For Where did I came to the Conclusion that Jesus Christ is indeed the Only God - The Son of God

In fact many would say he is just an other human being with some extraordinary powers to heal the sick, to cast out demons and to do miracles. But he is more than that. What actually makes a mere human being like us with the same kind of flesh and blood to be called Son of The most high God and God himself in the human flesh? That's again a mystery that many won't understand and many won't agree with.

At any given point of time in the human history never or ever been a person like Jesus, We could see people doing miracles and doing things like what Jesus did, but there are many other aspects that confirm only Jesus is God and he is not a mere human being or some guru or any other kind of thoughts that many would have.

To clear this doubt, lets consider the question of what should be person like Jesus, who says he is God - Should be. To consider him as God.

1. What he said has to match with what he did.
He is the one and the only person to come alive after death - The resurrection is one single point of reference that differentiates Jesus with any other human being. Why?
Because there are prophecies about the coming messiah who would suffer and die for our sins. If Christ has not died on the Cross and was not raised from the death, we are still in our sins.

He said,

John 14:1Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

The Way to the Father

14 “Your heart must not be troubled. Believe[a] in God; believe also in Me

John 5:39-40Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

39 You pore over[a] the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, yet they testify about Me. 40 And you are not willing to come to Me so that you may have life.

John 10:30 NIV

I and the Father are one."

John 2:19 NIV

Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."

Anyone in this world can say, that he is the God - Even we could see in Mental Hospital. But there needs to be a substantial evidence and proof for what one says he is and what he is, Jesus by all means and by all ways was the only person proclaimed as God and was God. He was sinless, as like any other who professed as messiah or God, he was pure and holy, there was no part of sin in him. He live a perfect life, obeyed to the father to the point of death. No one ever did what he did, no one ever will be able to do what he did on the cross, no one will do it. He has done it for us, because he loves us. 

2. The second thing that confirms that he is the God was with the reference that other people give:

The Bible is a one story line all pointing towards the Messiah - Jesus Christ. The Bible is the single most powerful source for the reference. Each and every author writes as the Spirit inspired them in their own unique style and experience, yet the main aim and the theme never changes. Look at how Paul describes Jesus as when he went to Athens:

Acts 17:16-21Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Paul in Athens

16 While Paul was waiting for them in Athens, his spirit was troubled within him when he saw that the city was full of idols. 17 So he reasoned in the synagogue with the Jews and with those who worshiped God and in the marketplace every day with those who happened to be there. 18 Then also, some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers argued with him. Some said, “What is this pseudo-intellectual[a] trying to say?”

Others replied, “He seems to be a preacher of foreign deities”—because he was telling the good news about Jesus and the Resurrection.[b]

19 They took him and brought him to the Areopagus,[c] and said, “May we learn about this new teaching you’re speaking of? 20 For what you say sounds strange to us, and we want to know what these ideas mean.” 21 Now all the Athenians and the foreigners residing there spent their time on nothing else but telling or hearing something new.

While writing to Colossians, Paul says - 

Colossians 1:15 

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Paul himself was a persecutor of the Church and Christians. His Journey to Damascus and his conversion on the road to Damascus was an important aspect for the New Testament, as more than 50% of the new testament was written by Paul by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Now Paul's Journey towards Damascus was for a different motive, but God knows them, who searches him with the whole purpose of knowing God and to proclaim his word, God made this Paul to write his experience in knowing who the true God is:

1 Corinthians 15:9-11Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by God’s grace I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not ineffective. However, I worked more than any of them, yet not I, but God’s grace that was with me. 11 Therefore, whether it is I or they, so we proclaim and so you have believed. 

The Beauty of The Parables

We all love stories, Jesus gave us parables so that we may understand the inner meaning of it, that which is told in relation to earthly things but for Heavenly thing. He relates those people, events and circumstances where what we do here in earth matters when we go to heaven.

