Been studying the book of Ezekiel. I got to say, his calling was heavy, it required quite an obedient, dedicated spirit. Someone who totally denied themselves and was devoted to God. Any way, came across a chapter that was talking about sin and judgement.
A lot of times people are draw to the question or rather the idea that does God enjoy judging people, why create them if He knew they are going to sin, its as if its a planned judgment or something, since He already knows what we are going to do. Am sure it has crossed your mind a couple times, or at least have heard about it.
Well chapter 18 opened my eyes to something. I read about Him not interested in seeing people dying in their sins and that sending these warnings, its to make them repent. I read about how those who do good but decide to turn bad, will face judgement, and those who have been on the bad side of things but decides to repent, their past is forgotten. But one thing was consistent, it all centered on what man decides to do and that our own choices affects everything. After finishing the chapter, I had a simple yet deep understanding that GOD IS JUST.
What does that mean? for certain it means God is not biased in anyway unlike us humans. He makes sure that we receive what we deserve accordingly. WE COULD SAY IMPARTIAL. That kind of rules out the whole idea of a preplanned destruction. in my opinion, yes he knows what we are capable of doing good or bad, but leaves us to make a choice for our selves. but those choices are not going to go unnoticed. if it was preplanned then that mean the moment someone who has been living a life of sin decides to change He wont let that happen because it wont be according to His plan.
Live your life knowing that God is just. your works will speak for you and determine your destiny. How you choose to live your life now will have an impact to what you shall receive when you face the King. If you are saved by grace, don’t live a life of sin thinking because of the other good things you will be safe, No you will face your judgement.
And if you have been living outside God, not aligning to His will , word or ways, the moment you come to Him, he clears off All records of the past and give you a chance of an eternal life. Once you ask for forgiveness , and choose what right He forgives and gives another chance. He won’t hold the past against you.
Just to share my bible study for the day. the goal is to learn more about God and understand as well, not just knowing. its a personal journey, this may not hit you hard as it did to me. when you set on a journey to try and understand more of God and His ways, a simple scripter can come with a deeper meaning to your life that you may not be able to explain but you can feel it in your heart. this is me today.
