When God created the universe He established physical laws to govern His creation which are maintained by the Word of His power. These physical laws were discovered by scientists and they are constant, unchanging and essential for life. The best known of these physical laws are universal gravity, the laws of motion, the laws of thermodynamics and the laws of conservation of mass and energy. In the Bible God tells us about His spiritual laws, which are also constant, unchanging and essential for life. These spiritual laws apply to us here on earth while we occupy our physical bodies and are also applicable to the kingdom of God in heaven. The one spiritual law we must always keep at the forefront of our mind is, ” you reap what you sow.” In your mind it should always be there like a large flashing neon sign. Time after time in Bible stories you see this spiritual law fulfilled. When I look back on my life I can see the same thing.
God is holy and always does what is right, otherwise He wouldn’t be God. God can’t lie and God doesn’t change. A tenderhearted God loves us dearly but that won’t stop Him from dispensing perfect justice. God’s judgements are perfect and we’ll always get exactly what we deserve. That includes everyone who has ever lived. God doesn’t play favorites. The wages of sin is death. Since all men after Adam have sinned God’s perfect justice for us all would be eternal death in the lake of fire. It’s what we deserve. But God in His mercy and grace came up with a plan to save His beloved children while at the same time remaining a just God. God Himself came off His throne and came to earth in the flesh so that He could remove all our sins by dying on the cross in our place. It should’ve been us that had to die but God said “no”, let Me do it for you. All we have to do to have the gift of eternal life is call on the name of the Lord and believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior.
There was no other way for God to be who He is and still save us from damnation; because God will always be a just God. In Christ all our sins are washed away. Those who do not accept God’s mercy and grace must face God’s justice and give an account of their deeds in the flesh. Their sin remains on them no matter how good they think they are and their destiny is an eternity in the lake of fire where they will be in constant torment for eternity. I sure hope everyone accepts the precious gift of eternal life offered by Jesus while there is still time.
