Thoughts for another day

Today's verse: Isaiah 45:22. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. (KJV)

Every religion promotes something or other and every religion on the face of it seems good. For this life every one promises means of living that seem better than the other and there’s a lot of commentary on the ways of different religions particularly on how to attain bliss in this life. On the next life, most ask us to shun greed and other human vileness to attain the bliss that can be yours in the next life. Few however, tell us how to do this for it’s literally impossible to eschew evil ways particularly greed, lechery and immorality. If you’ve tried, you know what I mean.
Only the God of the Bible has a way and it doesn’t concern human effort at all, except that a human believe in Him. Only a genuine God can provide a way that isn’t devised by man at all and is beyond his comprehension, for as the Bible says in the context of men, ‘they don’t know what they do’. Another thing is, men pay scant regard to what’s good and many a good advice is blown in the wind for we of course don’t know what’s good for us. Even before the world began, God had devised a method by which He would save the world. God knew that He alone could save and He would do it no matter what the cost, for He loved His creation so much that every price would seem too small in comparison. This can be only of a genuine God…who else would go to the extent our God did?
In some beliefs you see their so called gods defeating evil demons, etc. This, after they themselves gave the demons the power they had… how can that be? It sounds rather out of place for didn’t it as god, not know what they’d use that power for? In other beliefs, man himself was needed to do good and earn eternal life…isn’t that an impossibility for who can do the extent of good needed to enjoy eternal bliss? In Christianity, God works according to His laws. He had said that death would come upon man if he sinned and it did, but death was borne by God Himself in the form of His Son, Jesus Christ. And by that God lived up to His laws and justice. The powers of the world couldn’t question His justice; they had no excuse and therefore had to relinquish their right on the soul of every human being who believed in the Name of Jesus Christ. And this is the most admirable argument on the only way of entry into eternal bliss; there can be no other, for no other is as superior and tenable than that God Himself devised to save man. So look to Him and be saved, you denizens of the earth.
