“The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life.”
Psalms 104:30 When you send forth your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the ground.
Job 12:6-10 The tents of robbers are at peace, and those who provoke God are secure, who bring their god in their hand. “But ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens, and they will tell you, or the bushes of the earth, and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you. Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this? In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.
Ephesians 2:1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved
Titus 3:5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit
Isaiah 65:17 “For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth, and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind.
Isaiah 66:22 “For as the new heavens and the new earth that I make shall remain before me, says the LORD, so shall your offspring and your name remain.
Revelation 21:5 And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
We are created and given life by God. We are both flesh and spirit. Though the flesh may return to dust the spirit lives on forever. Eternity is timeless. We fill and track our days – time. Some days seem to drag on and others seem to fly by. But a time is coming when there will be no more time, no more death. God, our Creator, has promised a new heavens and new earth. This promise from Isaiah is to everyone as recorded in
John 3:16 📝 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.
Joh 3:18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
However there are those who choose to reject God’s grace through Christ. Those who reject Christ are doomed to God’s wrath and will forever live in torment. They will not see this new heaven and new earth. They are forever cast into the lake of fire where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth. Trying to understand this forever torment is hard for us this side of eternity to comprehend. Though not having this understanding does not leave those guiltless. God’s grace and mercy through Christ, to those who believe, is a eternal life decision and life forever in His presence. Do not reject His grace and mercy. Do not neglect His calling. Do not listen to the lies of satan that this world is all there is to your life. The consequences of this decision is for eternity.
