Welcome to the universe.
No, you did not ASK to be here. Neither did I.
None of us existed to be able to request that we exist. But we are here.
The universe is a great place. But you'll find that it does have its problems to.
But one thing you should be cognizant. This existance does have its Governor. There is Authroity over this creation. And He is righteous. No I don't me He is pretty good. I mean He is perfection, ultimate Right.
Had we all been able to assemble before we existed, and voted on what kind of Governor we would have reigning over this universe, maybe we would have had the majority vote for Someone not perfect, not total righteousness, and not holy.
But though the Authority over the creation is RIGHTEOUSNESS in its ultimate sense. There is good news. He also is LOVE. I mean His love is really really strong. I mean His love is so strong that He desires your company for ETERNITY. That is from now on. That is forever. His love extends out into an endless eternity.
One other thing is good to know. This God coordinates His great love and His great righteousness at the same time. It is not easy for Him. But He has a way to be absolute riighteousness while also exercising His great love. And He has a way to excercise His great love without violating His great righteousness.
If you want to see God coordinate these two ultimate attributes together at the same time, you should study the life of one Jesus Christ. Especially you should examine His death on the cross.
There on the cross of Jesus, God executed His infinite righteousness at the same time as He flowed out His infinite love. There He drew a blank check for every human being who has ever lived. He drew a blank check in His love and paid enough to cover for the sins of the whole world - One atoning work of redemption for the entire human race for all eternity.
This was His great love at work without violating His eternal righteousness.
This was His absolute righteouss requirement activated but with His great love behind it.
We did not invent this God. Neither did we vote that He should be this way.
He just is this way. And He calls all men to believe in Christ the Lord and Savior - the God become flesh - the God become a man.
" For God SO LOVED the world that He gave His onely begotten Son, that every one who believes into Him would not perish, but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be sabved through Him."
These two sentences came out of the mouth of Jesus Christ. They are perhaps some of the most known words spoken on earth. None of us had the wisdom to utter them or to imagine them. These words came from the lips of that Son of God Who died and rose from the dead.
One act to redeem all sinners unto eternal life.
