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.
