Our Lives are the Pride and Joy of Christ

Jesus came to redeem each of us and through his Holy Spirit has made a world that will endure every type of evil as we seek and find his grace. There may be events that will surely challenge our daily routines which might test our faith, but we must hold fast to the grace Christ has placed within us.

In a society that has placed untold requirements upon any one of us should never be the impetus that will cast a shadow on our belief that the Spirit of God will always watch over the spiritual entity that must hold onto our faith completely.

There are factions that will attempt to discourage our sense of understanding the Will of God in our lives and promise what they already have can be ours as well. The definition of this premise is an easy life without investing our self-acknowledgeable efforts for others. It is what we call the “me only” scenario that is the Marxist philosophy that does away with the will to search, develop, and produce a world for everyone else as well as ourselves.

The problem that a socialist type of living produces is the elimination of A Holy Spirit that teaches love for all people. God never intended man to be an entity that does not teach “One for all, and all for one.” Perhaps as we watch the elements of selfishness continue to expand we will also see a selfless attitude that has every aspect of failure to what the human race was embedded with.

For many unbelievers in a kingdom that places us all as loving children of God their expectations will be the shock to their Communistic views and most of them may just reach the shores of hell on a slippery slope from which there is no retreat from.

Hell is reserved for those who pronounce that the God we believe in is a fantasy and they do not want his forgiveness since he is a nobody. The passage into hell is of their own choice and once they find what we preached about heaven is true; that they missed the boat and will be alone forever.

If you might have read any of the articles where I described hearing a horrible scream at 3 AM while praying and being told it came from the depth of hell may get an idea of its dark and empty existence that never will end. I never lost the sense of what I can say, “that is no place to enter where God is absent.”

How many, we may ponder, do not believe in an after-life, especially with the Holy Trinity, will see something that they never thought existed? Yet, the one thought they might imagine is why did I not believe the ministers or saved relatives what they kept speaking about as I ignored their words about Jesus Christ? O, if only I would have discarded my pride! But, it's too late now!

Perhaps we all might have children or even older friends that need a little more inspiration to help them believe. But that is a hope that may have results or may not. Pray for the grace from God to find some faith in them that will reach their stubborn hearts.
