son was His destiny and role which was all planned vividly. Think of all the details. They are innumerable. Who was His mother? Where and when was Jesus born? How does He look like? How did He die? To God knowing and doing the details was one of the thrilling and satisfying part of creating His creation. The planning was performed probably thousands or millions of years ago (who knows) but the eventuality of all is still yetl to come. How marvelous His works and plans are?

Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

God’s Plan in us

Our own little life is no excuse. If we love Him and believe that we are called according to His purpose. This is a purpose we have to insist in ourselves by believing and working for the sake of His will. We are well may be in His detailed plan, without a doubt. But the microscopic parts of the plan are replaceable and even disposable depending upon its importance and function.

You want to be sure of your calling? At this point in time, we can not be and we should not be arrogant to be sure of it. We should continue believing and giving diligence on it. Failure will not be an option for anyone who keeps believing and working.

2 Peter 1:10 – Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

How Salvation can be Lost Forever?

Is there a moment time when God is not present?

Can God the Almighty be lost for a moment, perhaps just for a few seconds? Is there a possibility that God can be lost forever? The Holy Scriptures does not bluntly say it but it does state that it is possible. The Bible itself introduced the possibility and reiterated the consequence of what if. Thus, without God – salvation can be lost forever as well.

We are not certainly making this up but got the idea from the Holy Book. Let us closely study and review the verses I’m referring to. If the Bible was open minded on this controversy, why can’t we?

1 Corinthians 15:26 – The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

According to the verse above, the last enemy was death. Why not lust of the flesh or the devil himself? Why was it that the death was the last enemy? Being the Almighty God, death should not be a problem at all to Him. Death should have no power or influence on Him. He is God the giver and taker of life. Death should never be an issue to Him. After all, God is eternal and immortal.

salvation can be lost
No creature shall escape death without His permission. Death is an inevitable moment of all creatures. Without Him, salvations is non existent. Without His resurrection, salvation can be lost forever.
Why consider death to be His last enemy? Because it really was His enemy

Death became His greatest adversary.  Because during those times, He was not God. He was a pure 100% man. When God became man there was absolutely no God in Him and in any way nor there was no Godly character in Him. There was no God in heaven, earth and anywhere else because God became flesh. He was not God but a man. It was an effective transformation. He needed to defeat death as man. It was the greatest challenge of God. The God who can not die experienced death by becoming a man. He needed to be raised by the Spirit whose task is to raise our mortal bodies, Romans 8:11. It was an immense exhibit of faith as man. How salvation can be lost forever? If God did not come back to life, salvation would have been lost.

How did He defeat death? He was the first man to die and be resurrected. He defeated death by rising back from the dead.  He proved His promise by performing it all through faith. His promise was life after death and He showed us that it is true. It is the best way to demonstrate and validate His promise which is founded by faith. It was an affirmation of the Spirit whose purpose is to resurrect the dead.

Salvation can be lost forever only if He was defeated  by death

Being God, everything was easy and possible. But without God, that was the real challenge. That is why He created His host of angels and made all the natural cycles and systems of all things. God does not need to watch and do all the works in the universe 24/7 forever. Becoming man was the greatest risk of God. Because He can be lost forever. To manifest in flesh was His greatest secret of all that no one knew. No one was able to uncover and expose Him that He will be in flesh as a mere man, not even His angels and the devil. If God hid it, no one can find it unless He reveals it upon His appointed time.  God was not weak but when He was a man that was His weakest point in time. He has no power, authority and glory. But He succeeded with flying colors graciously.

1 Corinthians 15:14 – And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

1 Corinthians 15:18 -Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

1 Corinthians 15:21- For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

We believe that God was manifested in flesh. Therefore, Jesus was God from the beginning and beforehand. If Jesus was not risen, then God can be lost forever. Satan’s plan was to kill Jesus and stop Him from preaching the gospel. He thought he had won since Jesus died. But He never knew that Jesus will rise on the third day. That was the very first resurrection of the dead.

1 Corinthians 15:20 – But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

God promised salvation from the old and pushed it through the new times. He didn’t fail us. Jesus rose from the dead and this was never ever done before. Resurrection was a mystery and a controversy until Jesus proved it to us exceptionally. He performed it Himself. He proved us that it was a perfect plan with the greatest promises in a flawless execution. Salvation can be lost but it never did happen. Thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, the faithful and true.

May our Lord Jesus Christ bless you today.

Severity of God and His Goodness

The goodness of God is not far-fetched from His love. He is good because He loves us. His goodness is the greatest kindness of all as His love. The greatest love is not the love of the mothers’ nor the fathers’ love but the love of God. God’s love is the greatest love above all. Our Lord God is the father of mercies and God of all comfort. No one is comparable to His love and goodness. God is love Himself. He is the God of love and the love of God is the greatest love that one can ever feel and have. His goodness is everywhere until such time His severity takes over them who will disobey and forget Him. He can be harsh and cruel at the end of the day. Don’t test His temper.

severity of God
The creation of heaven and earth is part of His gracious plan of goodness and love.

 

 

Romans 11:22 – Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

He created everything for His goodness and severity

God created everything for a purpose. He designated every object in certainty. He was sure with His creations. He knows the end game. He was right and victorious from the beginning to the end. He succeeded and will succeed no matter what. His last enemy was already defeated. Nothing and no one will win against Him. It was already predetermined and done since He defeated death – His last enemy that can actually make the difference. However, that was a few thousand years ago. He devised only two paths, nothing more and nothing less.

Get ready and be prepared for His coming and judgment. He will come. He is closer and nearer than ever before. Are you ready? Are we confident to meet Him face to face? Are we inclined to see our love ones who we dearly missed because of their sudden departure? If not, then let’s get ready and be prepped for His coming. For the believers and saints, His coming is the greatest hope of mankind. And that is precisely the truth.

Fear His severity

Philippians 2:12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

You can cry before you are hurt. This is how serious the matter is. Let us fear Him beyond any of these around us. Let us not fear anything or anyone that could hurt us physically but fear God even more and give reverence to Him. We are foolish not to fear Him. Be warned and be cautious. To fear Him is to depart from evil.

Proverbs 16:6 – By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.

severity of god
Even in this modern world, a dreadful day will come. Though, it will only exhibit the partial severity of God. Since it is beyond our imagination.

He is not visibly and concretely around. Although His presence is everywhere, thus He can do the worst and make things end anytime He pleases. He is that powerful and mighty. He is not called the Almighty for no obvious reasons.  He is equally the giver and taker of every single piece of anything including our dear lives. Let Him be your dread upon all the frights.

Don’t get me wrong. He is an awesome God, full of marvels and wonders but He is the scariest when He is. His goodness is unmatched as well as His severity. He can be furious and show His wrath as He pleases. He is hard and cannot be bended. No one can advise nor teach Him. He is always sure and certain of His desires and plans. No one can endure His indignation. We should never be against Him. His violence is ironclad and cannot be contained by anyone. When it is late then it is really too late. There is no more clemency and grace. Repentance and penitence has no power and influence anymore. If the end has come, you already had missed the boat. And there is no force nor power that can turn it back. His mercies are depleted and exhausted. It is the end.
