But please look at what human beings have done. After God created man, he placed him in the beautiful Garden of Eden, telling people that all the fruits in the garden can be eaten, except the fruit of the tree of good and evil. He clearly told them that they would die if they ate it that day. But Eve, the mother of mankind, was tempted by the devil and doubted the word of God. The devil asked her through the snake, "Did God really say that eating that fruit would definitely kill you?" So Eve became suspicious. She broke her promise with God, ate it and gave it back to her husband Adam. But when God asked Adam why he ate the fruit from the tree, Adam's answer was very rebellious. He said to God, "The woman you made let me eat." The guilt of shirking responsibility has been inherited by human beings since then, so people today are not like this. When they made any mistakes, their first reaction was to pass the buck.
All human sins and things that violate morality and ethics come from the heart (Kyle 7: 2 1-23). And the emptiness of the human heart leads to all crimes. Because people are greedy for fame and fortune, some are conceited, some are stealing and killing, some are gambling and whoring, some are competitive, some are evil, some are wanton and so on. As a result, people's hearts have fallen, life has been corrupted, and the spread of inferiority has been submerged. All this is due to the emptiness of people's hearts, which makes people unable to understand the direction of accepting the truth, produces the motivation of self-pursuit and self-reinforcement, and leads to bad consequences. Jesus said, "The eyes are the lamp of the body. If they are dim, the whole body will be dark. If they are bright, the whole body will be bright "(Matt. 6: 22-23). He also said, "Anyone who lusts after a woman has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matthew. 5: 27-28). Why do you have an abnormal motivation to do something contrary to the routine (Chuang 1: 26-27) given by God, and lose the image and style created by God? This leads to all kinds of crimes in operation? To violate God's sovereign management and God's righteous Lord? This is a question that everyone should ponder deeply.
God's sovereignty is dominated by justice and faithfulness, and it is an inspiration to mankind (about 1: 1: 9).
God created everything and arranged to hand it over to God to manage and judge everything. Any living thing must be managed and arranged under the sovereignty of God. But man has a soul, which is different from animals and plants because of Adam's sin (Jeremiah 17: 9). He is not only clever, but also violates the order convention given by God. As a result, all kinds of false crimes occurred. 1: 18- 19). Form a kind of "lack of the glory of God (when he created man)" (Luo. 3: 23, one. 4.11). When Lucifer committed a crime in his heart, he fought against it and fought for the sovereignty of God, but God did not tolerate it. 14: 12-66) When Adam was created, God blew air into his nostrils (Gen 2: 7), which gave him "the right to obey and the ability to distinguish under the control of God" (Gen 2: 15- 17). Adam loved his wife too much (Chuang18,23) and ate the "fruit of the tree of distinguishing good from evil" given by Eve (Eve was tempted by the devil) (2 Cor. 1 1: 3). When God looked for him, he turned the right of obedience given by God into "self-sovereignty", from God's help to women (Gen 2: 18) to "give it to me" (Gen 3: 12). From this point of view, the emptiness of human heart is a disgusting change from obedience to "self", which leads to forgetting God (the dignity and sovereignty of God) (Ps. 9: 17). Oppose God (Jude 15) and not be afraid of God (Luo. 3: 10- 18), anti-god (16: 16, Lai 3: 12) and unbelieving nausea.
Therefore, God is still in charge of everything with his righteousness, and through the prophet's prophecy about the Messiah, let mankind know and understand that God is just and faithful, and through Jesus, make mankind accept God's management arrangements, get rid of curses and punishments (about 3: 16,18,36), and get rid of superstitious religions and self-deception in the world.
Only when people's hearts are satisfied can people return to the original sovereignty of God and man, and they will not perish or commit crimes. When people are sought by God and return to Christ, it is God who seeks people and gives them confidence. This faith is the light of the Holy Spirit in people's hearts (Cor. 1. 12: 3, after the forest 2. 4: 4-6). It is light (referring to Jesus) that accepts darkness (about 8:12); And darkness does not accept light (about 1: 4-5).
When people's hearts are illuminated, with the entrance of Shinto and truth, people's hearts are dominated by God's justice, and this person's mind is satisfied. The traditional saying is: "People who commit crimes outside can't be saved." "They must do well outside, or have a good influence." Hang it all, what is the fundamental reason for being good? The root of salvation is that God is looking for someone? Or do things by hand? (ROM。 8: 28-30, Titian 1: 9- 10). So, believe it or not, if you try your best to do it on the outside and concentrate on it, you can't get satisfaction and rest in your heart (Matt. 1 1: 29).
