No Real Peace Unless Root Problem Is Solved
We tend to feel that the problems humans face are only marital, financial, health, psychological, interpersonal relationship issues, etc., because those are what we can feel, see and observe consciously. Thus, we try our best to address those issues. Yet, the root of mankind’s problems is beyond what is seen on the surface. As with any other problem, it is not enough to only treat the symptoms, but we have to fix the problem at its root. So what exactly is the root to all human problems? What is the antidote to the root problem? What is the key to true peace, freedom, joy and meaning of life?
Jacob and Esau: A Look into God’s Election and Human Folly
Which comes first in salvation? Did we first believe in Jesus thus we are saved? Or were we first elected by God thus we could be saved in the end? From the example of Jacob and Esau, it is clear that salvation first came from God rather than any human factor. But while God offers grace, let us not be foolish to miss out on His grace. Often, when we exaggerate our needs and feelings and pursue instant gratification, we fall into folly. But the word of God can make us wise for salvation. Thus, may we treasure the word of God and take it seriously, so that we can stay on the course of wisdom.
Blessed But Barely Saved
In view of God’s righteous judgement, we need to be repentant and vigilant toward sin, grateful that His grace saves those who believe, and urgently evangelise to those who are still lingering outside the door of salvation.
Are You In Or Out?
All humans face problems in life, and more importantly, the need to resolve the problem of our sins, and the only way of salvation God provided for us is through Christ Jesus. Would you come into the saving grace of Jesus Christ?
