New Heart English Bible "There shall be no more there an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child shall die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed. Whoever lives to be a hundred years old will be thought of as young. He desires fellowship with and worship from mankind.

God out of his great love for sinful mankind has provided for man's salvation and the means of entrance into heaven and the presence of God. God cares for all mankind irrespective of who they are and what they have done or even think of him. This is sometimes spoken of as the providential care of God. God is long suffering and patient " He is also known as a God of patience and consolation, Romans God is also good and it is the "goodness of God that leadeth thee to repentance" Romans 2.

God is a God of order. Read the account of the Lord Jesus bringing order and stability in to the life a "certain man" in Luke 8. God would also have order in national life as well as family life too - 1 Peter 2. It is the family as well as the nations that God has instituted for mans well being. At this point read God's thoughts on rebellion in 1 Samuel Finally God is Holy Hebrews 7. It is important to note that God cannot sin and neither can He lie Titus 1. There are many things that can be said about the character and person of God.

Only by reading the Scriptures for ourselves will we find out. Let us read the Scriptures for ourselves 1 Timothy 4. It is the age old question asked by Job, a man in the Old Testament, about years ago. The book of Job in the Bible is full of questions.

Many have believed in an afterlife. Last year London hosted two exhibitions pertaining to men who were convinced of an afterlife that they or theirs made elaborate preparation for it. I refer to Qin Shi Huang and his terracotta army at the British Museum and Tutankhamen and his treasures of gold at the Millennium dome. They lived at separate times, were separated by many miles and lived in different civilisations but both men and there have been thousands others like them had sophisticated preparation made for the afterlife.

Man has sought a utopia, a paradise throughout the ages. It may be that he seeks it on this earth but he is aware that even if he finds it he cannot ever hope to dwell there forever for he is subject to death. Whatever their views of the afterlife one thing is clear from the discoveries at Xian, and on the west bank of the Nile at Luxor, that these men believed that there was such a thing.

Thoughts - The Quiet Corner

It is modern man who, largely, has rejected the concept and the reality of an afterlife. In so doing he has also rejected the existence of God and the need for accountability to a higher being. And yet man, in general, has always sought God. Whether he thought God was the sun, or the moon, or the stars, or the rain or even that he didn? The Bible talks of people in Greece worshipping the unknown God. Some have raised great monuments of sacrifice to appease the god that they worshipped. I am thinking of Chichen Itza from the Mayan civilisation located in Mexico.

Some have offered vegetables, others animals, some have even offered fellow human beings. Primitive man did this and so have men from quite advanced civilisations. Appreciation of a deity, or a god, is not the domain of monkeys whose limbs work in a similar way to ours. They do not take a pile of stones, form an altar, make a fire and slay a fellow animal and offer this to its god. It is mankind that has done this. No matter how clever man becomes or his society becomes there is still a desire for things other than those that he can see, smell, taste, touch and hear.

That is because there is a spirit in man as the book of Job chapter 32 2 lets us know. It is powerful men like Qin Shi Huang who have made elaborate preparation for the afterlife down through the years. God says that there is an afterlife. He does not call it by that name for He speaks of eternity and eternal life. He is the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity 3. It was His Son who said, 'I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish' 4. God says that the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord 5. As a gift it is not the realm of the healthy, wealthy or wise alone.

It is offered to anyone and everyone, as God is always fair and just 6. It is not something that I can purchase, for which I can do the preparation and yet I am to be prepared for what lies beyond death. It was the Lord Jesus who paid the price for sin when He died at Calvary. God was never satisfied with all those animal sacrifices that were offered in the Old Testament. And yet each one pointed to the time when His Son would offer the perfect sacrifice that satisfied and appeased God. He gave His life to ransom mine. Look at the nails and the crown of thorns for God has never forgotten them but look beyond them to see that men did not take His life but He laid it down 7.

I cannot plead for justice before God. My only plea is mercy for God to remove my sins 8 and make me fit for the eternal life that He alone offers. I need that sacrifice. Then all that is to be done is to accept what the Lord Jesus has done and prepared for me and accept the gift of eternal life. Refusal to accept the gift for whatever reason means that there can be no home in heaven.

