WHEN GOD DOES NOT MAKE SENSE

Imagine that someone step up to you and say "do you know that God left His throne in heaven and came down to earth just to die for you?" what will be your reaction?

The truth is that God actually left his throne and came to share humanity, our pains and our shame. He understands everything we are going through today.

We are not qualify for such an act, in fact the Bible have this to say about us, "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. God presented him as a sacrifice of atonement,through faith in his blood. He did this to demonstrate his justice, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished—he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus." Romans 3: 23-26

THE TRUTH
1. We are all sinners: This is based on God's yardsticks and standard.
2. Since we are all sinners, we fall short of God's glory. The same glory he gave man before the fall
3. We become justified, declared "NOT GUILTY, RIGHTEOUS, DISCHARGED fromsin" just by accepting Jesus' work of grace on the cross.
4. God's mercy allowed Jesus Christ to come die for us, even when we were still in sin (see Romans 5: 8)

It does not make sense when God declare us guiltles just because we accept Jesus. This is a great mystery. we cannot understand this act of love by our mere human understanding. we need God's help and the intervention to understand this. A muslim might not understand this, the Jew might fight this concept, and the Philosophers might see this as foolish. But you can't ignore this. This message has been changing lives since the time of Jesus walk on earth. surely, all these people testifying that God has done something new in there lives cannot all be stupid, deceived, and confused.

You will begin to understand how God moves in people's lives the day you submit to His will for you. God loves you, no matter what you did in the past, he will give you a second chance.

Read this words from "Move in me " a song written by Michael W. Smith

"I am only human
Struggling to find
Confidence in all that I believe
You are only holy
You are love defined
And you have said to ask and I'll recieve
So I have come to pray
That you will come and fill
The hunger here inside me to grow
Stronger in the faith
There's a longing and a need
To have you ever closer
Come fill me

Cause when you move in me
It's like a symphony
a timeless melody
That soothes my soul
Though silent I can tell
That you're alive and well
Cause I can feel you move
In me

What they try to tell me
Is that your love is false
And faith is just a way
I choose to feel
that there was no meaning
to you upon the cross
that I should reach for something that is real
And when those words are said
The questions in me start
And I don't have any answers
Until I stop thinking with my head
And start listening to my heart
And there I find my assurance
I tell them
Cause when you move in me
It's like a symphony
a timeless melody
That soothes my soul
Though silent I can tell
That you're alive and well
Cause I can feel you move
In me"

All you need to do is stop thinking with your head and start listening
to your heart, then you will find the assurance that God
has all this while being making sense.

It is my prayer that He will open your eyes to see
that He has being making sense all the while
but you are too busy to see that.
