What does it mean to submit ourselves to the order of God’s authority? Well pertaining to the Heavens governing Earth, this mindset will sustain for God being in control… if you follow this philosophy. But how do we develop the right heart to obey God? Are we born naturally to disobey? Without much argument about the truth of this point, we know that all humans sin and fall short of obtaining the glory of God.
“There is no difference between Jews and Gentiles, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” Romans 3:22- 25
Nevertheless, rather it is our personal fault for this defect in human nature we need to accept that it is real. Regardless of how hard we try or how much human effort we put into accomplishing this goal, we will not be able to save ourselves from eternal condemnation. It is for this reason Jesus was born, came upon this Earth, grew into manhood, was brutally beaten and crucified (for no convicting moral reason) and was resurrected and raised from the dead after three days. It is for this very point everyone needs Jesus. Humanity needs a Savior. If Marvel or DC Comics ever were mindful enough to create a reality superhero, the Son of God would fit this profile. I’ve spent much time expression this philosophy behind Christianity known as The Force of Nature. I explained that sin was not the reason for the dark side but the product of it while an unfaithful mentality fuel the energy to create such a product. Nevertheless, you still may feel a little shallow, you see the information, but the meaning has yet to settle in; much as new falling snow that melts once it hits the surface of the Earth never compacting or building layers of growth,
(Read this part of the scriptures- Colossians 1:15- 17)
Jesus is the reason. Why did God create a world. He created one for His one and only son, Jesus. What does it mean to serve God…it means to know His son and obey a lifestyle which pleases Him. Knowing God is what it takes to develop the heart to serve Him. When you get to know Him (God) and understand His ways you will want to fall in a relationship with Him. It is the natural order creation.
Reflect on these scriptures here as an afterthought of this article:
“This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches. But let the one who boasts boast about this; that they have understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight.” declares the Lord.”
Jeremiah 9:23 & 24
