I guess everyone’s questioned at times why man is here, and for what purpose. Always searching for ways, to live their life to the fullest. It seems folks spend large sums of money, and numerous hours, searching for ways to halt the ageing process. I am reminded of the words God spoke to Adam, “From dust thou was taken, and to dust thou shall return.” What one must realize, is only the outer flesh was taken from dust. The Spirit, and Soul, belongs to God, and will return to Him.
Why is there such misery concerning death? It is the fear of the unknown. What is going to happen after you take that last breath. Lets go back to the womb. You were alive and active before there was a heart beat, or before your lungs drew a breath. As a single cell you were alive and evidently destined (preordained) to be a winner. You are the one that made it to the egg, out of the millions of other sperm trying to reach the same place. Be of a good heart, I bring good news your way. God knew your substance then and a record was made of them in His book Psalm 139: 14-16 “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest pats of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.”
We also read in Jeremiah 1: 5 “Before I formed thee in the belly (womb) I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.”
Lets look in Ephesians 1: 3-4 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, That we should be holy and without blame before him in love. We also read in Ezekiel 18: 4 “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.”
We know all have sinned, also all in Adam died.(stop living) Now the question is Who are you? Are you in the Adam, or are you a new creature created in Christ Jesus, chosen in Him before the foundation of the world?
Paul made the statement “I live yet not I but Christ” We may also live according to this rule. The life I live, I live by the faith of the Son of God. For my life is hid in Christ in God. Yes even before the foundation of the world we were chosen in Christ. Father knew you, and you are a part of His plan of the ages. He chose the time, and day, of your birth. He was with you in the forming of all your substance. He blessed you in heavenly places before the foundation of the world. You couldn’t receive a blessing from Him if you weren’t there. So why are we here? It is not to do our own will. I realize there are those who teach, God gave us a free will to choose if we were, or were not, going to accept Him.
Life neither begins, or ends, by choice and free will. As stated above, He knew and chose you, before the foundation of the world. You had nothing to do with your birth. You didn’t chose when, or where, you would be born, who your siblings would be, or who you parents would be. You had no choice, in what country you would be birthed. Father God had a plan for your life, and He brought you forth at his choosing. He ordained your path according too His plan not your will.
I am always encouraged when I consider the Scripture in Genesis. “In the beginning God” What beginning was this referring, evidently it was bringing out of Himself the visible matter, changing it from the unseen in Him. to the seen. Why would He do this? His plan was to bring forth a world for man, which would also come forth from His substance. Are you following this? All things came forth out of God. All things are eternal. When we say this, we are saying the substance, from which all things originated is eternal (I AM, ALL IN ALL.) All things will be changed, a new Heaven, and a New earth, with the one new man to possess them. The finished work of the Father. “And God saw every thing that he had made, and behold, it was very good.” He was looking down through the ages seeing the completeness of His creation. Every thing that he had made, tell me what is it that He didn’t make? All the modern technology of this present day was not mentioned in the beginning, however God was saying, every thing he made was very good.
So in fact it was all completed and finished, He was seeing the one new man which came forth, This new man full of light, and truth, filled with all the fullness of I AM. Who is this? The man the whole creation is waiting for. The manifested Son’s of God. The fullness of God manifested in a body of Son’s.
Let every thing that has breath praise the Lord.
