He shared that with no other part of his creation in this world, only humans. He shared many attributes of himself with us, one of the greatest is intelligence, and the ability to make choices based on knowledge. His love for you existed before you know about Him. God did it simply because His love for us exceeds anything we can comprehend. He came after us to seek us out for this single purpose: to overcome the required justice of death and sin, so that we could live with, and be like Him in eternity. Jesus is called the 'Son of God' not becuase he was a biological 'son' but because he took on flesh and submitted to the present need-he stepped out of an eternal world into our temporal world. God took on a man's flesh and blood and became Jesus Christ. God in the flesh is who we call Jesus Christ.
It's like we were stuck in the mud, unable to free ourselves, so he left heaven to risk getting stuck Himself, and waded out after us, just to rescue us. God stepped out of His powerful state, took on flesh and bones and blood-he stooped down to become a human-he came to be one of us. He came to the earth, He came from heaven where no sin existed, to earth where all the sin exists. Since we couldn't go to God to fix the problem, God responded by coming to us instead. How did God respond? He responded in the only way possible: He Himself became the means to overcome sin and the spiritual death it would cause mankind. Spending eternity away from God is called 'Spiritual Death.'īut God knew of sin and wanted us back-no matter what the cost. The justice required of sin is simple-all who have sin on their soul have to exist away from God for eternity unless that sin is removed. With sin there is a consequence, a form of 'justtice.' Sin results in separation from God. It prevents us from experiencing his presence. But in this life, Sin became thebarrier between us and God. The ultimate goal of this life is simply to get back to God. If sin is within us, when this life ends, we can not exist in the place and state where God is. There is a new life beyond our imagination that he has prepared for those who love him. God wants mankind to be with him when this life ends. Having sin in our soul for ever is an eternal problem that God wanted to change. Unless we are changed by God and that sin is removed, sin will stay with us forever. That sin is within our souls, it is part of our thoughts and very being. Rebellion against God is a spiritual problem that causes eternal problems for our souls. Sin is exerting our own will over God's will. If we ignore His advice and guidance for us, we experience sin. Sin is simply the act of mankind making choices which separate us from from God. That way is through a sacrifice made by Jesus Christ for each of us, and it is a beautiful story. He has prepared a way for us to come to him again, someday. God is a wonderful, loving being with intelligence and wisdom far beyond our own. God's desire is that each Human soul find Him in this life, and spend eternity with Him. God prepared this world as a place where our souls' character is forged-through happiness and adversity. This life is a preparation to meet God and be with Him again in eternity. This plan is revealed through the life of Jesus Christ. God has a wonderful plan to bring our souls (the inner, eternal part of each of us that can not die) back to live with him in Eternity. Your life was not an accident, nor your existence without purpose. God's plan of salvation, revealed through the Gospel of Jesus Christ, helps us understand the meaning to many perplexing questions such as "Why am I here?" "What Happens when I Die?" "Is there Life after Death?"
We have life, we grow, we learn, we feel pain, we ask questions, we search for happiness. The True StoryĪs humans, we share common experiences.
