God's Power

I want you to know about the great and mighty power that God has for us followers. It is the same wonderful power He used when He raised Christ from death and let Him sit at His right side in Heaven. There Christ rules over all forces, authorities, powers, and rulers. He rules over all beings in this world and will rule in the future world as well. God has put all things under the power of Christ, and for the good of the church He has made Him the head of everything. The church is Christ’s body and is filled with Christ who completely fills everything. (Ephesians 1:19-23 Contemporary English Version, ABS)

The logical question is, if the above is true why do we have all the bad stuff in the world today. The answer is in that Almighty God created man with a free will. Man chooses who to follow. When man chooses to follow the Lord Jesus Christ the result is good and that man’s final destination is Heaven where like followers enjoy eternity in it’s beauty. When man chooses his own way and demands to control what he does and thinks then his destiny is with like minded men. That place is called Hell. Such men would not be comfortable in Heaven and God knows this and provides a place for them.

God is in control of this world and he does direct the ultimate outcome of history. At the present time it looks like the forces of evil have the upper hand but those of us who know the power of Almighty God, have no fear that the ultimate outcome will be as God directs. That can only be good for those of us who know Him as Lord and Savior! AMEN!
