Answer the Call

There is such a gamut of discussion on Christianity. Everyone seems to have their on renditions of what this word entails. We all seem to agree to foundational truths, but it fans out from those truths.

God has always been. There is no beginning or end to Him. If you want a picture of this just think of what has had me spellbound all my life. Space. We live in a limited earthly existance. But leave this planet and where does that place called space end? There is none. If you could travel in eternity, you would never come to its end. But then again, what if there is an end. My next question would be what’s on the other side of limited space. God is limitless. He’s everwhere. Even if you made your bed in hell He would be there.

He knows the beginning of all things we know. He knows the end. Why? Because it’s always out there to be seen by God without limits of the idea we place on time. Past, present and future are the realities we place on this earth. Jewish people have only two tenses where we have the three. The Jewish timeline is like a line that runs in continuum. Where they are at any given moment is a mark in that continuum.

God knows all that is going to happen. That’s because He spoke everything into existence. He’s omni-everything. God was not alone in His existance. He has a counsel. We need to read the Book of Enoch I. Read it all the way through. The Jewish people still consider it valid. It’s included in the Apocropha. It seems God wanted a people to have fellowship with a creation of His own making that voluntarily gives themselves to Him. So, He created man in His image. This also leds me to wonder how many men were not created in His image. To aleve any thoughts coming from that statement, I believe those who accept God’s redemption are changed over to His image now. Just like the first Adam was, which was lost. The last Adam is Jesus, who came into this world, fulfilled the Law of Moses, thereby redeeming the lost ones in the first Adam. Where the law kills, the new creation is redeemed by God’s love to never taste death of the individual that accepts Him as their Savior.

If we do not accept the gift of life, God sadly will allow you to end your existance by your own decision. He’s waiting for you confession of need for salvation. God does not condemn anyone to death. He has made a way. It’s up to us to make that pivotable decision to turn around and fall in His arms. I love my God, my Savior through Jesus’ atoning blood sacrifice. It was a one time for all sacrifice. It has covered all those who are called. You are called. Answer that call.

About JimR, Chaplain

I'm a 74-year-old guy, in October 2024, who worked in Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune for 28 years and now retired as of 31 Dec 16. I've worked in medical records, the Health Benefits Department, Billing, and the IT department and retired as the Personnel Security Manager for the hospital. I'm a musician and Corvette enthusiast. Yes, I have had two. I traded my second Corvette for a Harley Davidson Fat Boy in mid-summer 2019. Then in 2024, I traded to an HD FreeWheeler FLRT. I've already ridden the new one a thousand miles in 6 weeks. I'm also searching for a fresh new outlook on life with new spiritual insight among other things. I was ordained a minister in 20190202. I've become certified with the American Chaplaincy Association through Aidan University in June '21. I've found that with the unconditional love of my companion, Libby Rowe life is complete through God. She's a beautiful, vibrant, giving woman who gives her all in everything she puts her mind to do. She and I married on 24 July 2015. She was ordained in February 2022. She has a blog too called Under a Carolina Moon. Give it a visit.
