Make no Mistake!!

Make no Mistake!!

Today, too many know-it-alls are constantly reinventing maneuvers to identify items.  They no longer call a spade a spade and claim reality is a fairy-tale.  Truth be known, both of these interjections entering into our understandable communications are currently confusing the world we live in.

With all the sacred scripture from Genesis through Revelation, and the tradition of the Church, there should not be any doubt of God, creation, and God’s merciful plan to bring salvation through Christ’s compassionate death/resurrection.  Yet, as we live and view the loss of mankind, now worse than any time in human history, one can only stand afar and watch the virtue of hope sliding away from us.

Make no mistake about an eternal deity that has prepared an everlasting kingdom for each person who does not reject the Holy Trinity.  This eternal home that was foretold by many prophets is a real existence.  

The one great mistake of so many antagonists is they cannot conceive of an invisible God who said;  “In the beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless wasteland, and darkness covered the abyss, while a mighty wind swept over the waters.”  (Gn 1; 1 - 2).  It is here that these unbelievers take notice of the way God’s people believe and teach these simple rules of creation.  They do everything in their power to make a new system of creation without the premise of an Almighty entity that is God himself.

Of course most people have heard of the Big Bang theory where from out of nothing something came into being.  Whatever terminology one may use to confirm this impractical scientific premise, of creating something out of nothing just cannot hold proof.  Even science must have a starting point for anything tangible needing another tangible something to begin.

We may attempt to search the cosmos hoping to discover some sign that the entity we call God had a start in existence and then decided to create our universe and finally the species we call man.  If that could even have any semblance of reality, it would mean that the promise of eternal life will eventually have an ending.  That theorem could not be further than the Truth who is God.   

Make no mistake that our creation became real because God said; “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.”  (Gn 1: 26).  First it was a word among the three persons of the Holy Trinity, and a conclusive objective that there was no beginning to God.  He was already an eternal being without beginning or ending.  What makes this theological truth real is the promise God made when we were created, and before since there is no past or future with God’s Eternal happiness.  

Make no mistake that there is more than just a promise when each person is saved and shares God’s eternity forever.  It is not a finality from humanity to spirituality!  It is a complete return to the vision God had of each one of us.  Before we awoke from the womb God already planned our existence for his purpose of a created servant when he spoke the words of life in us.  “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I dedicated you, a prophet to the nations I appointed you.”  (Jer1: 5).  The words of promise before we were conceived.

No explosion of scientific falsehood could create what humanity is about and how the Holy Spirit would guide and comfort our very trek in a life created without scientific adherence.  Make no mistake, God is real, without beginning and end.  Make no mistake that you and I will be part of this life as eternal beings, without a tangible beginning since God saw each of us before human birth. And there will be everlasting life with God.
