" A better way to live"

    "A better way to live"

 Our TV news became  a series of bad accidents and  if we are  feeding only on them it is easy to feel hopeless. 
 How many times we hear about somebody's death ? There isn't even one day of  a tragic accident  happening somewhere in which  a person or group of people gets killed. When we hear about natural disasters like  an earthquake. or a flood which can kill thousands of people at once we are  terrified by the number of deaths. But imagine how many people live around the world today.  The number is estimated  for  7 billions of people  and, if  we  heard on the news that one billion died one day- these news would be terribly shocking to everybody.  But do we realize that in 100 years every person that is alive today will be  dead?  That  means the number of  7 billions of people. There  is nothing surprising  that everybody will die one day. Can we change anything about that? Yes we can when we realize that we are not  created to live for ourselves  but that there is a Creator  we are accountable to. God gave everything in His Son's hands and even the immortality is available to us in  Him. There is no miracle pill  for escaping death but  everlasting life with God. The choice belongs to us by whether we want to come to Him or not. Why not to trust Jesus who is promising  the way out?

Reading about Jesus' life we are witnessing great works God only is able to do. By Jesus' word everything was happening  what He wanted to happen.  Like God  who created the world by saying   'let  it be the sun' and the sun appeared. The miracles of creating  things  by the power of His word are manifestation of Jesus' divine nature. Who can bring the dead person to life if not God Himself? Jesus was the one who could say to the dead Lazarus  -come out! - and the Lazarus would come alive. By Jesus' word water turned into vine,  bread and fish was multiplied, the sea and the wind would calm down, the fig tree would dry out immediately, demons would run away, the paralyzed person would walk again, the blind one would regain his sight,  the sick would be healed.  Here we can see how easy God could create this world by the power of His word. The same way whatever is He promising in Jesus Christ to us, is real.
The things that God has for us are far above the things we can imagine in this world.. We are not created to just finish our life and die in our sin without any purpose of our earthly existence. You would say, ok, but I don't see God , I know nothing about Him.
 First of all the thing is that we can't 'sense' God unless we are born again spiritually.
Jesus said; " Most assuredly I say to you,unless one is born again, he can not see the Kingdom of God."
 John 3;3

 Our spiritual death is caused by our sinful nature that destroyed the connection with him. But God is more present in our lives than you can imagine. He provided the new  way  to Himself  through Jesus Christ.
The Son of God  was sent to us to restore  our lost relationship with God. If we believe in Him that He was sent by God and trust His words our spiritual eyes get open . Then  we  can call upon His name He will hear us and answer.
 Jesus was sent by God to die in your place so that we might have eternal life with Him.
He made Himself a sacrifice to God  so that we would have the  access to Him.   His words are full of promises  so that we could  hold on to them and have hope.
Jesus said; John 6;47
"Most assuredly I say to you, he who believes in Me, has everlasting life."  Jesus  becomes our 'bread from heaven'  v.48-51. " This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever and the bread that I shall give is my flesh, which I shall give for the life of the world."
 If you believe Jesus died for you, that's how He becomes  the bread that feeds your spirit. All His words are becoming spiritual  food to you and fill you with peace and new hope. Then you realize that life is more that you think, it is not only what you see with your eyes but also  what you can 'see' with your spirit.
Jesus said; " I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly." John 10;10

In Jesus we have eternal life because we have forgiveness of our sin. And the result  of that  we won't come into judgement.
Jesus said;" Most assuredly I say to you; he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me, has everlasting life and shall not come into judgement, but has passed from death to life."
There is another promise;
In  John 4;14  Jesus  talks about that your soul finds complete fulfillment;
 " Whoever  drinks of the water that I shall give him, will never thirst."
Walking with Jesus you start understanding what is the truth.
 "For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears my voice."   John 18;37
You can choose to believe and trust Jesus words and all His promises will  become real in your life. Or  you may choose to reject Him and by that you are  rejecting  His forgiveness and  everlasting life available for you . By rejecting Jesus you  choose  death and  judgement.

God gave up everything  to save you through His Son, who suffered for you  so  that you wouldn't have to go to hell.  That is a great work to be ignored.
