Reflections of faith (The right way) – 6 February 2019


Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

I woke up this morning with a happy heart. I am tired but I am happy. How many ways are there? Life is simple, because there is right way and a wrong way. The problem is how we calculate the right way. What is the right way and how do we know what is the wrong way? The moral question has been a well debated issue in the atheist world. You see, as Christian we know that God created moral values and His word is the basis of what we see as morally correct today. But man corrupts the moral compass by pushing God out and modifying it to suit his own selfish needs.

So, when you watch the media and the outside world you get a very corrupted view of what is right and what is wrong. In fact, it is wrong, but we can argue it correct if it becomes a human rights issue. So being gay is correct, but having an affair is wrong. Having multiple partners before you get married is acceptable, just as long as you stay faithful to the one you decide to marry. How did the world get so confused and why do we allow this when we all read the same Bible? 

The problem with modern society is that they will manipulate the Bible for their own benefit. This makes being a parent or a Christian so much harder. We know what the Word teaches, yet we conform to the world and we accept. We forget that there is only one way.

Jesus said that He is the way and the truth and the life. He is the only way to the Father and if He is your way then all His teachings apply to your life. This means if it is wrong it is wrong and we should not turn away from it and allow the world around us to influence us purely because it is what the worldly norm is. 

Jesus also said that He is the truth. He is the son of God and in Him we have complete freedom. In Him we are separated from the sinful world and united with the Godly realm. We become righteous in the sense that we are washed clean and a completely new creation. 

Jesus said He is the life. Once we are converted or made over by His grace, we see life differently and suddenly we live. We truly live because we see the prize that awaits us in doing His will. We live because there is no burden that holds us back from His love. We live, because we suddenly understand the value of life and the end that awaits those who are still lost.

Come with me today as we live life fully for His glory and His honour. 

Have an awesome day dear friend of Jesus. 

Cheers
