GOD IS GOOD And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen. JOHN 21:25 Every detail of every mans life, who has ever walked on the earth, has not impacted the world as much as the few recorded details of Jesus life. Jesus was not just a man, He was God manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). In Acts 10:38 Peter gives a very brief, yet descriptive summary of the life and ministry of Jesus. Jesus was anointed with power and with the Holy Spirit who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. He used this power to do good, not evil. This is one of the main characteristics of God and is one of the easiest ways to discern what is from God and what is from the devil. God is a good God and the devil is a bad devil. If its bad, its from the devil. If its good, its from God. Tragedy can come from three sources: God, Satan, and natural law. God has used nature to bring judgment but He is not the cause of evil. However, the New Testament believer is exempt from this punitive judgment of God since Jesus bore it for him. Satan is the source of much of the calamity that people ascribe to God. Many problems arise because people violate the natural laws that God put into motion. If a person drives recklessly and kills himself, its not God or the devil that killed him. He violated natural law and thus paid the price. It is incorrect to believe that God controls everything and therefore always has some design in tragedies. This type of thinking will lead us to ignore the devil, thereby giving him a freehand to destroy our lives. It will also cause us not to use wisdom concerning natural laws, because we will think that nothing can happen unless God wills it. We must remember that God is a good God. Pray with me; Heavenly Father, I know every good gift and every perfect gift is from you and in you there is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. I pray that all that is good, all that is blessed and all that is your perfect will comes my way. I lack no good thing and all I do prospers in the name of Jesus. ~~Pas. Fantastic Frank~~
