Earth the Land of Plenty of Time or Not

Michael D. Rourke Events 0 0

From the love of God He put His plans into motion by creating earth from nothing in the darkness. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2- The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.

Our eternal Creator made time for His creation when he created the sun. 3- Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.4- And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided the light from the darkness.

Verse 5- God called the light of Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

Then God designed and filled the earth with water, land, grass, herbs, seeds and His living creatures that swim, walk, creep and fly. And then the Holy Trinity made man.

Verse 26- Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth”

Verse 27- So God created man in His own image; in the image of God created him; male and female He created them.

Verse 28- Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”

Verse 31- Then God saw everything that He made, and indeed it was very good.

 

It has been about six or seven thousand years since God created the earth, time, man and woman to subdue it and have dominion over it.

God has given people His holy and beautiful Bible scriptures to lovingly communicate, guide and grow our love for Him and His for us. 

God lovingly gave His Son to be a sacrifice to pay for the sin’s of those who believe in Jesus in faith. And the Holy Spirit resides in true believers teaching them. 

Have men and women sought after God to love Him? Have people honored God by reading and obeying the teachings and precepts of the Bible ?

How much longer will it be until Jesus returns for His followers?

Earth and time are but the threshold before eternity. How much longer before Judgment day ? Is earth the land of plenty of time or not? 

 

Instead of a human race that recognizes God as their Creator and honor Him in their efforts of living, the earth is filled with people that distain, ignore and deny Jesus.

Human beings have exalted their own intelligence and knowledge with their own achievements in science and technology.

The blind opposition toward God as the Creator and we humans as His creatures is driving this earth into destruction as we continue to ignore Him at an alarming rate.

 

There is only one hope that goes beyond the life and death of each individual on this planet. That is the faith and the hope we have to in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:8-10 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

1 Timothy 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the command of God our Savior and the Lord Jesus Christ, our hope,

Jesus came and took our penalty for our sins, suffered, died and rose. He is our hope He will return.

 

As the world nears the end of another year it’s easy to see the increase of evil. We see the legalization of more  sins, hatred and killing in more  wars, and panic near the edge of escalating from the fear of disease. 

Still, there those who are seeking the Lord Jesus as their Savior and hope. Christian do not need to wonder why God is allowing chaos to increase. God hates sin. 

God uses calamity, distress, pain and whatever means to awaken souls and draw them to Himself as seen throughout the Bible (Matthew 9:18-30).   

Christians should be sharpening their personal testimony with regards to how the gospel message of saving faith in Jesus Christ alone, which has changed their obedient lives.

The grace of God is working around the world to save believing souls from hell fire and shining His light of love through their faith in Christ.

 

We who love the Lord are ambassadors of the gospel message and need to be ready to relate our hope to those who are confused by the chaos. Be strong and courageous.

Proverbs 23:17-18 Do not let your heart envy sinners, But be zealous for the fear of the LORD all the day; For surely there is a hereafter, And your hope will not be cut off.

Galatians 4:18 But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you.

Titus 2: 11-15 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works. Speak these things, exhort and rebuke with all authority. Let no one despise you.

 

Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants- things which must shortly take place.

Revelation 1:11 … “I am the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, and, What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches…”

Revelation 3:19-22 “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

Verse 20- Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

Verse 21- To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Verse 22- He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

The highest honor a person can have is to be called a child of God, a brother or sister to the Lord Jesus and a friend of the Holy Spirit.
