The materialistic and the spiritual world. |
|||
|
Our society is close to 100 %
materialistic. It concern politics, commerce, art, music,
culture, education a.s.f. When I am listening to and reading everyday
media, whatever program, whatever subject , is the message, money, money,
money and all sort of material things. It is not always so. I have a few
examples of the opposite. Devotions and churchservices in radio or in TV.
Let me also mention many christian radiostations and TV stations and of
course christian newspapers and periodicals.
The "religion" of materialism
has followers from kindergarten to old peoples homes, in our land.
The background for this materialistic "religion" has
to do with a strong protest against the biblical standpoints and teaching of
God as the mighty Creator of the universe. The teaching of Darwinism is a
"deadblow" to believe that God has created all tings, the nature, the
planets, the animals and human beings.
When God is wiped from the map, you cannot find Jesus
either. The ultramaterialistic way of life may kill your soul. Jesus
said: "What does it profit a man if he win the whole world but damages his
soul. What can you give instead of lost soul.? Just nothing.
Because of this terrible
misunderstanding many people believe that when the body die,
everything is finished - over and out, There is no life after death, they
say. This generation has come to the conclusion that the spiritual part of
the existence has no value, because the most important is the here and now!
This is very dangerous, because life is so short and
eternity is so tremendous long. Eternity cannot be measured at all, from
eternity to eternity. Lost or saved. That's the question.
I remind you about the fact
that in heaven you have the trinity. the Father God, God the Son and God
the Holy Spirit. God gave his only begotten Son, so that none need to
perish but have eternal life God gave His Son because of Love. God loves
your soul and He is ready to save your eternal soul when you pray to him.
Yes, you have an eternal soul. As a soul you will never
die. When you leave this world your existence will continue on forever and
forever, either in heaven or in hell, depending on your position to Jesus
and his cross. Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and
your household, The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses you from all your sins.
Believe it! Pray to God in the name of Jesus, and he will save you!
God bless you now and forever!
