Old testament - New Testament - Revelation

Have you question how God is all knowing? 

And why did he allowed things to happen?

If he is all-knowing, don't he know that Adam and Eve would sin, or David will commit adultery or he will destroy the world in the time of Noah? Or why He let bad things happen to us?

I was asking myself, why? If he know all these things, then why would he let that happen?

Genesis 1:1 says "In the beginning..." 

and in the Book of Genesis the first thing God made was "the light".

The next stories in the Old testament talks about war, wrath, plagues, adultery, idolatry... etc, all kinds of sin are there...

Then the New Testament talks about the life of Christ and the change He brought in the world.

With the New Testament, it talks about change from the Old Testament worldy ways. We can read here parables that can help us understand more about God.

We read the Bible to know and understand the Lord and His ways. A guide to a better life.

God revealed to me one thing and answered all my questions...

When He talks about the beginning in Genesis, he actually talks about a human life. When we are still a baby.. and the first thing we can see in life, as we open our eyes is light.

We grow up, we know God but how well do we know Him?

We tend to live in our worldy ways: sinful little ways of cheating, stealing and all other worldy sins.

But when we meet Christ.. our Old Testament in life will be changed to New Testament:

2 Corinthian 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

So now when you meet Christ, you are already living in the New Testament and you know what is the part of the Revelation?

That is our death. 

Everyone is afraid to die.. and that is how you can feel when you read the Revelation but when you Know Christ, you'll know its a blissful ending.

Revelation 22:20

He who testifies to these things says " Yes, I am coming soon.Amen, come Lord Jesus" The grace of the Lord be with God's people. Amen.

And there, you meet Christ in heaven when we die. 

We live temporary in this world and the purpose on living here is to go through the Old Testament and have a worldy life, meet Christ and live in the New Testament and wait for the coming of your last day on Earth where you will meet God in the revelation of His Love for us. The death of our body in the world is incomparable with the life that is waiting for us in Heaven. So why do we fear death?

Perfect Love

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love

When someone told me about this verse, I always wonder if this is actually possible.

I even wonder if there is really perfect love..

When that person left me, i told myself.."So what was that verse for anyway??"

People will come and go.. yes.. only if you do not know how to perfectly love them.

No one will leave anyone if they understand how to truly love..

As for me, I guess I never learned to really love truly..

Because perfect love is when you understand how to truly Love God.

I asked myself, when I love God do I love the way He loves me?

I say No, because I hurt people... intentionally or unintentionally I did...

so there will be an answer to my question why they will leave.. because before I do not know how to truly love.

God bless me thy wisdom to truly learn to love, just as how He loves me...
