Have a blessed Life -Part 1


Without God, Life is miserable. Dreams shattered. Life on earth seems full of flattery. Health, too gives us problems some times. Our beloved ones become selfish. Many lost hope and faith in everything and become frustrated. Out of frustration, many persons turn to alcohol, drugs and other intoxicated things and lead miserable life. Some joint anti-social elements and many girls destroy their life  
God does not created to be so. He created us to be happy and live a joyous life. God loves us and want to bless us. When one fail to get God’s blessing, life become miserable. Majority of us fail to receive His blessings due to ignorance that lead us to negative way. We have to learn how to receive His blessings so that we can have a blessed (full of satisfaction) life.
God tells us to love each other as He loves us. This love prepares this simple but effective guide with prayer to God. Please study prayerfully few lines daily with prayer to God from this ‘Have a blessed Life’ page and receive the blessing of God in Jesus name.
When we were infant and up to childhood, we lived very much in touch with our parents, as we fully depend on them. Our parents cared us so much that they provided all our need and we also trust our own mother and father to be the strongest, the most powerful and be able to give us protection from any threat and also can provide us whatever we demand. A child in his mother’s breast is never afraid of anything. If he finds some threat, he cries and immediately clings to his mother or father and feels fully safe and secure. When man was with God in the beginning, man was like the child. Even, if we are with Jesus Christ, we behave the same way.
God created all the created being in the beginning. He created man and woman to live with Him as His children. God created them in His image and breathed life through their nostril. Man became living being. This ‘life’ which God gives them means God gave them His Spirit by breathing in His ‘spirit inside the man He created. Thus, man became a ‘living being’ with the ‘Life and spirit’ of God. This ‘spirit’ of God bears the ‘image’ of God. Till man has this ‘life’ and ‘spirit of God, he had no problem but live without any disturbances in the sight of God.
God loves man He created in His image. Out of love and care, God had given them free choice for living life. Unfortunately, Man had chosen to live on his own will and disobeyed God’s will. This disobedience of God is ‘sin’ against God. Made became a mixture of ‘Good’ and ‘Bad’ (see Genesis 3). God is Holy but man became ‘Mixture’ or ‘unholy’. ‘Holy’ means ‘the most pure, only good quality without any mixture’. We may, therefore, say a ‘mixture’ is ‘unholy’ and the term ‘Good and Bad’ signify ‘mixture’ or; unholy’. Man, after entering ‘Good and Bad’ in his body, became a ‘mixture of both Good and Bad.
‘God is Good’. ‘Sin’ is ‘Bad’. Man, after consuming the fruit of the knowledge of Good and Bad’ became a mixture of ‘Good and Bad’. Therefore, God sent out man from His presence to preserve His Holiness. Since then, man live miserable life by living life far away from God.  However, God knew that man was deceived and led to ‘sin’ by the power of sin (Satan – here ‘serpent’). Therefore, though He sent out man from His presence to preserve His Holiness, God also made a plan to purify man again.
God plan to save again from the power of sin, to purify man again so that man may become His child. God told about His plan to both man and Satan that He would cause enmity between man and Satan. The enmity will continue in between the children, descendants of man (and woman). Ultimately, the power of sin (Satan) will be defeated (crushed or killed or totally defeated) by the ‘offspring’ (descendant) of woman. Thus, God declared the ultimate ‘Salvation’ of man from the power and bondage of Satan.
Why, God ‘offspring of woman’ or ‘Eve’ (Genesis 3:15) and not the ‘offspring of man’ (Adam) when in all other cases God talked only to and about man (Adam)?
This is a clear indication that ‘the Saviour’ who will defeat Satan will not come through man but through woman! This ‘Saviour’ has already been born, in a virgin woman (Mary), who had conceived before she married Joseph and born Jesus (the Savior) 2000 years ago in Palestine. Jesus was not born from the blood or seed of man but from God (the Holy Spirit).
Let us repeat – God is Holy. He can not live with bad, even with a mixture of ‘Good and Bad’! He, therefore. Set apart His Holiness and kept man separate (far away) from Him. This was set aside for sometime, to make it clean later. So, God sent His Son Jesus Christ to clean man from sin (a mixture of ‘good and bad’) by deadly defeating the power of sin (Satan) in man( John 3:16).
God consider and accepted man to be with Him again as ‘Holy’ when Jesus Christ cleansed the sin stain man.
God made very easy for His created man ( all man and woman) that He consider ‘Holy’ whosoever believe and accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour – not because of their good deed and living a good life but because of Jesus. Jesus Christ clean and live in any one who believes in Him and accepted Him as Lord and Saviour. God accepted the believer as His ‘adopted child’ and give the Holy Spirit live in that believer. Thus, the ‘Holiness of God’ is restored in that man and is consider duly qualified to be called ‘the child of God’, worthy to live with the Holy God again! Praise the Lord!