The Parables have one main purpose, which Jesus himself said when he was asked by the Disciples:

Matthew 13:10-17Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

Why Jesus Used Parables

10 Then the disciples came up and asked Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?”

11 He answered them, “Because the secrets of the kingdom of heaven have been given for you to know, but it has not been given to them. 12 For whoever has, more will be given to him, and he will have more than enough. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 13 For this reason I speak to them in parables, because looking they do not see, and hearing they do not listen or understand. 14 Isaiah’s prophecy is fulfilled in them, which says:

You will listen and listen,
yet never understand;
and you will look and look,
yet never perceive.
15 For this people’s heart has grown callous;
their ears are hard of hearing,
and they have shut their eyes;
otherwise they might see with their eyes
and hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts
and turn back—
and I would cure them.[a]

16 “But your eyes are blessed because they do see, and your ears because they do hear! 17 For I assure you: Many prophets and righteous people longed to see the things you see yet didn’t see them; to hear the things you hear yet didn’t hear them.

The Beauty and Majesty of God's Creation

The God Created the whole Universe.

Psalm 19:1 NIV
For the director of music. A psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Psalm 96:5 NIV
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

Psalm 8:3 NIV
When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,


The Psalm very much says about the creation of God, his majestic creation of Heavens - The Glory of God.

Psalm 104:2 NIV
The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent.


I couldn't keep my eyes from the things that we made, the World's Greatest, Highest, Largest... But God has created the Stars, Sun, Planets, The Universe - Which I could not even fathom about. He maintains it as though it were created new, he holds as it is so precious - No not even one of them was out of order. He is a Perfect God.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 NIV
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.


Isaiah 40:22 NIV
He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.

Inclination Power of his Word

Inclination Power of his Word

God's word always works, it works like a miracle. In this troubled word with lots of things to get bogged down. God's Word - Indeed it is God who enables us to listen to his word and to meditate on it, So that we may not be disappointed at the times of trouble, but happily overcome it by his Power.

The word without God is impossible.

2 Timothy 3:16-17King James Version (KJV)

16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

He was there with them who went through tough times in their lifetime, but never lost the hope. Because of this word there are millions who get enriched to do greater things. It was written when the opposition king was attacking a group of people - At the time of Moses, to a very personal struggle - At the time of David, Paul. It was written for community or group - for them what the Law is, what are the boundaries one should set in according to God's will. How to respect the fellow beings. There are personal motivational aspects also. As to how God Love without any form of condition. How one can have a personal relationship with him.

There verses have been a real helpline that people use them at the time of trouble, but what is most important is that God is always with us, So we need to ask him from our heart, as to what we need and how he can help us. Reciting is also important, we could see this in the life of Jesus.
When he was tempted at the wilderness - The Satan uses the very verses from the scripture.
Matthew 4:1-11

 for it is written,

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’

and

“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

But Jesus overcame the temptations.

There was a time in Gethsemane, when he prayed to the Father - Asking him to remove the Cup - If only you are willing. This is the aspect of Prayer asking and telling us our need.

On the Cross - Jesus cried out saying: Matthew 27:46
About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").
This way even David cried unto God in the Psalms - Psalm 22:1 NIV
For the director of music. To the tune of "The Doe of the Morning." A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me, so far from my cries of anguish?

 when the soldiers were humiliating - Jesus said to the Father to forgive them - this is the real forgiveness.

So the scripture is available for us all through the day to guide us and to help us to face different difficult situations. That we may have Hope in him. Who always works for our benefit and never for our fall. If we could put our trust in him, he will do great miracles in our lives that we once only dreamt of.

He always encourages:
Deuteronomy 31:6 NIV
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."


Isaiah 49:15 NIV
"Can a mother forget the baby at her breast and have no compassion on the child she has borne? Though she may forget, I will not forget you!


He is a compassionate God:
Matthew 9:36 NIV
When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.

He is The True Vine:
Jesus told that he is the true vine and the father is the vinedresser, then continued saying that if we abide in him we will bear much fruit, as Jesus abides in the Father.
John 15:11 NIV
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

Jesus when he spoke to his disciples about the departing to the Father's home. He said the Holy Spirit will be in you and he will guide you. But yet the Disciples were much anguish - (so are we in our troubled worldly life) - So Jesus says:
John 14:27 NIV
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

How God Inter-Links the Events In Our Life

John 16:13 NIV
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.


In my life I could link as many as Hundreds and Thousands of Events that remind of the taught or the things that I said was meaningful and have a purpose. Say for example - I taught that there was a medium through which the communication can be transferred through taught. I came to know much about it when I read a book by Nepolean Hill and the concept of the taught transformation happens in the space that fills the universe is called as Ether. I taught about the structure of the universe is as like that of our earth, So If we were to travel in any direction from the earth you would end up coming to the starting point, So is the universe(though its not exactly the same, and its not proved) - but the most similar theory that was proposed was from Thomas Friedman in the Book - A Brief History of Time - By Stephen Hawking.

