My Faith Being Christian

MY FAITH
Being Christian

Why God needed to come to earth as a human; conceived, born, growing up, and died in an indecent way: hung at the cross?

The
answer is because God want to save us, human, from eternal death caused
by sin that we inherit since Adam sinned first time. When God created
human, He was expecting to have a relationship with someone who is like
Him. Another God. That is Adam was another god, a created god. Just
like God wanted to have relationship with someone so did Adam, the
other god. Therefore for Adam, God created Eva. Please refer to Genesis
chapter 1.

Then it was supposed to be a nice world when and
where God enjoyed the world He created with Adam and Eva there to whom
God loved to share things. But the star, an angel namely Lucifer, fell
when he sinned against God, his Master. Lucifer wanted to be god. I
supposed he was jealous with Adam, a weak creature who did not know the
power he had as being a god. Adam did not even know he was naked!

In
his anger, because he was thrown out from heaven, Lucifer was
determined to kill Adam. And he managed to get Adam and Eva out from
Eden. Their heavenly soul were death. They now know that they were
naked and were ashamed. All the good times they had together with God
were ruined by simple sin: eating the forbidden fruit. It turned out
that the sin was not so simple as it looks like. Adam and Eva lost
their relationship with God as they betrayed His trust. It broke the
heart of God too. If I was a movie director in Holywood the scene would
show a flashback from the time when God worked out a human, exhaled His
breath to Adam, got him sleep tight to take one of his bone to build
Eva. Then the times when Adam met lion and told God that the he called
the animal lion. There should be some scene when God took Adam for th
efirst time to see the animals, trees, flowers.. Just like father and
son. God's heart must be broken when sin--a disgusting thing in the
sight of God--covered Adam. He could not let Adam and Eva stay because
they look bad, smell bad..

They were not good anymore. They
were awful. They could only come back if they are clean again. For that
God had plan. He would pay the price Himself. He set up a master plan.
He would destroy Satan and his works. Sin on Adam and Eva is like
virus. It damaged the perfection on these creature that they gave birth
a damaged person namely Cain who killed his brother. The master plan
includes taking out this virus from human nature. They must be perfect
again as it was when human was created at the first time. It is a
complicated task.

But God never wanted to wait till it's over.
He loves human so much that He could eliminate some flaws and berkenan
toward some people like Abram who preferred not to tell the truth about
his marriage than die. Or toward Jacob who tricked his brother. Or to
Moses who killed an Egyptian man. Or to Joseph who annoyed his brothers
with his dream of rulling over them. Or to David who took his loyal
man's wife and killed him. And the list goes on. Read the Bible, it's
very honest. God consider those men as great people because they
believe in Him.

And Jesus, God Himself, still had to die to pay
off the price of sin. He wants us all that He would pay that price. So,
blood is the cure for the damaged caused by the virus of sin. But it
has to be a perfect blood. A clean blood. Jesus came to earth with this
clean blood in His body as He did not come by a desire of a man but by
His own will. He also came with some teachings and revealed some
Bible's secret and His tasks was completed when He gave up His body to
be hung at the cross and let His blood be shed to earth finding it's
own way to the altar underneath. In three days He was risen and stayed
back on earth for forty days before He went up to heaven to meet His
Father and waits there till the time comes for His second return on
earth with victory in His hands. Such a marvelous notion.

Till
then, this is what I believe, that Christian should enjoy life as the
Bible has shown us. That we could move on though we don't know what's
waiting ahead just like Abraham did. We could boldly stand firm in our
faith like Daniel and his friends. We see miracles in our lives. We
should move from victory after victory. Strong and confident because we
know we are the winner through Jesus Christ the Lord. We are not
overcome by the problems of this damaged world. We smile as we look
forward to our future. And we reach others with love that overflows
ourselves from heaven. We are bright like stars. Because Christ has
paid off the price of sin that cause by Adam's fault. We are not bound
to it anymore. We are free as the eagles.

That is my faith.
