"which from the beginning were eyewitnesses" - The God more than our Death




Shinto Shrine in North East of Tokyo

The God more than our Death

According to Christ Jesus, we have to fear the God more than our death.

It means that our death is not the end of our existence.  After our death, the God can allow our souls to enter Heaven or put them into the hell.  To take serious this word of Christ Jesus is the first step in our faith in Christ Jesus.

Christ Jesus also said that those who were rejected to enter Heaven would gnash and roar, trying to enter Heaven with violence.

To believe Christ Jesus is to take this word of Christ Jesus.  And, those who are not admitted into Heaven must repent so gravely.  It is as if a man who has lost a big chance to make his fortune, accumulate big wealth or achieve big success due to his carelessness should regret his mistakes so violently.

So, we had better fear the God more than our death in this world, since the God has power to allow us to get into Heaven or send us down into the hell after our death.

However there is no scientific proof that Heaven and the hell exist.  Even we cannot explain how our minds are generated in our brains and what our souls are in terms of science.  Not only that, we cannot tell sufficiently and scientifically what the God is.  But one thing sure is that each of us has a mind and can think and feel.  Or more fundamentally, no one doubts that he or she really lives now.  So, we have to admit that the God exits and believe the words of Christ Jesus, since even we, far little existence compared to the God and Christ Jesus, are now living with a mind and a heart.  What great power and mind the God and Christ Jesus have!

The God is the source of everything that exists.  Conversely, as we exist, the God must exist.  And, there is no wonder that Heaven and the hell exist, since Christ Jesus said so while Christ Jesus is apparently far closer to the God than us.

And Christ Jesus said to fear the God more than our death.

Lu:1:1: Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
Lu:1:2: Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
Lu:1:3: It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
Lu:1:4: That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
