The devil(satan) has deceived millions of
people into thinking that God does not exist.
God created science but satan has used science
and twisted it to deceive the world that there
is no God. The devil has convinced so many
people that science is god of the universe.
Smh! I feel really sorry for people who have
fallen into this trap and this is a clear
indication that we(christians) have a lot of
work to do.
Sometimes I really wonder what God has done
that people hate him so much. The moment some
people hear about God, they get so furious and
annoyed. The truth is that we are getting
angry at the wrong person. The devil is the
one causing all this hatred and he keeps
deceiving most of us into thinking that it is
God's fault that there is pain and struggle in
the world. Jesus clearly said "the thieve
comes to steal, kill and destroy but I have
come that you may have life and have it
abundantly"(Jn 10:10). So you see, pain and
struggle come from satan(the thieve). The
reason why there is still suffering in the
world is because we are still suffering from
angry at the wrong person. The devil is the
one causing all this hatred and he keeps
deceiving most of us into thinking that it is
God's fault that there is pain and struggle in
the world. Jesus clearly said "the thieve
comes to steal, kill and destroy but I have
come that you may have life and have it
abundantly"(Jn 10:10). So you see, pain and
struggle come from satan(the thieve). The
reason why there is still suffering in the
world is because we are still suffering from
the effect of the sin committed by Adam and
Eve as narrated in Gen 2:4-3:24. God still
loves us very much and all this suffering will
be over when we join him in heaven. In God's
kingdom, there is no pain, no suffering, no
struggle, no hate, no negative thing at all.
I have heard many people ask this question before "how did
God come about"? The truth is that we should never ask this
particular question and just accept who he is. The tendency is that
when we keep asking this question, we tend to disbelieve and then
our faith goes down the drain. It is only the devil who brings this
question to mind to have us confused. The universe itself is a
mystery let alone God's existence. The human brain is too little to
understand God's mystery and therefore we should just accept him
and believe.
If an atheist scientist asks me "how did God come about"? My
question to him is 'how did Science come about"? At least I can
explain how science came about: God created science.
Is there any benefit in accepting the God we do not see?
My cousin once said something to me that stroke me. He said
his teacher told him this "it is better to strongly believe in Jesus
and then find out that he didn't exist than not believe in him at all
and then find out that he actually existed. Because if you were
believing in Jesus and found out that he didn't exist, you have
nothing to lose (besides needless pride) but if he actually existed
and you never believed in him before, you will definitely regret
and it will be too late". Now tell me, isn't this wise enough? It is
better to just try Jesus out and him for divine understanding instead
of just shutting him out completely. Jesus(God the son) is full of
love and is willing to help us understand who he is if only we let
him.
What we fail to realize is that there is no forgiveness on
judgment day. Even though God is so loving and compassionate,
he can not forgive us on judgment day. You know why? Because it
will mean that all what he said would come to pass will be a lie.
God doesn't make mistakes and so his words will happen. That is
why he is giving us the chance now to submit ourselves to him. Let
him who has ears, ......
The fact that you do not see the benefit of accepting God does
not mean that there is no benefit. It simply means you are yet to
discover that benefit; and the only way to discover it is by first
accepting him. When you accept Jesus(God the son), you get into a
personal relationship with him and you will now be able to
understand who he really is and will discover for yourself that he
exists. Think of it this way. Is it possible to know if your
dad(earthly father) exists if you don't get to meet him? Is it
possible to really understand your dad's behavior if you don't have
a personal relationship with him? Definitely not! That is why the
only way to know that God exists is to first accept him and then
get into a personal relationship with him. You have nothing to
lose, but much to gain. Bear one thing in mind; faith in someone
you do not see is real faith.
People keep asking themselves this question "if God is real, then
why can't he deliver us from satan and end our suffering once and
for all? If he knows our hearts, why can't he make us choose him?"
Well, let me answer that with this illustration:
Assuming that your landlord built an apartment complex which
has about 25 apartments. You happen to rent one of the 25
apartments. He has put you in charge of that particular apartment
in which you live. Even though your landlord controls the entire
complex, does he have the right to walk into your apartment
without your permission? Can he walk in and out of your place as
he pleases? I believe we all know the answer to that :)
In the same way, God created all of us and put us in charge of
our mind and body. God is not just our landlord, but our Universal
Lord. He respects our bodies such that he allows us as owners to
make the decision to seek him or seek otherwise. There is God,
there is satan. There is the Holy Spirit, there is the evil spirit.
There are angels, there are demons. If we choose God, then we
have chosen God the father, the son and the holy spirit and so will
his angels protect us. If we deny him, be rest assure that it is satan,
his demons and the evil spirit we have embraced.
Let no one deceive you that being God-fearing is boring. Let
no one deceive you that you should live your life now as you
please and then when you get old and are tired of having fun, you
can then accept Jesus. What if the pleasures of life make you not to
see that age? Then your life would have been vanity and you will
be answerable to God on judgment day. By the way, as a born
again christian, you would enjoy your life even better because God
is full of love, peace and a sound mind. Don't get me wrong. I am
not condemning anybody. Regardless of what you have done or are
no one deceive you that you should live your life now as you
please and then when you get old and are tired of having fun, you

doing in life, just invite Jesus to take charge. Jesus is a friend to
all(good or bad). I pray everyday that we sincerely submit our
hearts to Jesus so that we all can inherit the kingdom of heaven.
May our good Lord bless this world and let it be known that we
shall rise as a people and conquer the devil in Jesus' name.
