We are often reminded that the current of popular opinion about what is important in life flows against the tide of truth. The following is a great illustration.
I will live life according to these beliefs
God does not exist
It is foolish to think
That there is an all-knowing God with a cosmic plan
That an all-knowing God brings purpose to the pain and suffering in the world
Is a comforting thought however
It
Is only wishful thinking
People can do what they wish without eternal consequences
The idea that
I’m deserving of hell
Because of sin
Is a lie meant to make me a slave to those in power
“The more you have the happier you will be”
Our existence has no grand meaning or purpose
In a world with no God
There is freedom to be who we want to be
But with God
Life is an endless cycle of guilt and shame
Without God
Everything is fine
It is ridiculous to think
I am lost and in need of saving
Now, lest your heart be swamped in despair, read it again, this time from bottom to top, beginning with, “I am lost and in need of saving…”
