Why doesn’t God stop bad behavior and enforce compliance and committal to the good?  Would it suffice to say that I do not know?  Maybe, but most folks want an honest, sincere answer when pursuing this line of questioning, although some may just be attempting to throw an unavoidable obstacle in the path of coming to Christ. I will take an attempt at answering this question from my heart.  Simply it is about love.  God’s most prevalent characteristic, the one facet that may be most widely used to express God’s motivation for everything that He does, is LOVE.  He loved us when He created us, shaping us in His image, to reflect our relationship, surpassing time and space.  He loved us enough to kick our predecessors out of the garden of Eden before they ate from the tree of life and sealed their fate for all eternity.  He loved us enough to pronounce a path to salvation, born of the woman, so that someday we might be saved from our error in allowing sin to torment us.  God loves us enough to never leave us, never forget us and make good on every promise He ever made to humans.  God loves us enough to allow us to choose to love Him, freely, never forcing so that our choice is truly one made without duress.  That is why He never forces because then it wouldn’t be love.  If your Father told you that you had to love him, would you?  We shouldn’t be confused that since God is allowing this behavioral choice for a period that He will continue to allow these liberties or ethical relativism to continue forever.  He has also promised that He will rule and that within His Kingdom, sin will not exist and that Christ will rule with a rod of iron.

Did God design this world such that everything eventually decays or was it perfectly created without corrosion, a corrosion called death, that was allowed into the mix by complacency, cause and volition?  We all die, all grass withers, mountains erode and rivers become fettered with silt.  Change is guaranteed, and with it the ravages of time upon all things which consume or process air to live.  That is the permanency and preciousness having been built into this life, since the moment of the original sin.  Who knows what God intended originally for the life of man, perhaps He designed us to live forever from the outset.  Maybe, just maybe, the limitations we must rationalize and confront make this life more valuable.  If we had forever from the beginning, how could we be trusted to use it wisely?  I am resolved to believe that this life has an end so that we understand the ever present need to make a decision for or against God through Christ.  We must have an expiration date, a time limit, a countdown or each of us may never get around to making the most important decision incumbent to this testing ground.

Apparently, from review of scripture and subsequent matching to current events, it appears that we are significantly close to that expiration.  This creates a sense of urgency in my heart, hoping beyond hope and prayer that everyone will rationally make a decision for Christ and be saved.  Evil may have raised its ugly, consuming head, but it shall never prevail as God has foretold.  This Earth will face tribulation, aimed at turning the hearts of the Jewish People to the Lord, as they must eventually come to the full knowledge of the mystery of the Church.  There are many things that I may imagine, opine or ponder regarding God’s nature.  These things I have resolved to simply accept and move on, for just as my mind may not fully comprehend infinity, so is the understanding of God.  But that does not mean I may not fully comprehend His intention for my life as He has taken ample time to convey this direction through His prophets, apostles, teachers, preachers and continues to remind me each day through guidance of His indwelling Spirit.

I love God and He loves me, that is simply enough to fill the emptiness that once occupied my worldly purpose.  My salvation is through belief, and belief alone in the Gospel message of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ upon Calvary’s Cross.  I do not fret so much about this world, but I do have great concern for its people, as God loves them.  May I pray for you?  Please let me know how I may assist in any measure.  God bless you in your quest to find purpose in the world and the next.  May you find peace and strength in Jesus Christ the Lord.
