A complete salvation 2: believe in God and have some basic knowledge

Dear All:

To continue the topics on A Complete Salvation:

2. One big rock that we need to move away from the exit of the spring and let the water of new life from Holy Spirit to flow is:

Does not really believe in Bible and is lack of basic knowledge of God.

We live in the age that people think they are full of knowledge. Like teenagers, we didn't recognize and worship our real parents -- God even as we used to do as a baby. We have better telescopes to peer deeper into the universe and in our ignorance, we even have a space in our mind for the non-sense of revolutionary theory. How can one receive the complete salvation with these weeds stuffed in brain? How can Holy Spirit dwell in one who doesn't even believe in Him?

The difficulty to know God is because He is the creator and we are the created. We don't know Him unless He reveals it to us. We cannot even fit Him in our head because He is infinite. The whole universe is created by Him and in Him.

"Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD. (JEREMIAH 23:24)

Our existence and every breath are because of Him.

"For in Him we live and move and have our beings." (ACTS 17:28)

"For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him." (COLOSSIANS 2:16)

The only way that we can know is though faith. That's why the whole Bible emphasizes the faith so much because that's the only way we know God.

God is the ultimate truth behind the whole universe -- visible or invisible. All the power, righteousness, Holiness, wisdom. love and goodness are from Him. If you have a dictionary, all the good and positive words starting from "life" cannot describe one out of a trillion of His goodness. All the bad and negative words starting from "death" describe the scenario that is away from God.

What we are looking for - eternal life, real happiness, joy and peace depend on being harmony with the absolute truth - God who is the real one we keep on looking for. We might not be able to think through and understand well all these concepts. But praises and thanks be to God, He grants his blessings as long as one believe Him through His son - Jesus Christ; whom we can see, know and understand.

"He (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God,..." (COLOSSIANS 2:15)

"No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made Him known." (JOHN 1:18)

"The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his beings, sustaining all things by his powerful word." (Hebrews 1:3)

God also know everything of us and every thought of us.

"'Am I only a God nearby,' declares the LORD, 'and not a God far away? Can anyone hide in secret places so that I cannot see him?' declares the LORD." (JEREMIAH 23:23-24)

According to some real near-death experience, every details after one was born including the motivations in one's mind will be judged after death.

"For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden things, whether it is good or evil." (ECCLESIASTES 12:14)

God bless all your journey to know Him

in Jesus