When people get upset, they automatically play their instincts? Religious desire (the desire to pursue worship), some believe in Buddhism, some believe in Taoism (in the fantasy of fairy tales waiting for immortality), some go to heaven, and some have stomachs; Some for money, some for fame, some for profit, some for getting well, some for children, some for living a long life, some for family peace and happiness, some for future generations and so on. It's all just like (Ecclesiastes 1: 8): "I don't see enough, I don't hear enough." Not only can't you satisfy your inner emptiness, the harder you use your hands, the more emptiness and corruption you get inside. This situation in the world is due to the lack of the gospel of Christ or unbelief in the gospel, and is blinded by the God of the world (the above pursuit) (2 Cor. 4: 4).
People who believe today are all guilty, or often weak in appearance, which is caused by half, half or part of the emptiness inside. These emptiness are manifested in disobedience to God's just sovereign management. They are real, complete, real, and so on. Reason:
(1) The attitude of listening to and learning the Tao is wrong (most people think that preaching and learning the Tao is aimed at someone, or learning the Bible and telling it to someone).
2. After listening to the Tao, there is no principle of reflection, thinking and not combining with self.
(3). Without the lessons of pure truth, sovereignty is upside down.
(4) self-invention, research, imagination or the results of discussion, summary and arrangement by several people or driven by experience, miracles and wonders.
5. Relying on one's own world intelligence, social culture, science, and belief, the "humanism" thoughts such as spontaneous spirit and self-editing truth have emerged.
Therefore, there are these incompatible humanistic ideologies, which can't make up for the remaining emptiness in mind and appearance. In order to truly reveal and live Christ, there must be an inner truth, and the purpose of all inner truths is to manage and guide God's righteousness in life. When it comes to understanding God's righteousness through Jesus. Bring people back to God's sovereignty through truth and truth. Man's life rationality can only be satisfied if he returns to the truth and completely obeys God's sovereign management, which is the main body of God's creation (Rom. 1 1: 36). Christ appeared outside.
The world should be alert and understand that the hope of life is today's life satisfaction. Jesus said, "He who believes in the Son has eternal life, but he who does not believe in the Son cannot live forever, and God's wrath is always on him" (John 3: 36). When people in the world are dying, they are crying in despair: "This is the end! Never meet again! " These unbelievers know for themselves that the dead will never see each other again. Will not come back to life, or even see each other again, so there is a cry of death. But the wonderful thing is that when people really die, even after eating and drinking, they will say, "If people say no, they will be gone. Let's eat today while we can still eat. " Drink if you can "(Cor. 15: 32). It's incredible.
Why doesn't the world get up and pursue the place of life? Why not think about what the hope of life is? Why does the life of unbelievers remain empty after they have gained fame and fortune? Why only seek the temporality of the world, not the eternity of the future? Why are you surprised and slandered when you see the change of Christians (1 Peter 4: 3-4)? The reason is:
(1). I didn't know that God created, arranged, managed, blessed and judged the world in the future.
I don't know that man is a creature, although he lives and survives under God's rules. But I don't know god (Luo. 1: 2 1).
I don't know whether the contest in my heart is right or wrong, but the conscience God gave me in life is at work (Rom. 2: 15- 16).
(4) It is not clear that people's thinking is judged by the management of God. For example, for a man-made project, the project should be constructed according to the drawings, and the designer is approved by the planning department, while the sovereignty of management planning is under the king, and the king's heart is in the hands of the Lord God (Pro 2 1: 1), and the king's god has the final say (but for this reason, believe in the Lord Jesus and be governed by God). Otherwise, the world is debauched and becomes empty in an instant (Sichuan 1: 14). If it is not God's arrangement, everyone's life in the rules of God's survival, will lose social development and personal meaningless survival, life will be slim and aimless.
Therefore, everyone should clearly know that the emptiness in life is caused by not being managed under the sovereignty of God. When human life is dominated by the sovereignty of God, it is meaningful and valuable. ? No matter how hard and tired the environment in the world is, it really feels valuable, meaningful, and has real peace and joy. People in the world, people and things, church and society, superiors and subordinates, good or bad, more or less, weak and strong, no matter what the circumstances, the value of life is strong, solid, stable, eternal, life, moral, personality, perfect and so on.
