this is a bit long philosophical question so feel free to bail
Now
( legal disclaimer )
but if you don’t bail I think it’s worth taking 3-5 minutes to read and maybe just consider for a moment of you can find the point of relation to the Bible Or more specifically the gospel
let’s say you were homeless and in great need . Let’s say you had no one to help and could see no hope ahead. And let’s say in your heart as you had time to reflect on your own actions in life , you realize a lot of this was on you and you feel it at the time in your low point here . A sorrow of what could have been of your life if you yourself had done things differently .
if someone you loved and trusted like your dad , wrote you a letter and said
“my dearest child I love you , I know you are a grown up and have your own life now but the choices you’ve made have led you here . You have seemed so far away from me for so long.and I heard from someone you were in need
if you will listen to the wisdom I have for you , and come home to me as I’m calling you to do I have a billion dollars you can freely use and spend , more than that I have a mansion prepared for you and your family to live rent free as long as you wish all your life it’s yours freely I give you these things .
I’m doing this because I love you so much that I would willingly die for you to come home and be with me again like when you were a child when you believed everything I said to you , you learned from me and listened to me .
when I warned you or raised
My voice you Heeded me out of reverent fear , Never afraid but always knew when I spoke , you were to hear what I am saying and more than that you knew I would never lead you to harm .
When you wanted my approval , when you depended on me for everything .
I just want you home and I want you to hear my words because I know you through and through , I’ve always been with you from your birth I raised you , fed you and clothed you you are of my own flesh and blood you are my dearest love come home and be with me and have all you need or want forever free of charge .
But you can’t keep living the way you are living or you will again find yourself far away and lost , because you are My son , you are free to come and go but if you don’t listen to me you will stray again but I’m always here come home hear my call.”
That’s pretty long and there’s a lot there , huh ? If that’s what’s written in my Silly philosophical question there could anyone really understand what’s there in that offer of all they would hear is this ?
“I have a billion dollars you can freely use and spend , more than that I have a mansion prepared for you and your family to live rent free”
without Christ we’re all spiritually homeless and no one else can help us . please accept this as just something to ponder in your heart and not in any way an argument .
God loves you for certain
“Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.”
1 John 3:16-18 KJV
