But That Is Not Fair

I have heard over and over “but what about the people that have never heard about God, is He going to send them to hell? Whose fault is it that they have never heard?” God is not as uncaring as people would have us believe. Their argument for the lack of caring of a loving God is addressed in this passage from Paul to the Romans:

When outsiders who have never heard of God’s law follow it more or less by instinct, they confirm its truth by their obedience. They show that God’s law is not something alien, imposed on us from without, but woven into the very fabric of our creation. There is something deep within them that echoes God’s yes and no, right and wrong. Rom 2:14-15 Message

This passage provided an ah-ha moment years ago. What it says is the law of God is a part of the fabric of all mankind, written into our very essence of our being by a wonderful and loving God. How does this sound to you? My thought, before I was even born, God has provided a foundation to my makeup. One of the first things we crave right out of the womb is a loving touch. We reach out and seek it. It is ingrained into our makeup just like the need for nourishment and comfort. God’s love is a part of everyone’s makeup right from the start.

So, does this mean that we can do whatever we want and not have to gather together to worship our Father in Heaven? My question is this; why would you not want to gather and celebrate? Another question I have; it is harder to deny the presence of a loving God in the fabric of our makeup so why fight it? To ignore the fact that everything on this earth is the creation of God is like ignoring the air we breath. We need God in our lives as much if not more than the very air we breath. God takes care of His children; all of them. There are those out there who either deny or ignore their Heavenly Father but He does not deny or forget them. Our Father in Heaven wants the best for us, He wants to be in relationship with us; is that a bad thing?

This Sunday we explore the message for us in Romans and also in Jeremiah. This Sunday we explore the richness of God and celebrate the oneness of His creation. Service starts at 10:30 MST and can be seen live on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MainAvenueFellowship/) or viewed afterwards on our website (www.mainavefellowship.blogspot.ca).
