Biblical Christian Worldview

God’s Ways are Above Our Ways

Jeff Hilles Season 4 Episode 274

"Let us know what you think."

Mankind is in no position to judge God's actions based on our limited range of vision. 

Summary on the Issue of Who Makes the Rules

Many believe being better than the next guy will be our ticket to Heaven. Others reject the existence of God and Jesus entirely. Even more believe, incorrectly, that there are other paths besides Jesus to find joy beyond the grave (John 14:6). If one rejects the Bible, all these positions are understandable and logical. Of course, the mature Christian will counter with a litany of evidence that there is a Creator, and then add the miraculous to strengthen the argument that He remains active today. However, rarely does that move the needle once one passes the age of a child who is being indoctrinated by parents, peers, and the church. And, even with children, saying a prayer at 8 years old still calls for a demonstrated change in behavior for a lifetime (James 2:14-16). Sometimes God puts trials in life that draw even adults to the cross (as He did with me). God does use preachers, Sunday School teachers, and evangelists, to plant and water the Lord's plan of salvation (1 Cor. 3:7). But, in the end, it all comes down to faith, not facts. And, a relationship with Christ is not a passing thing, it is a lifestyle change.  

Hebrews 11:1,6 - Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen... And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
