... Thought and feeling communion with God ...

To think is like to dug a well : first the water is trouble,
then it becomes clear
( Chinese Proverb )

 

As for me, I believe to understand, not the opposite
( Saint Anselme )

1- HUMANITY ( THE HUMAN NATURE ) :

Who is me ? Who are us ? How are us ?
We live in a corrupted world, where transgressions and iniquity rule the earth. We have much weakness : we steal or we lie or we kill or we envy someone. Most of times we are slaves of our sins. It's our nature. We are men and women.

Yes, it's written that : " There is no one who is righteous ! " ( Romans 3 : 10 )



2- THE SOLUTION :

There is only ... one solution ! Not to improve the situation, but to transform this world in a place where Peace and Happiness rule, where Joy and Love rule. The solution is easy but it's a radical solution. A lot of people can warrant you this solution, and I can warrant it too. This is the solution :

" If the thief comes only in order to steal, kill, and destroy. I have come in order that you might have life : life in all its fullness " said the Son of God : Jesus Christ ( John 10 : 10 ). God, the Lord has sent us is own dear Son Jesus Christ ( Matthew 3 : 17 ), so we will have life and life in all its fullness with Him.

 

3- BUT SOLUTION IS NOT ENOUGH :

Yes solution is not enough because a solution is just an idea. And an idea is nothing. We have to practise it. We have to believe in Jesus Christ, to believe that God has sent Him to save our world, to save us from our sins. We have to believe in Him and to be in contact with Him, not by a phone but by the prayer. Don't forget that this solution is ... unique.

" Jesus answered us : I am the way, the truth, and the life ; no one goes to the Father except by Me " ( John : the Good News of Love 14 : 6 ).

 

4- CONCLUSION :

This is the truth. You have to think about. Then you must take your decision. You are free, everyone is free. But don't forget that you have to clasp an occasion. So, take care !


 

 

- SUMMARY of salvation -

Let’s summarize with Romans 6 : 23

" For sin pays its wage-death ; but God’s free gift is eternal life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord ".

We have first to recognize how great is our sin ; each sin of us ( thought, speech, act ) carry us into death = to be separated with God. BUT God gives us eternal life, only by his divine grace. It’s a free gift. Eternal life = a life in union with God, in the Paradise. In union with Christ Jesus = the Messiah whose mission was to die on the cross to save us from our perdition ; so that everyone who believes in Him may not die but have eternal life ( John 3 : 16 ). Jesus is the perfect sacrifice that God has choosen.

The ritual sacrifice of the Old Testament was substituted in Christ Jesus who is “ the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world ! “ ( John 1 : 29 ). So Jesus Christ drives us in the way which will conciliate us again with God = to reinstate our relation with God. To believe on the death of Jesus on the cross as the complete sacrifice is the only way of salvation, the only way draw by the Bible.

- A story about Eternal Life ( Christian Thought ) -

Two men was died for me
In a violent storm, a boat began to founder in a crash into a rock. This place was not far from the coast. We sent S.O.S. So brave fishermen took their canoes and began to rescue us. They began to rescue children and women.

Then brave fishermen came again to rescue the next people. Our boat continued to founder. The third canoes trip would be probably the last. I understood that I would be with those who could not be rescue. I thought just one moment that I probably would see God with all my sins.

One of my friend who has often talk me about Jesus Christ was too in the broken boat. His name is Jack. He stood beside me without talking. The brave fishermen came again for the last trip. I was not on the list. My friend Jack was on this list. But he did not go, he pushed me forward and said : " Go instead of me ! I give you appointment in paradise ! You are not ready to die ! ". I did not accept, but the other people pushed me with them.

We did not see the damaged boat one moment after. After that I was convinced that I have to know about Jack's God. I bought a Good News ( a Bible ) and I began to read it. When I arrived at the page of the crucifixion ( Matthew 27 : 27 - ... ), I said : " Jack was died to give me more days-life, but Jesus was died to give me eternal life ! "
