Despite this Man also commits the mistake of limiting the Lord God by knowledge, information, space and laws of Science and Nature. These efforts go in vain, because it is written in the word of God in Book of Genesis Chapter 1: verse 1 “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Let us meditate on this verse, beginning (time) God created the Heaven (Space) and Earth (Matter), so we have 3 fundamental things which are base of today’s rapid and significant development of science and information technology i.e. Time, Space and Matter. Entire Mankind cannot be Logical with Most High of High, the Holy of Holy and the Great I AM i.e. Lord GOD. It is foolishness, stupidity to confine and limit the Lord GOD. So now one thing is crystal clear that we cannot be logical with GOD, then how we can obtain MERIT from God?
The answer or the remedy is given only in the HOLY BIBLE in the
Book of Colossians chapter 2 verse 3: “In whom (JESUS CHRIST) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” And further in
verses 8,9,10 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him (JESUS CHRIST) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power”. Because our salvation is not through merit but by grace received ONLY through JESUS CHRIST, further explained in the same
Chapter 2 of Colossians verses 12 to 19 “Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead. And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; And having spoiled principalities and powers, He (JESUS CHRIST) made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it. Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God." SO DECIDE TODAY,
GRACE or MERIT in LIFE?By: Dr. Shine David
