MY FAITH
Being Christian
Why God needed to come to earth as a human; conceived, born, growing up, and died in an indecent way: hung at the cross?
The answer is because God want to save us, human, from eternal death caused by sin that we inherit since Adam sinned first time. When God created human, He was expecting to have a relationship with someone who is like Him. Another God. That is Adam was another god, a created god. Just like God wanted to have relationship with someone so did Adam, the other god. Therefore for Adam, God created Eva. Please refer to Genesis chapter 1.
Then it was supposed to be a nice world when and where God enjoyed the world He created with Adam and Eva there to whom God loved to share things. But the star, an angel namely Lucifer, fell when he sinned against God, his Master. Lucifer wanted to be god. I supposed he was jealous with Adam, a weak creature who did not know the power he had as being a god. Adam did not even know he was naked!
In his anger, because he was thrown out from heaven, Lucifer was determined to kill Adam. And he managed to get Adam and Eva out from Eden. Their heavenly soul were death. They now know that they were naked and were ashamed. All the good times they had together with God were ruined by simple sin: eating the forbidden fruit. It turned out that the sin was not so simple as it looks like. Adam and Eva lost their relationship with God as they betrayed His trust. It broke the heart of God too. If I was a movie director in Holywood the scene would show a flashback from the time when God worked out a human, exhaled His breath to Adam, got him sleep tight to take one of his bone to build Eva. Then the times when Adam met lion and told God that the he called the animal lion. There should be some scene when God took Adam for th efirst time to see the animals, trees, flowers.. Just like father and son. God's heart must be broken when sin--a disgusting thing in the sight of God--covered Adam. He could not let Adam and Eva stay because they look bad, smell bad..
They were not good anymore. They were awful. They could only come back if they are clean again. For that God had plan. He would pay the price Himself. He set up a master plan. He would destroy Satan and his works. Sin on Adam and Eva is like virus. It damaged the perfection on these creature that they gave birth a damaged person namely Cain who killed his brother. The master plan includes taking out this virus from human nature. They must be perfect again as it was when human was created at the first time. It is a complicated task.
But God never wanted to wait till it's over. He loves human so much that He could eliminate some flaws and berkenan toward some people like Abram who preferred not to tell the truth about his marriage than die. Or toward Jacob who tricked his brother. Or to Moses who killed an Egyptian man. Or to Joseph who annoyed his brothers with his dream of rulling over them. Or to David who took his loyal man's wife and killed him. And the list goes on. Read the Bible, it's very honest. God consider those men as great people because they believe in Him.
And Jesus, God Himself, still had to die to pay off the price of sin. He wants us all that He would pay that price. So, blood is the cure for the damaged caused by the virus of sin. But it has to be a perfect blood. A clean blood. Jesus came to earth with this clean blood in His body as He did not come by a desire of a man but by His own will. He also came with some teachings and revealed some Bible's secret and His tasks was completed when He gave up His body to be hung at the cross and let His blood be shed to earth finding it's own way to the altar underneath. In three days He was risen and stayed back on earth for forty days before He went up to heaven to meet His Father and waits there till the time comes for His second return on earth with victory in His hands. Such a marvelous notion.
Till then, this is what I believe, that Christian should enjoy life as the Bible has shown us. That we could move on though we don't know what's waiting ahead just like Abraham did. We could boldly stand firm in our faith like Daniel and his friends. We see miracles in our lives. We should move from victory after victory. Strong and confident because we know we are the winner through Jesus Christ the Lord. We are not overcome by the problems of this damaged world. We smile as we look forward to our future. And we reach others with love that overflows ourselves from heaven. We are bright like stars. Because Christ has paid off the price of sin that cause by Adam's fault. We are not bound to it anymore. We are free as the eagles.
That is my faith.
