God desires that mankind bask in the sunshine of His love here on earth and in Heaven, forever. Since God is a God of action, He sees a need, formulates a plan, and sends assistance, immediately. The children of God are his agents of change. Anyone who has read the Bible knows that God puts a high value on servanthood and showering love on his most precious creations, humans. The body of Christ must be committed to being like our heavenly Father. We are His eyes, hands and mouth. We see the problem. People are dying, spiritually and physically, because they do not honor God above all else. We can touch the people around us and pull a suffering world into an divine embrace that will literally heal all pain. We are the collective voice that will herald this one truth: The only two choices are life or death. God, in heaven, is life and Satan, the ruler of this world, is death. Humans are not the flesh and blood we see and touch every day. Each one of us is really the spirit, made in God's image, placed in the fragile vessel called a body. There are only two eternal destinations offered to this spirit: Heaven or Hell.
Christians have become too mealy mouthed. The Bible is clear. There is not one worthy human who has walked this earth, is walking this earth, or will walk this earth. Jesus excluded. Therefore, not one person should open her mouth in judgment of the person standing next to her. However, each person must open his mouth with the confession that Jesus is Lord; this means believing Jesus was raised on the third day. This is the one and ONLY way a sinful human can be reconciled to God. The free gift of the remission of sins opens up the floodgates of blessings that cannot be contained. Joy in the midst of adversity is a constant companion. Peace in the middle of the worst battle is a given. And, there is always hope. This would be enough, but God who lives by the motto of "above and beyond" offers one last gift. He extends an invitation to spend an eternity with him.
God is a God of justice. He makes it easy to win and hard to lose, but He values free will to the utmost. God will allow the ones He adores to go Hell if they ignore his clear warnings and make the ultimate poor choice by rejecting His free gift of salvation. The Bible is a testament to the fact that he does not want anyone to suffer unspeakable horror on this earth only to face an eternity of unimaginable torture in Hell. I will not join the debate about the existence of Heaven and Hell. One must read the Bible and pray to receive revelation.
