Humanity struggles along the path of life. Religion has failed most of us. The word “God” often conjures up an image of a judgmental being who distances Himself from mankind. If we are honest with ourselves, we don’t always have the feeling that God is relevant to our everyday lives. But in truth, there is a God who wants the best life for each of us.
However, the longer time goes on with the subsequent increase of corruption in our societies, the more difficult it is to feel the personal closeness of God – that He is there for us on a real and personal basis. But, at a time when the world is experiencing so much anger, chaos, lawlessness, frustration, and such a bleak future, God’s overarching plan for humanity is more vital and critical for us to understand and apply individually than ever before.
This spiritual Garden of Eden is created by a reconciled relationship with the Father allowing His character and nature to take root in a human life (Colossians 3:4-9, 12-15). When we are set apart by truth we allow a new life to thrive, to grow and to develop within us.
The Creator can be known in a personal way, and His characteristics can be understood as beneficial (Galatians 5:22-23; 2 Peter 1:3-7). We have been given a guidebook full of virtues, values and principles that encourage positive relationships with Him and with others when practiced. Whether applied individually or nationally these lead to a promised, better future.
At Leading to Life we are curating the foundational truths and principles of the Bible that, when practiced, leads to the best life God intends for each of us.
