Man'S Ordained Way Of Life

Since it is God who gives to all life, breath, and all things. And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their pre-appointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and have our being, as also some of your own poets have said, 'For we are also His offspring.' Should we not all therefore have the same guidelines as to how we can find Him: Since there is one and only one way of life?The root cause of the gross dissensions that exist among human beings in general is the refusal and rejection of the fact that there are only two distinctive pathways in our temporary existence here on earth. One pathway is called the way of life and blessings, which is ordained and described by Jesus Christ as the narrow gate and difficult way, and the other pathway is the way of death and curses, which is described as the wide gate and broad way which leads to destruction.The sad reality is that, only a few will find the way that leads to life, but the majority will go through the wide gate which leads to destruction. Walking in either path is a decision every individual has to make on their own volition, but what is of utmost importance for everyone to know is that we all began our physical journey walking through the broad way which leads to death.This broad way and wide gate emanates from the kingdom of darkness, where there are no spiritual guidelines, thus giving everyone the liberty to walk after the imagination of their own heart, and do what seems right in their own eyes, under the disguise of freedom.In contrast, the narrow and difficult way, emanates from the kingdom of light from whence we receive specific instructions and guidelines on how to follow this path which leads to life. Now the freedom of choice that we all have as human beings is the freedom to choose between the straight and narrow way which leads to life, or choosing the wide and broad way which leads to destruction.It is therefore imperative to note that, the liberty and freedom which the majority of people are clamoring for as their basic human rights do not emanate from the kingdom of light, but from the kingdom of darkness. Because in the kingdom of light there are stipulated guidelines on how man should live. But the sad condemnation is that, the light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.Now in order for one to have a good understanding of the reality and practicality of the these two divergent path ways, one will have to start from the very foundation of the world, where it is stated that, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Now the main objective why God created the heavens and the earth it is for it to be inhabited; "For thus says the LORD, Who created the heavens, Who is God, Who formed the earth and made it, Who has established it, Who did not create it in vain, Who formed it to be inhabited: " I am the LORD, and there is no other" But despite the fact that God originally created the earth to be inhabited, we nevertheless find that: "The earth was (became) without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep." So what could have caused the earth which was formed to be inhabited and beautifully created to become without form and void and darkness to be covering the face of the deep, when originally it was such a delight for the morning stars that they all shouted for joy?
