the consequences and wanted to blame someone else, even God himself.
God predestined man to be in Christ that is why we were formed or created in the image of God. Some day each one of us that becomes a believer will conform to the will of God and have the Christ-like mind set and live his life accordingly, purifying his heart and preparing his way to enter into the kingdom.
In order for this to just happen we do not leave it up to fate, chance or luck of the draw. We have to intentionally make the decision and choice to change our wicked ways and walk the narrow path of righteousness, with an unconditional submission and surrendering to the compassion of Jesus Christ in our life. There is no other way but through the grace of God. It is not something that we do, but recognize as the calling of God upon our lives and succumb to His love of heart and soul.
Even speaking this world into existence didn’t just happen; it took the power of God to command it to be so. He separated the light from the dark because it didn’t just happen. He formed man and animals and again evolution had no part in the process because it didn’t just happen. There is a design and purpose so that God’s love could be manifested and magnified through us and the gift of salvation is our reward. Even the air that we breathe doesn’t just happen; God gives us every second of time that we have on this planet and he chooses when to call us home. |
