I Choose the Righteousness of My Creator.

 Recognizing God as the Creator.

Do you recognize God as your Creator?  

If you don't, does that mean you believe it's pure chance that you exist, that we all exist? Even those who believe in the big bang have to continue on back further than the bang that created us to what created the bang? You could keep going back and back until you are in a corner of nothingness, with nothing, because ultimately there had be something that started something.  We cannot take nothing and create something from nothing- it's impossible, completely and utterly impossible. And the big bang takes something to make something, not nothing creating something.  The absurdity of it all is so obvious, yet Satan has blinded the minds of many people, a lot of whom consider themselves of superior intelligence. 

Hope or no hope.

Belief in God or no belief in God.

I know I exist now in this moment and I know that I can cease to exist in the next moment. I can either choose to believe that if I cease to exist in the next moment that there will be another moment when I will again exist or I can believe that is it, no more existence whatsoever.

If I choose to believe this current existence of mine is all there is of life, truly hope is non-existent. There is so much unfairness in the existence of so many, exponentially more unfairness than what would be considered fair- that to believe this is how it is supposed to be- is truly horrific. 

Hope.

Hope tells me that if I believe in the evidence of the unseen that there is so much more to my existence than what is happening with me right now, and happening to all of us. The teeny tiny portion of people who live a life seemingly problem free… wait, there  is no such teeny tiny portion of people. All, without any exception, have problems in their lives. What might be considered a problem to someone wealthy might not be considered a problem to a poor person, someone considered physically beautiful might have a lot of problems that someone not beautiful in that way would have and vice versa. Problems big or small, significant to the person experiencing them, make up our lives. We live in a constant state of potential problems. This existence isn't what was intended. 

We have a Creator. A righteous Creator who has given us hope. In that hope is the knowledge that our existence in this problematic filled life is temporary towards an ultimate existence in perfection. That perfection is our uniting completely with our Creator. After having made the choice to separate from Him, we make the choice to join with Him. We recognize the wrong choice and because our Creator loves us, we are forgiven for making that wrong choice and allowed to accept that our Creator has made a way to make that wrong choice right again. 

We have HOPE. We live with that HOPE.

We choose to live with HOPE or no hope, that choice is ours to make.

I choose HOPE! I choose the righteousness of my Creator!

(Excerpt)

'Romans 4:4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 

Debt and Grace. 

"Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt." It is necessary to keep in mind what the apostle is writing about. The subject is the means by which a man is justified. 

To him that works for justification, the reward of righteousness is not a gift of grace, but the payment of a debt. That is, it would be so if there were any righteousness by works. In that case, the man would come to the Lord and demand of him his due.

But no man can put the Lord under obligation to him. 

"Who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?" Rom. 11:35. If any one could do something for the Lord for which the Lord would be under obligation to him, then all things would not be from him.

That is to say, the idea of justification by works is opposed to the fact that God is the Creator of all things.

And, conversely, the recognition of God as Creator is the acknowledgment that righteousness comes from him alone.'
