Word or words…

The world is full of questions, people wonder why…
Why is there suffering, why death and murder? How can a God allow killing, why did He kill?
These questions have always come my way by people as soon as they heard or noticed that I was a Christian. I have even questioned and doubted God’s capability myself by wondering why He couldn’t fix things the way I thought they should be fixed…
Working at the Noah’s Ark in Holland, these questions are regularly coming my way, sometimes it’s a daily matter.
Also sinds working there I have come to see and simply know that the answer is very, very simple…
- Not to accept, that’s not simple for our human thinking!
But the facts are very simple and logical and there ARE answers for any question we may have!
And the very simple way to find answers for our questions is to go back to the ORIGIN!!!!!!!
Why is there death and suffering? – Go back to the origin of it! Where did death and suffering start?
How can a loving God allow death? – Go back to the origin! He made us to LIVE and live in a perfect environment with the right climate, nice animals, plenty of fruit and food to enjoy, it was called paradise…………… Does God kill because He likes to do that to what He once made as something perfect? Doesn’t sound like the same person to me…….
God wants paradise for us still, and that’s why He must destroy anything that gets in the way of that perfectness. Now where did imperfection come from? From God or maybe, just maybe… from US??????
WE have ALL sinned and come short of the glory of God! It was not HIM who “came short”!!!!
But even when WE have ALL sinned….. HE….again….. took care of creating paradise for us……
Paradise for us? In this terrible world? Yes! He took care of that “paradise” by making peace available through His Son Jesus Christ who was willing to be killed for OUR SIN – which caused death and suffering- and make peace for lost sinners to become new creatures made free from sin so we could fit into God’s perfect idea that He had for us in the first place… Something like…paradise…. even better yet, HEAVEN!!!
So where did love and a perfect life setting come from?
Where did death and suffering come from?
Go back to the origin, be honest and you’ll get your answers!!!!!!!
The result? Hate towards sin, love towards God and LIFE!!!
The purpose? HOPE and ETERNAL LIFE and PEACE even NOW!!!
Don’t mess with the truth, it will keep you confused and lead you nowhere!
In His love, Jacky Baken
