“God wants you to understand that it is a life of faith, not a life of sentimental enjoyment of His blessings. Faith by its very nature must be tried. ‘Though he slay me, yet will I trust Him’ – This is the most sublime utterance of faith in the whole of the Bible.” Oswald Chambers

Why is there so much knowledge available to mankind, yet so much ignorance of the truth of the answers to life’s BIG questions? The answer to these questions and many others concerning the end of the world are not found in the writings of Nostradamus, Edgar Cayce, or any other self-professed psychic. They can only be found in the Bible. The Book of Genesis teaches that God created the earth and everything in it to be perfect. However, the nature of the earth changed when Adam and Eve partook of the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden. This act prompted God to place a curse on the earth, and it radically transformed the nature of the earth itself.
Those who worry about the end of the world or live in fear of a great worldwide catastrophe are not living their lives in accordance with God. For God tells us to live boldly and without fear of the things of this world:
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.” 2 Timothy 1:7 (NLT)
“Do not fear anything except the Lord Almighty. He alone is the Holy One. If you fear him, you need fear nothing else.” Isaiah 8:13 (NLT)
For Judas, truth did not matter at all, money did. He loved money more than he loved Jesus. Judas believed that the world he lived in offered him more than what Jesus had to offer. He did not know nor did he understand the world he was living in. That’s not an excuse for his action, it is simply an honest evaluation of what influenced this man when making life-decision. The world we live in evaluates life-styles not based upon if it’s true or false, but rather by asking IS IT FAIR? How do you live? The World we live in has replaced Truth with fairness. The World we live in has replaced Truth with mysticism. Jesus prayed for unity among his true followers. Not between his followers and those who have replaced truth with fairness or truth with mysticism.
Why do Christians oppose other concepts of God, that are honored in other religions? Is Jesus Christ really God?
What is the reason for your faith? What is the source of your faith? Faith is nothing more and nothing less than absolute trust. And there is not a single human being on this planet that can demand such trust. No one but God himself is worthy of absolute trust. The reason for your faith must be GOD HIMSELF. FAITH IS A RESPONSE TO PROVEN TRUTH.
