So today's family fellowship talked about 新造的人.
When was the transition from knowing about God to knowing God?
I can't pinpoint a specific when.
I was a dumb kid, not thinking for myself just thinking what i can do so that others would accept me.
I wanted other peoples' attention but i got none.
So i turned to game consoles, playstation, gameboy, psp, you name it.
I found my sanctuary in games.
It made me feel satisfied.
All till i really paid attention to the Bible.
Everything had to come from somewhere.
What i believe is, God created everything.
If there is no God, how can something become something from nothing?
There needs to be a higher power involved.
And the one true God that i believe in, is merciful enough to give anyone salvation as long as you believe in Him.
That is the easy first step.
Other religions believe in good works, but knowing how sinful i am, there's nothing good that will come out of me.
When i come to realise that, some other religions dont apply to me anymore.
Because if i'm never able to do good, then in the eyes of those religions, i'll never be saved.
But God gives salvation to anyone who seeks Him.
So that reconciles a lot of things.
God wants to give, but only to those who seeks.
I admit i'm still pretty dumb.
But not dumb enough to do something that doesn't support what i really believe in.
There are many odds against the existence of God, and that's what faith is all about.
Believing in a Living God that i can't see.
Although i can't see. there's the Bible which contains His Word.
And last year, i did something so terribly heartaching to me for the glory of God.
This is how real God is to me.
I gave up something that i could see, feel and love, all for the sake of obeying His commandments.
The commandments of a God that i couldn't see.
I'm still that stupid kid that nothing good can about come out of.
But i think through this stupid kid, God has His plans to make His Glory be known.
He died on the cross 2 millenniums ago, so that a stupid boy like me can be saved.
How incredibly amazing is that?
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
