God wanted to live with us, even when He knew we were sinners!

God still wanted to be with us, even though we are sinners. Let's take a look at when Moses led the people out of Egypt. As they trekked through the desert, God gave instructions to Moses: And let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell in their midst. Exodus 25: 8 I was struck by how amazing that was. God didn't say "well, I'll keep a good distance away from these crazy sinners of humans." Instead he told Moses to make him a sanctuary so that God might dwell among us. Among us?! That's amazing that He would want to do that! He is perfect and we are not, yet he still desires to be with us. This is why He made a path for us to be with him in heaven through Jesus. That way, we can be with Him. Yet He wanted people to choose this path freely. God did not force us to accept the sacrifice Jesus made. This is why it is so important to make our own choice about this. Don't wait until it's too late! If you found this post interesting, you may also like thes...

People didn't believe that Covid-19 was real. But it is. Is it the same for God?

We've all heard about people who didn't believe Covid-19 would affect them. They thought "it's not real", or "it's no big deal." Some of these people put themselves at extra risk of catching it by having close contact with others. Some of these naysayers died from a disease that they just didn't believe in. This tragic situation is not all that different from when someone doesn't believe in God and Jesus. The only difference is that the consequences for not believing in God and Jesus are a much bigger deal. Covid-19 only has power over the physical body, but not the soul. God has power over your soul. Is Covid-19 any less real if you don't believe in it? Is Jesus? If you are not sure, why not pray? You can do this by yourself if you want. Ask Him if He is there. Listen carefully.  If you found this post interesting, you may also like these related posts on this blog: Why doesn't God reveal himself more easily? Why the coro...
