This week, travel was curtailed from the U.K. to other countries. Businesses are desperate for normal commerce. Efforts by world governments will present all sorts and manner of things for solutions. They will, in essence, be well-intended. However, government solutions often have unintended consequences.
Fear and anxiety can be overwhelming if one does not understand that all security rests in the attitude of one’s own mind and faith.
The fourth week of Advent is the culmination, summary, and spiritual aggregation of the intent and purpose of the Holy week of Christmas. This is a time wherein Christians find confidence and security in the order of Creation. This existence was designed by God for us to experience the completeness of purpose in the conclusion of events of this system of things.
God created time and space within the constructs of eternity for mankind to realize the benefit of trusting in Him and obeying His laws to achieve paradise. It is no one person’s fault today that sin entered the world. Being born with sins of the flesh was a conviction not of one’s own doing. Therefore, every individual can receive God’s love. Christ came to reset the order intended for mankind in the Garden of Eden prior to Adam and Eve’s partaking of the forbidden fruit. Understanding the infinite love of God, to create a world wherein love is perfected by a Savior’s sacrificial redemption of a fallen world, is to manifest love personally in eternity. This order of things brings confidence through and in God’s magnificent purpose for mankind.
In our natural nature, it is normal to believe that we must pay a price for being sinful. And, in the natural, this may be true. Spiritually, we cannot pay a price for being born in sin. Christ has paid the price. We are only asked to accept this grace from God. We cannot earn our own redemption. Only Christ can redeem humanity and reset the order. This is what is perfect in the relationship of man becoming one with God.
Realizing this great emancipation is easy. Accepting its truth is a matter of will. The Bible instructs one to seek the truth, and the truth shall set you free. The process is set out in successive directives. Seek knowledge. With knowledge, get wisdom. With wisdom, acquire understanding. And, with understanding, realize brotherly love.
If one simply asks for knowledge, what is the word of the lord, one will receive it, even if a non-believer. Wisdom, then, is making the decision to accept God’s laws and obey them. This is a matter of will. In obeying, one gets understanding that every soul exists for a purpose in the fabric of the greater call of humanity. We are all equal in purpose in God’s eyes. God determines our purpose. When this understanding is acquired, we look at each other as absolute equals in design and, therefore, feel brotherly love for one another by one tribal recognition.
When it becomes clear that this system of things is simply a journey to eternity, Christians become less anxious, fearful, or apprehensive about their current circumstances. By faith, Christians simply want what’s best for one another until the second coming of Jesus Christ occurs.
Families are a blend of personalities of individuals. The state is a blend of personalities of families. Governments, when calling for one world cooperation, are a blend of personalities of states. The further the overall objective gets from the direct purpose of God in relationship to the individual, the blend of personalities can distort the vision of obedience as ordained by God’s law.
Whether confronted with election disputes or COVID solutions, each of us has the authority to maintain a personal relationship with the Creator by remaining steadfast in obedience as is prayerfully determined.
Remembering that the salvation of one’s soul is totally, absolutely in control of the individual, regardless of edicts or pressures from world governments, provides security and, therein, peace that one is in control of his or her own destiny in eternity.
Christmas is the celebration of the birth of the Savior, knowing that the promise is being kept for the completion of God’s order. We are not in competition with God or fearful that we are abandoned by Him in this system of things. Christ is the personification that “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 KJV
The answer to the question of what is real in reference to world governments is, let not your soul be troubled. In acquiring understanding, find peace in brotherly love of common purpose within the great creation of God.
May God be glorified and may He be praised for His ultimate perfect love. The order of His creation is His commitment to each of us as His children.
May the peace of the Lord in His order be with you and your family, now and forever, beginning in this Holy week of Christmas.