The Sun which we see is not the Sun that there really is - What does this mean? I know the lightning comes before the thunder.... But in reality even the lightning comes much later than the actual even or incident. What does that mean? Well actually the Sun which we see now is the Sun that was there before 8 mins and some seconds.....(58 sec) How? because it takes the Light of the Sun ray to reach the earth that much time and hence the light is bend and what appears is the ray or beam of the Sun which was there before 8 mins.... This is so abstract because we cannot believe in what we see? So what about those stars? (might have been there for about millions and millions of years ago) So the structure of the universe in itself would have been changed over there. The empirical evidence what our scientists try to prove on those areas of universe is just an assumption, say that if there is a star at that much distance and if it could take such time to travel, we could find the space....




Peter reminds of the things that Jesus told:
Matthew 26:34 NIV
"Truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times."



The Thirty Silver Coins:
Betrayed for measly silver coins

Gen 37:26-28 ‘Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood? Come, let’s sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood.” His brothers agreed. So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.’

The anger and jealousy reached its peak and Joseph was sold and betrayed for 20 measly pieces of silver! And note also who it was that lead the betrayal – Judah! This is translated from the Hebrew name ‘Yehuda’, and it is the same name which can be translated Judas! No surprises then that Jesus, like Joseph, would be betrayed by one of those closest to him – this time for a great total of 30 silver pieces!

Matt 26:14-16 ‘Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, “What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?” So they counted out for him thirty silver coins. From then on Judas watched for an opportunity to hand him over.’

This was of course, a fulfillment of the great prophecy in Zechariah where God himself is priced at 30 pieces of silver!

Zechariah 11:13 ‘And the LORD said to me, “Throw it to the potter”—the handsome price at which they priced me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter.’

While Joseph didn’t understand it, God had other plans and would use this betrayal to exalt Joseph and through him give the means by which both Gentiles and Joseph’s own Jewish family would be saved. I’m sure you see the picture of Jesus!

The Varieties of Life

One consider life to be the most amazing gift that God can give us. In fact the first Sin Adam and Eve committed was due to the free will the choice that God gave them through Love. Many others still find difficult to see through such expressions and experiences of Life and question as to what is life and where it is, they consider living or surviving with the temporary body and moving with the muscles as life. Many have even gone further to hate life and to anticipate hatred in and around life. They are full of envy, pride, lust and fear.

But God as intended earlier to give life fully and completely, wanted us to live fully. The areas of our life where he wanted us to concentrate, improve - in short - his will for our life is ever greater, ever best, ever joyous, everlasting life.

We need to know our calling, we need to acknowledge our sins, we need to take steps of faith, we need to surrender ourselves to him. Then he can take us from that moment and led us in his way. If we try to figure out his ways through our work we will fail, if we go on our way thinking we work everything good, still we will be lost. The only way is Jesus. In him is life, in him is truth - He is Truth.

God has been experienced by many, God's experience has been shared by many. But none other than Jesus who represents the very form of God is the best expression of God. His loving kindness, his forgiveness of Sins, he guidance for life, his knowledge and wisdom, his promises, his way is the perfect way.



Hunger and Thirst for his words. He will give you food, he will become the food, his will be the food.

You will not require anything, if you truly seek him first....
Sin find no place in you, you will not fall into temptations if you pray him. You will be strengthened, you will be joyful, you will have his peace. He is in you, the greatest of all, than the one who is the world. No lie, no deception, no harm, no injustice can stand against him, he broke all the curses, he heal all the sickness, he is everlasting God, Lord - the Savior, the redeemer, the Almighty God, everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. He is at the right hand of the God.


One of the most important aspect of life is what Christ has done on Cross, for which alone - if not for any other thing we may have to believe in him, for there is no one who can take that Cross - For my Sins. He gave me life, he took the curse and death that was for me - and he gave his life for me.

Nature of God

Why is it so difficult to believe in the Concept of God?
One of the reason is the understanding who God is. His nature.

