Revelation 21:5
5 Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.
Any person born into this world can be compared to the earth as it was mentioned in the Book of Genesis chapter one and verse two.
Genesis 1:2
2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.
Just because we are born as human beings, does not mean that we understand who God is. This is the greatest problem of this world. People think that they know who God is. Take for example Hinduism. No one knows who wrote their books. As for as their traditions no one knows how they came into existence. The Hindus think that cracking several coconuts pleases their gods. Or pouring milk on the idols, men feel that their gods will be pleased. When people offer flowers or petals and burn incense to their gods the men think that it makes those idols happy. They consider the river Ganges to be flowing out of one of their gods and other rivers as well in India.
What about Muslims? According to the five pillars of Muslim faith, one has to do the Hajj pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. Otherwise there is no forgiveness of their sins. When they pray they have to pray facing towards Mecca. Otherwise their god does not hear their prayers.
These are just some of the examples of the thousands of the religions out there. Catholics for example call themselves as RC’s or Roman Catholics. They venerate so many saints. Catholics are free to pray to any so called saint to carry their prayers to God. They need a bit of recommendation from these saints. These people simply do not have any understanding of the Holiness of God. Neither do they understand the finished work of Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. The Pope thinks that he is the direct representative of God and a direct descendent of Apostle Peter. So, normal people cannot approach God through Christ but only through Bishops and Cardinals and perhaps through Mary and other saints.
All of the above mentioned religions have one thing in common. They are only able to worship what they are seeing with their naked eyes. Because of man’s depravity, they have no ability to understand the Holiness of God. These people’s spiritual eyes are blinded by God so that they don’t understand the things of God. Holiness of God is not something we can see. There’s a gulf between man and God because of man’s inability to know God. Man will never be able to know who God is unless God Himself draws near to that person. Otherwise man will continue with his lies in creating false gods.
When we watch the documentaries about how the earth was formed or how the universe was formed these so called scientists will settle on anything but God. With defiance they will absolutely lie about the creation of the Universe by God. According to the US Geological Survey, there are over three million rivers in the world. According to the Hindus if river Ganges is flowing out of one their gods, what about the rest of the millions of rivers in the world? Think about it! What about the seas that are covering three fourths of the earth? Who setup the barriers of the sea? It is God who created the heavens and the earth. God is not regional to a country or a state. There’s only one God who created all the rivers, seas and everything else. Everything on this earth, above the earth and under the earth was created by God through His Son Lord Jesus Christ.
Any man who does not believe in Jesus Christ does not have the ability to know God the Father. No one can change this order because it is ordained by God in this manner. Man does not have any chance to prosper spiritually if he does not know how to honor God through His Son Lord Jesus Christ.
For anyone to reject the Son of God willfully will be the most foolish thing to do on this earth.
Romans 10:9
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
In Jesus precious name! Amen.
Maranatha!
