KNOW GOD FOR YOURSELF

The best sacrifice anyone can ever give for another person is to give up their lives for them. It’s easy to say we love people. It’s easy to think we love people until we see some side of them and we realize we might actually not really love them. Or we actually don’t love them. When it comes to the love a creator shows for his creature, it’s something most people won’t understand. They show so much care, attention and protection towards them and they will do everything they can to keep them safe.

Let’s take for example the things we as humans create. We always feel all defensive when we have people trying to go against the things we have created. Or we don’t like it when what we have created goes against our will - the purpose for which we’ve created it. We always like it when what we have created does the things we have created them for. We get all protective and defensive of them when someone tries to do harm to them. We can even go as far as wanting to give ourselves just to protect them and I’m not surprised at that at all. This is one of the fingerprints that God has left in us.

Yes, you might not believe in God. You probably think you exist on your own or some science brought you forth or something else but I put it to you that there is indeed a God. How do I know this? Outside his words that he has left for us - the Holy Bible, his hands is in everything he has created (the world and everything in it and beyond). There are so many things that science is yet to proof and that’s because God has left his fingerprints there for those that will seek to know him. Some things are just so unexplainable to us and that’s because there is someone beyond humans that has made it so.

Just like a clay can’t tell the potter how it wants to be shaped, so it is with God. He created us and it’s just funny how it seems like we want to always tell him what to do. We want him to be answerable to us. How is that even possible? Right from when this world existed, God has had it in mind to make us like he is and he even created us in his own image and likeness. He loves us so much that even when we do the things he asked us not to do, he still allowed his son to come and die for us. And right on the cross when his son was carrying the sin of the whole world, he had to forsake him because God does not make compromises. He is Just and Holy, which his son was not at the cross where he beared the sin of the world and that explains why he had to turn his face away from him.

This is to tell us just how much God hates sin which is the only one thing he despises. But because we lack the understanding of who he is, we don’t even believe who he is in the first place and we just do things the way we want and neglect those markers that points to him and those that tell us that he exists and chose to believe whatever or not even believe in anything at all. You don’t exist by chance. Some people probably just know that there is something bigger than them but they prefer to just stay the way they are. Well, if you are that person, I believe you are wise and you can use that wisdom to search for that true God because there is One. Remember, his footprints are in the things he has created. Even if you don’t see them, you hear of them.

If par adventure you never knew God exists, today you now know and my advise to you is for you to use the wisdom you have to search for him because when we all die, we will have a lot of answering to do. He left those footprints so we could find him, not for decorations. And one of the major footprints that really points to him is his son Jesus Christ. He came to this earth in the flesh, he lived among us. He was killed and on the third day after he was buried, he resurrected to prove to us that he was indeed God. So you can as well start checking for proof if indeed a man like Christ ever walked the earth and did all these things I have said. Because he was bold enough to say he is the way, the truth and the life and no one can go to the father without going through him.

I’m sacrificing this post here because it is all about the greatest sacrifice that man can ever know. A creator becoming a creation just to die for his creation. This is also the height of love that a man can ever show to his friends.

Thank you for reading through. ā¤ļø

I've always struggled with the idea of God in the way that is portrayed in the bible.

Creator? Maybe I'm shifting towards that theory now because all science and spirituality points to there (for me) being some form of creation process.

I struggle to believe our bodies were good random sparking and evolutionally over millions of years making life as we know it -- we're too complex.

It points to creator in my mind, however God in the bible? I'm not a believer in that.

I do believe in love though -- love creates. And when we love things we are happy to let them make their own mistakes so that they learn from the process.

Is my opinion anyway :)

Yeah, the human body is one of those things that points to God too. The baby in his or her mother’s womb- that is just magnificent.

I’m not sure why you don’t believe the God in the Bible but that should be a drive for you to want to know him better. Why? Because God is love and if you believe in love then you only need more understanding of it. And that’s why love doesn’t make sense to a lot of us. We think love is that strong feeling we have for someone or something but I’m sure you know that’s not what love is and sometimes people even say it ā€œtrue love does not exist ā€œ. That is because love is way beyond that feeling. It is in the forgiveness when it’s hard, the kindness when you have the right to be hostile, the humility when you should be proud, the corrections when it’s better to mind your business and more.

Like I said a lot of times in my post, he left his fingerprints and footprints because he wants us to know him. Personally, when I look at how Christianity is practiced in the world today, it’s more than enough for anyone to not believe in God. But thanks to the Bible, I could study for myself. If I had relied on man to tell me what the Bible says, I wouldn’t have chosen this religion because they can be really biased.

With all that said, I’m glad you read through and thank you so much for your comment, Ray. ā¤ļø

This is a very nice write up...
Many times in our lives, we feel and know the success and wins we have is not by our doing.. ThankGod for God and for his love.
We humans should do better by recognizing the fact that there's a greater power and being that overseas our businesses. Without him all lives will be lost and despite our disobedience and ignorance, he still keeps us and looks over us..

Anyways I'm back now and thank you for gracing me with such and interesting write up.. 🄰