Our Nature:
Tooth for tooth.
Love who loves.
Do good, but also expect returns.
Touch feel and then decide. The illusion of life.
Compromise. Lies

Hebrews 13:8 NIV
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Trust in God

Why should we trust in God? The Psalmist would says its better than to trusting in humans.

The Bible says:
Psalm 118:8 NIV
It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in humans.

Solomon would say it is better than our own understandings:

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.


Peter and other apostles would also say,

Acts 5:29 NIV
Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than human beings!


In many other parts of the scripture it says its always better to trust in God. But when is it better to trust in him, because we trust in him when we have failed in trusting others or even ourselves. But its better that we know him for who he is and trust in him no matter what. This trust is what he expects us to have in him. Not that he could not change the circumstances, but even if the circumstances won't changes, we should never change in our trusting in him.

When is it better to take refuge in the LORD rather than trusting in humans. The answer is at all the times. It is easier sometimes to move away from trusting when things are going bad in life, but our trust should never waver.

Taking Refuge in the LORD:

Psalm 91:2 NIV
I will say of the LORD, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust."

Psalm 7:1 (AMP)

Psalm 7
An Ode of David, [probably] in a wild, irregular, enthusiastic strain, which he sang to the Lord concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.

1 O Lord my God, in You I take refuge and put my trust; save me from all those who pursue and persecute me, and deliver me,

Don't lean on your own understanding:
Proverbs 3:5-6 (AMP)
5 Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.
6 In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.

What is the most important aspect of Trusting in God?
By far the most important aspect is not anything to do with this life. But the life which is to come. 

How to pray at the times of trouble

The Heart beats fast and there is no moment to take a breath. There is no second thoughts for other things. When it is time for all of us to get to that point of anxiety it is very difficult for us to think about God. When it becomes difficult to think about God, its even more difficult to thank God.

But there are many aspects in Thinking and Thanking God at those moments. We could see how Job reacted when his wife said, "Curse God and Die"

Job 2:9-10New International Version (NIV)
⁹ His wife said to him, “Are you still maintaining your integrity? Curse God and die!”
¹⁰ He replied, “You are talking like a foolish^[a] woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”
In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.


Job even before this Job had a different perspective about God and life:

Job 1:20-21 (NIV)
²⁰ At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship ²¹ and said:

“Naked I came from my mother’s womb,
    and naked I will depart.^[a]
The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
    may the name of the Lord be praised.”

If only we put our trust in God, his Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. We will be saved from all the troubles of the world and his peace which will guard our hearts and mind.

Some verses which will help at the times of trouble:

Deuteronomy 31:8 NIV
The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

1 John 4:4 NIV
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

John 14:1 NIV
"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

John 16:33 (NIV)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Philippians 4:8 NIV
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things.
Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Matthew 17:20 NIV
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 14:29-30 (NIV)
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”


Jonah 2 New International Version (NIV)
2 1 [a]From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the Lord his God. 2 He said:

“In my distress I called to the Lord,
    and he answered me.
From deep in the realm of the dead I called for help,
    and you listened to my cry.
3
You hurled me into the depths,
    into the very heart of the seas,
    and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
    swept over me.
4
I said, ‘I have been banished
    from your sight;
yet I will look again
    toward your holy temple.’
5
The engulfing waters threatened me,[b]
    the deep surrounded me;
    seaweed was wrapped around my head.
6
To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
    the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you, Lord my God,
    brought my life up from the pit.

7
“When my life was ebbing away,
    I remembered you, Lord,
and my prayer rose to you,
    to your holy temple.

8
“Those who cling to worthless idols
    turn away from God’s love for them.
9
But I, with shouts of grateful praise,
    will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
    I will say, ‘Salvation comes from the Lord.’”
10 And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land.




Nehemiah 1 New International Version (NIV)
Nehemiah’s Prayer
1 The words of Nehemiah son of Hakaliah:
In the month of Kislev in the twentieth year, while I was in the citadel of Susa, 2 Hanani, one of my brothers, came from Judah with some other men, and I questioned them about the Jewish remnant that had survived the exile, and also about Jerusalem.
3 They said to me, “Those who survived the exile and are back in the province are in great trouble and disgrace. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.”
4 When I heard these things, I sat down and wept. For some days I mourned and fasted and prayed before the God of heaven. 5 Then I said:

“Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. 7 We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses.
8 “Remember the instruction you gave your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the nations, 9 but if you return to me and obey my commands, then even if your exiled people are at the farthest horizon, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen as a dwelling for my Name.’
10 “They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 11 Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.”
I was cupbearer to the king.





