We may be ask, "Are you saved?" and those from the secular culture will tell us "There is no God." We cannot deal with this challenges unless we believe in God and then by God's grace we may understand, the basics of Faith, Hope and Love, in God. At times, we may ask "what is the purpose of life?" and "why did God make us?" The answer "God created us to know him, to love him, and to serve him in the world and be happy with him for ever in the next." And it is the reason for our existence. God constantly uses material things to show his love and power.

After all, matter is not evil, when God created the physical universe, everything God created was "very good." God plan for us is simple. Our loving God wants to give us all good things - especially eternal life.

Best of all, the promise of eternal life is a gift, freely offered to us by God. When we come to God and are justified ( that is, enter a right relationship with God ) nothing preceding justification, whether faith or good works, earn grace. But then God plants his love in our hearts, and we should live out our faith by doing acts of love. Even though, only God's grace enables us to love others, these acts of love please Him, and He promises to reward them with eternal life.

Thus, good works are meritorious, when we first come to God in faith, we have nothing in our hands to offer Him. Then God gives us grace to obey his commandments in love, and He rewards us with salvation when we offer these acts of love back to Him. Since no gift be forced on recipient - gifts always can be rejected - even after we become justified, we can throw away the gift of salvation, we throw it away through grave sin. "The wages of sin is death." The grace filled relationship with God and our obedience, hope and love in him, combined with our faith, will be rewarded with eternal life.

I have through years of reading, pondering, reflecting and contemplating, the 3 things that last; FAITH . HOPE . LOVE and I would like to made available my sharing from the many thinkers, authors, scholars and theologians whose ideas and thoughts I have borrowed. God be with them always. Amen!

I STILL HAVE MANY THINGS TO SAY TO YOU BUT THEY WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR YOU NOW. BUT WHEN THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH COMES, HE WILL LEAD YOU TO THE COMPLETE TRUTH, SINCE HE WILL NOT BE SPEAKING AS FROM HIMSELF, BUT WILL SAY ONLY WHAT HE HAS LEARNT; AND HE WILL TELL YOU OF THE THINGS TO COME.

HE WILL GLORIFY ME, SINCE ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. EVERYTHING THE FATHER HAS IS MINE; THAT IS WHY I SAID: ALL HE TELLS YOU WILL BE TAKEN FROM WHAT IS MINE. - JOHN 16:12-15 -
