THE MEANING OF OUR EXISTENCE IN THE WORLD
Why does mankind suffer? Why did God make us so weak and fragile? Why did God allow us to be placed in such seemingly hopeless circumstances?
God wants to teach us a simple lesson, a lesson that will stay with us throughout eternity. We only have a very short time to learn the lesson.
THE VOICE SAID, CRY. AND HE SAID, WHAT SHALL I CRY? ALL FLESH IS GRASS, AND ALL THE GOODLINESS THEREOF IS AS THE FLOWER OF THE FIELD:
THE GRASS WITHERETH, THE FLOWER FADETH: BECAUSE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD BLOWETH UPON IT: SURELY THE PEOPLE IS GRASS.
ISAIAH 40:6-7
I remember when my dad turned eighty years old. I asked him if he had ever thought that he would ever reach eighty years old when he was a boy. He answered me saying, "It doesn't seem that long ago that I was fifteen years old."
I replied, "It doesn't seem that long ago that I was fifteen years old either." At the time, I was over forty years old, half an average person's life span was over, and it was then that I realized just how fast time was passing me by. It was then that I realized how fleeting my life was and if we ask any older person, time seems to go faster and faster the older we get. I realized then that someday, if God blessed me, I would live to be an old man breathing my last breath and while looking back over a very long life, all my time on earth would only have been a blink of an eye.
If we fail to learn this one lesson, we will be forever lost and separated from God. However, if we learn this one lesson, we will be joined with God forever, and we will have all eternity before us!
I am not going to keep you in suspense. The one lesson we must learn before we die is this:
GOD LOVES US οΎ… AND HIS "WORD" WAS, IS, AND FOREVER WILL BE, ABSOLUTELY RELIABLE!
THE GRASS WITHERETH, THE FLOWER FADETH: BUT THE WORD OF OUR GOD SHALL STAND FOR EVER.
ISAIAH 40:8
We suffer hurt because we have left the protection of God's everlasting arms. The reason for all the suffering in the world is mankind's unbelief, or lack of trust, in God and His Word. It would appear that any child could learn this lesson: THE WORD OF OUR GOD SHALL STAND FOREVER; however, it is the most difficult lesson in the world to learn. The whole purpose of this book is to show you how to learn this one lesson or how to Walk in the Spirit. My hope and desire is that by the end of this book, you will begin travelling on a journey of excitement and wonder and faith, and by the end of your journey, you will be radically transformed into the very image of Jesus Christ, who is in Himself, the express image of God the Father. See 2 Corinthians 3:18 and Hebrews 1:3. You will be agreed with God and you will walk with God.
Many modern day Christians tend to believe that after a person accepts Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior, the battle is over. They are right in one respect, our battle against God is over! Once we confess the LORD Jesus as our Savior, we have passed the biggest hurdle in our relationship with God. We are no longer in outright rebellion and battle against God. We have seen the light, God has delivered us from the bondage of our enemy the devil. It is the first step on our journey to the land of promise and like the old Chinese proverb states: Every journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.
