Subject: Why would God do that? |
Bible Note: IT IS NOT HIS WILL THAT ANYONE SHOULD PERRISH. (GNB) Jer 18:5 Then the LORD said to me, 6 "Don't I have the right to do with you people of Israel what the potter did with the clay? You are in my hands just like clay in the potter's hands. Isa 29:16 They turn everything upside down. Which is more important, the potter or the clay? Can something you have made say, "You didn't make me"? Or can it say, "You don't know what you are doing"? YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO ASK. Isa 45:9 Does a clay pot dare argue with its maker, a pot that is like all the others? Does the clay ask the potter what he is doing? Does the pot complain that its maker has no skill? However, finding the answer you desire may more be a little difficult. I reciently read in a good commentary, the clossest thing I have ever seen to being a good answer to your question. The only problem is that I can't remember what topic I was researching or which commentary ity was. I think it may have been predestination that I was researching. This topic concerns me as much as yours does you. In actuality, they are one in the same. HERE IS YOUR ANSWER... Whether or not you can or will accept it is up to you. GOD KNEW BEFORE HE CREATED THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH THAT YOU AND I WOULD BE RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, DOING JUST WHAT WE ARE DOING AT THIS VERY MOMENT. LIKEWISE HE KNEW WHAT YOUR DECISION AND MINE WOULD BE AS TO THE ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SON AND HIS WORD. DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR DECISION IS GOING TO BE? If you don't. I would suggest you figure it out. For no one can do it for you... I pray you will understand what has been given me to give you. If you don't, perhaps your time is not yet. Don't let it worry you. Continue your search. Continue to pray. Continue to ask. For our Lord has appointed a time for EVERYTHING. Even ones salvation. IT IS NOT HIS WILL THAT ANYONE SHOULD PERRISH. Praise His loving name! George |
