Thought of Eternity

When God made man, by default, man was meant to live forever. God did not create man to have a terminal year. Man was meant to live eternally like God on earth. He told them be fruitful and multiple in fact he told them to subdue the earth. [Gen 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.]

God gave to man a heart that could beat forever. But unfortunately our first parent disobeyed God by eating the fruit of the tree he had forbidden them.

This lead to man having a terminal year. He would have allow man to live forever but he did not create man with the capability to contain evil not even the Angels could contain evil only God has that power. [Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.]

[Isa 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.]

 Now imagine if man could live forever in that state of evil inclination. Even with the short years that God had left us with, we hardly love each other.

Though we now live a terminal year, that is, immortality has be taken from us yet there is but one thing God did not take away the Thought of Immortality, The Thought of Living Forever. It is engraved deep in the untouchable part of our heart. Believers and unbeliever think about this.

I am not surprise that the people who live in the remote part of the world where there is no civilization and no knowledge of Christ Jesus believes that there is life after death. They even believe the dead are alive and watching over them. Where do you think this thought come from?

Jazzy sang a song ‘forever young’. Let us not be mistaken he speaks for us all. He spoke the yearning of all human. Even though he himself is not on the right path of righteousness, we cannot ignore the fact that we know what he is talking about. What do you think will drive man to spend all he has to look young, to save his image, to continue living? Man can only try, God’s word remain the same.

David in all his glory knew he cannot live forever on earth that is why he prayed [Ps 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.] Man understood by reason of sin, that life his short lived but there is more to life that he cannot comprehend.

 

Glory be to Jesus for he has reconcile us back to God. All that we have lost to sin he came to recover and has recovered all. The relationship that was lost, he has restored. The immortality that was taken away he has given it back to us  [2Tim 1:10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:]

[John 10:10 ……….I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.]

 

If you are one of those with this thought, today I’ll tell you the truth. You can sleep and wake up morning and night with this thought, it will never change anything. The only one who can give you the immortality your soul yearn for is Jesus. [John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.]

 

All you need is to accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour.

Matt 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

John 8:12…… I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

 

John 8:31……If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

 Amen.
