Life is hard

Have you ever thought about why we're here? I think God was lonely so He made Himself some company to be with. But He didn't want to make puppets or robots. He gave us FREE WILL so we could CHOOSE Him. It's more special for Him that way. If you made yourself a bunch of robots that you programmed, what fun is THAT? Even the angels had free will and one third of them went with Lucifer (now called demons.) And it's actually more difficult because we cannot SEE God; it takes faith. Again, not near as much of a choice if you can see everything...

Life is hard. Satan rules this world. As Christians, we're swimming upstream the whole time. That's why God says (in the Bible) "if we ENDURE" then we get to spend eternity (forever) with Him in a wonderful place (heaven.) That's our REWARD. There's a word you don't hear much anymore... Years ago when someone died, you would hear people say, 'They're going to their reward." You never hear that now.

Life is HARD. It's built into the template. Satan attacks those people doing God's work. If your life is easy, you have to ask yourself, why? It's a struggle to be a believing, striving Christian. But if you ENDURE, your reward is great - it's forever - to be with God forever. His word says the way is narrow. "Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it." Matt. 7:12-14. It also says, "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So CHOOSE LIFE in order that you may live." Deut. 30:18-20

It's YOUR choice...
