The Mystery of History

What an awesome time we had looking at life through God's eyes. We looked at God's love for us from Eden to Eternity. As we learned about His glory on earth and how He wants us to give Him glory, we learned just how much God loves us.


God made it all. He made everything beautiful and good. He started in Eden where God made it all for our good. This is act 1, God made it all. We can see how great God is by looking at everything He made. He made the sunrise, the mountains, and the sea. He made the stars, the sun and the entire universe. And He made it all for us. He wanted to show us how much He loves us. And after the sixth day, God said, "it is good.'

God made it all to express his love for us. Everything He made was for us. Everything was perfect. He even made us in His image to show us His love. Jesus came to earth and died for us to show us God's love. Everything good that happens is to show us God's love.

Act 2 we see Adam bringing sin into the world. This actually gave us all an equal playing field. We know that everyone is born with sin and no one ix exempt. We all need forgiveness. What came with sin? The worst thing is separation from God. Adam hid. Sin also turned this perfect world into a mess. We see it each day, as sin ruins lives. Sin takes everything that was perfect and messes it up. Sex was perfect; sin took it and made child molesters, prostitution and other perverted sex acts. God made it good for His glory, sin messed it up.

Act 3 is Jesus came to restore us to Him. Jesus came into this world to save us from eternal damnation, to keep us out of hell. He showed His love by teaching us how to live for God. He taught that following all the rules just is not good enough, even if we could. Just as sin entered the world though one man, Adam, sin was deafeated by one man, JESUS. He is the way, the light, the truth. To escape hell, we accept Christ forgiveness by asking for His forgiveness and believing Him when He says He forgives us. We know we have accepted His forgiveness by repentance, the Bible teaches. That is to turn away from doing wrong.

Act 4 is God gave us the ability to choose. The question is this, which will you choose? Will you choose to follow God? Or will you choose to follow your own way? How do you know His way? I learn from reading His Bible. I learn from attending His church. I attend TBWC, where He has called me. One thing we can know for sure, He has called each person to belong to a church. We are His family and we should be in His house with fellow brothers and sisters in Christ. I learn from being in a small group. I learn from Godly relationships among other ways.

After learning, the choice is mine. I will answer to God for my choices and so will you. Do you choose God's ways or your ways?

Act 5 is Jesus will return for His family. One day, I don't know when, He will return. What will He find you doing? What relationship will you have with Jesus when He arrives? When He arrives it will be too late to start a relationship. This is the day the Lord has made and He made it to get glory by you giving your life to Him. What will you choose?
