PART 2 (continued)
Along with those rules and things were made consequences, punishments, and disciplinary actions. Just as an individual married couple set rules in their homes for their children and set punishment for if and when those rules are broken is the same concept behind the commands that were set before mankind.
We were created and put in our place in life. Now, we could’ve been placed here without any abilities to make decisions on our own. However, to prevent things from being forced upon us, we were given free will: free speech, free living, free to make choices. We can either choose to follow the guidelines that were already set for our lives because no matter what, it’s what’s best for our existence and we can never go wrong with that choice. Or, we can freely choose not to and set out on a different course.
Remember, just because we were granted free will doesn’t mean that when we choose otherwise than the path that’s in our best interest, it somehow grants us a free break pass that exempts us from the consequences, punishments, and disciplinary actions. No. Instead, we actually become subjected to the such.
Therefore, we automatically accept that we will live to suffer consequences and punishments for not choosing to follow the rules and commands that guarantees us a life of longevity. We would think that we’d all automatically choose to follow the already set commands, right? Because who doesn’t want the best for their life?
But that’s just it. We were born into imperfection, into sin, and before Christs’ sacrifice, with us having to pay for our sins in exchange by our death.
Still, sadly snd unfortunately, many are okay with exchanging paying for their sins with their demise because not everyone wants to live good lives. There are people who don’t want to be good individuals but rather enjoy being mean, evil, and wicked and toward others. They willingly accept and admit they know they’re going to hell. Unbelievable, but true.
Since we are forgiven regularly and even for the most atrocious of our actions as humans, which could easily be the opposite, we should be forgiving one another regularly as well. We have the free will to choose not to forgive, sure. However, we won’t be forgiven the same when it really will count.
We don’t want to end up regretting not forgiving someone else after this physical life and the time for judgement is upon our souls, all because we couldn’t get pass our stubbornness, or because we allowed our hardened heart to remain in place toward another individual. In the same manner, we will get the same treatment done back to us, but worse because we decided to take matters into our own hands, ruling and judging according to our own selfish imperfect ways, ultimately ignoring the command we were given and that’s to forgive.
That also goes for our ways in which we treat others. Sometimes, others treat us bad despite the good we’ve bestowed upon them. The reason we’re still advised to keep being and doing good and not repay others evil for good is because that other person will get there’s in return and worse for treating us bad. Also, we will get our reward in sevenfold for choosing to remain good, because believe it or not at the same time, we’re giving witnessing testimony for God of His existence and of Him being all good, all fair, all righteous, and all just at all times.
For instance, consider this:
You treat: good You get treated: good
Your Reward = All is good at all times
You treat: good You get treated: bad You again treat: good²
Your Reward = (+) 7 times Good
Other get treated: good Other treat: bad Other again get treated: good
Other’s Reward = (-) 7 times Good (+) 7 times Bad
You treat: good You get treated: bad You treat again: bad
Your Reward = (-) 7 times Good (+) Bad you got treated stands as so
If most people knew how many blessings, or rather for a better understanding, how many great riches they forfeit when they decide to get revenge on someone, pay someone back for wronging them, or take matters into their own hands to make someone suffer what they felt, they wouldn’t even think twice about carrying out their actions.
It’s another thing humans are blind sighted by, eagerness to have the power to control, that of which doesn’t ultimately belong to us in order to rule, judge, and dispense punishment. What stands in the way of us wanting to have that power to control are our feelings and preferences, which is the most poorly sought out manner to render judgement, to render justice, to be so-called fair, and to be so-called righteous.
We humans feel a lot of different ways, which certainly doesn’t make us right. In fact, a lot of our feelings have us feeling we’re right when we’re actually wrong, or don’t have a right to feel the ways in which we do most times. And other times, we bring feelings upon our own selves for nothing, but then attempt to blame others for those feelings which is totally wrong!
We should neither be on the bandwagon and be in such a haste to judge that we haven’t committed sin that was so bad, that we haven’t committed sin that’s considered so evil or wicked, or that we our own self haven’t committed sin that was so wrong.
Why? Because remember, we commit sin that we don’t realize we commit. How do we know what’s considered what and on what levels regarding those unknown sins? There’s only One who knows, not us, so don’t be so sure. It’s better to hope that we haven’t, instead.
The meaning of life is living out our purpose for being created backed by desire and love.
The meaning of life is desiring happiness, freedom, and all good things for others the same as we want for ourselves.
The meaning of life is desiring to love and help others the same as we love and want to help ourselves.
The meaning of life is everyday, throughout everyday, in the manners which we behave and between selecting the choices we make, always choosing to put God first!
Because when we do, what He has stored up for us, there’s absolutely nothing that can measure up to, nor be even considered, let alone be worth enough to be nearly enough to compete with.
And when we do, He sends us people and things in this physical life to help us along the way, like He has sent us Luckscout!
How can anything or anyone compete with priceless riches and gifts that we humans can even begin to fathom the infinite value of? It’s inevitably impossible!