Mark 14:32-42New King James Version (NKJV)
The Prayer in the Garden
32 Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”  33 And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.  34 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.  36 And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”
37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?  38 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.  40 And when He returned, He found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
41 Then He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.  42 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”
 

The Aspect of Life After Death - Everlasting Life

Jesus said, in John 10:10 (NASB)
¹⁰ The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and ^[a]have it abundantly.

John 14:19 NIV

Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live.   The First Adam Sinned, as Paul says in Romans 5th Chapter. With one man's sin how can we all be Justified? we as humans may sin against God or we think we may not, but the fact is that we all have sinned in one or the other way, as long as his mercy and grace is abundant we may not realize that we are sinners. God has also gave us his son Jesus, through whom we may all be Justified as Clean and Pure and Holy(though we ourselves are not) by his Blood and Sacrifice on the Cross. Paul says that Jesus is also one man who made that thought of man as a sinner into complete opposite, from which we also have eternal life rather than death for our sins.     Romans 5:12-21 (NASB)12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 for [a]until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a [b]type of Him who was to come. 15 But [c]the free gift is not like the transgression. For if by the transgression of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. 16 The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression [d]resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions [e]resulting in justification. 17 For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ. 18 So then as through one transgression [f]there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness [g]there resulted justification of life to all men. 19 For as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, even so through the obedience of the One the many will be made righteous. 20 [h]The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21 so that, as sin reigned in death, even so grace would reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.   There are many world views about life after death and the eternal life. How is it possible to have a life after death? will we be continuing with our body as the same as how we are now?   The answer is simple, Jesus did not much say about how that life is going to be, rather he said - He has come that we may have it, so its very important to believe in him and what he says rather than questioning in his gifts. Just like how he obeyed to the point of death, like how the miracle of the water turning into wine happened.   The world in which we live in has wired our consciousness and makes us think that this life is just once and even more thoughts like, this is just one step closer to becoming like Gods.. The first step could be any other living organism, like plants, animals etc. now that we are humans we are in the higher level in the hierarchy. This concept seems to be very logical, since we are live in the generation which kind of believe in the evolution. So, as the process goes on and on. But there are many fallacies in the argument. There is no point of Judgment for the Sins - If one were to just grown in the order in the hierarchy there is no point of condemnation for the sins he committed, there will be no purpose for the life which he is living now, since he will be anyhow becoming like God will make him great and good.     The other view is we will be Justified for our things and if our good deeds exceed our wrong deed we will be in heaven and if not the other way.       The Christian View of Life After Death - The Everlasting Life   Justification by Faith and not for our works: Faith in Jesus Christ alone is necessary for eternal life.   Those who believe in Jesus Christ and his words. They believe in Resurrection of Life. As Paul says :   Philippians 3:21 (NASB)21 who will transform [a]the body of our humble state into conformity with [b]the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.    Philippians 3 New American Standard Bible (NASB) The Goal of Life Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the [a]false circumcision; 3 for we are the true [b]circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh, 4 although I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else has a mind to put confidence in the flesh, I far more: 5 circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the Law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless. 7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8 More than that, I count all things to be loss [c]in view of the surpassing value of [d]knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, [e]for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 9 and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith, 10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and [f]the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death; 11 [g]in order that I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. 12 Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on [h]so that I may lay hold of that [i]for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15 Let us therefore, as many as are [j]perfect, have this attitude; and if in anything you have a different attitude, God will reveal that also to you; 16 however, let us keep [k]living by that same standard to which we have attained. 17 Brethren, join in following my example, and observe those who walk according to the pattern you have in us. 18 For many walk, of whom I often told you, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ, 19 whose end is destruction, whose god is their [l]appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things. 20 For our [m]citizenship is in heaven, from which also we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who will transform [n]the body of our humble state into conformity with [o]the body of His glory, by the exertion of the power that He has even to subject all things to Himself.      End of Sufferings and Pain: Revelation 21:4 NIV He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."     Eternal life is a Gift of God: We cannot create by ourselves anything, but God has numbered our hairs in our head - Written our names in his palm, we are apple of his eye. He knew us and has plans for us even before our birth. Romans 6:23 NIV For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
