Living Life (1/19)

To those still following, here's the continuation of last weeks post.

Life and Justice

Humans roam the earth, which leads to the question that many philosophers, singers and scientist have staggered to figure out:

“Why are we here?”

Referring back to our Pre-Earth life, we realize that we come to receive our physical bodies and to exercise freedom [or free agency].

So we have the freedom to choose how we want to live, where we want to live, who we want to be with and what we want to be.

However our freedom to choose, God is STILL and HAS TO BE a god of justice; we CAN NOT choose our consequences once we've made the choice.

Without the Atonement, ALL of us would be placed under condemnation because we all fall short either through intents or misdemeanors.

Harsh? One small act was the imperfection forced Adam and Eve from God's presence for disobeying one simple [and seemingly harmless] commandment. God's Commandments are just that: Commandments, not suggestions.

So with all of mankind in imperfection, who or what do we turn to?

Aiding powers

Christ has provided the exit.

In order to save man from both Physical, and spiritual death, He came into this world like any normal mortal: He came as a mortal child, grew up to become a man, went through the same ordinances man needs and has gone through adversities we all face.

However, being perfect in all things, suffered for our sins in Gethsemane and died on the cross, and most importantly did He came out triumphant over Death and separation.

It is by this Grace, we are saved.

And it is by our works [however little they are] that we are JUSTIFIED.

Stay tuned....

Next week, comes the answer to another long asked question:

What happens when we die?
