I’ve read the book and God wins. I take great comfort in trusting God. That is when I reject what my flesh dictates and allow the Spirit to guide my heart. The more I learn from scripture the more I know why I do put my trust in the Lord. He keeps His promises. He assures us that He has plans for us, plans for good. He gave us, as a propitiation, His only Son. He will raise believers in glory and we will be with Him, forever. As believers we already have one foot in heaven! The miracle and the mercy is that God wants us at all, broken, wicked creations that choose sin until by some great epiphany He gets our attention. He is our amazing, awesome and holy, holy, holy God!
Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win. Corinthians – 9:24 NASB
So, if God wins in this war between good and evil, and He does, how do we also win the “race”? We repent! We repent of our sins and place our faith and trust in God through Jesus Christ. Know the gospel! Study the word of God so you may run in such a way as to win! Give to Him your heart! Jesus tells a lawyer, testing Him with which is the great commandment in the law: And He said to him, “‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.” Matthew – 22:37-40
