Good Friday

“There is a God-shaped vacuum in the heart of each man which cannot be satisfied by any created thing but only by God the Creator, made known through Jesus Christ.” Pascal(yeah, the science guy)

Most people ask, if God is real, why doesn’t He stop evil? May be cause if He did. He’d start with you! Truth is, there is none good, not one(Romans 3:10) and you know that deep down in your heart!

To most people the existence of God is not a logical or evidence based denial but a moral one. (There is plenty of evidence for, Christianity isn’t a blind faith, but that’s not what I want to talk about today). Most people hate God cause He doesn’t conform to their liking.

Could God have created a world without evil, of course He could, He’s GOD! To think about if that would be without logically possible without affecting your free will, you decide! How would you know the difference in good and bad if there wasn’t an Absolute standard of morality (God)? Moreover, you already know what’s good & bad and He is offering you the Best. Now you ask what is that? God Himself! To spend eternity in the presence of God Himself.

The human justice system works in a way which leads to criminals facing consequences for their crimes(this generation would understand better, cause there’s so many SJWs{Social Justice Warriors} online & in real life)

Yes God is Love, but God is also Just. How can a God who is Holy let go of sin without a punishment? Ever think about all the evil deeds done from the beginning of time to the end that have gone unpunished? God knows every small one of them & He’s being a Righteous and Just God had a way to punish all those acts of unrighteousness from even before time began!

That is why God sent His only begotten Son – Jesus, who led a sinless life, to pay the price for all our sins. Christ humbled Himself and became obedient unto death. He Loves you. Wouldn’t you consider someone giving up their life to save you as one of the greatest form of love? Now imagine God sending His Son to pay the price for your sins so that you may enjoy eternal life in the presence of God Himself!

The good news of the Gospel is that of eternal life in the presence of God Himself. The good news is that of ‘Grace’, it is a free gift, and you cannot earn your way to heaven(so that you do not boast as it is contrary to God’s nature. ‘God resists the proud but gives Grace to the humble’ – James 4:6), the redemptive work has already been done by Jesus Christ. It is unparalleled to any system that talks about working your way to God, rather God has already done the work for us, all we have to do is repent & believe! “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” – Romans 6:23