There is no need for elaborate preparation. Everything that needs to be done to secure eternal life was done years ago at Calvary. All God asks of me is to believe and receive and eternal life is mine. In this very strange time of panic in the financial sector of the whole world, we want to point you to "The Rock" on which your life can be based.

In the Bible when Simon Peter, one of the disciples, answered the Lord's question as to who people said He was - replied: Jesus replied "On this Rock I will build my church. The events at Calvary's cross were always God's plan - don't think for a moment that Jesus was overtaken by events.

He said "No man takes my life from me, I lay it down of myself and will take it again" 2 Jesus rose from the dead, proving to us that God Almighty had accepted His sacrifice. Simple, childlike faith in what Jesus has done for YOU and an admission by you to God that you cannot do anything about the problem of your sin yourself, will result in your future being secure with God in heaven regardless of what happens here.

You can then begin to "Lay up treasure in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there will your heart be also. John 10 v 3: Matthew 6 v 4: It is thought that Saul was born about 2 a. His family were most likely wealthy as they had purchased Roman citizenship; the cost at the time being drachma and 1 drachma being a days pay. That means that the ordinary citizen would have to save all their earnings for a year and a half.

Something most would find impossible to do. Saul was thus already amongst the elite of his generation and supposedly graduated with honours. His intellect is unquestionable; he spoke Greek, Latin and Hebrew, three very difficult languages. His epistles contain quotations from several philosophers. Physically he wasn't much to look at.

Paul himself in 2 Corinthians He doesn't refute the description. He rose rapidly to a position of authority amongst the Pharisees, at the time of the stoning of Stephen, which was three years after Christ's crucifixion, Acts 7: Paul himself states in Galatians 1: And that took some doing amongst the Pharisees who were the strictest sect amongst the Hebrews. They had expanded the 10 commandments to and in addition had a list of 1, things not to do.

As an example they were forbidden to spit on the Sabbath in case the spittle disturbed the dust and it could be construed as cleaning. Likewise their women were forbidden to look in a mirror on the Sabbath incase they spotted a grey hair and absent-mindedly plucked it out which could be classed as cleaning themselves - presumably they didn't wash on the Sabbath either.

So Saul had achieved high rank amongst this very strict sect and had been given the commission of seeking out Christians and punishing them.

He took to his task with great enthusiasm. And hailing men and women committed them to prison". Ironically in causing the Christians to flee he helped to spread the Gospel, for Acts 8: So perhaps God was using Saul even then? He answers, "Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy Saints at Jerusalem".

After the stoning of Stephen when Saul asked the high priest for a warrant to allow him to persecute the Christians in Damascus they granted his request straight away, such was his authority. A thoroughly unpleasant young man who you certainly would not want to meet. Paul later describes himself as being the greatest of sinners, yet as Saul he would not have agreed with this description, for Saul regarded himself as a fervent upholder of the commandments, and it was this fervour, his self righteousness that was an offence to God.

The self-righteous are as devoid of true righteousness as the unrighteous. The major difference between the two is the unrighteous sinner acknowledges his unrighteousness but the self-righteous denies it. The unrighteous knows he is a sinner, is ashamed and admits his need of the grace of God. The self-righteous boasts he is a saint and is proud of what he thinks he is and declares his sufficiency through works and merit. The unrighteous desires to be better; the self-righteous believes he could not be better. The parable of the Pharisee and the Publican in Luke Paul admits in Philippians 3: As Saul he made seven boasts: The tribe that joined Judah in the reconstituted Israel following the death of Solomon.

Saul gloried in his denominational ancestry. The epitome of what the pure should be. Finally, he boasted that nobody could rightly accuse him of breaking ANY of Gods commandments. A self-righteous fool indeed. In Saul's mind his persecution of the Christians was his duty as a custodian of the Torah. His offence at the Christian message was not the affirmation of Jesus' messiah-ship, but the attribution to Jesus of a saving role, which robbed the law of all its value in the matter of salvation.

Saul was violently hostile to the Christian faith, followers of 'The Way' as the early Christians called themselves , because of the importance which he attached to adherence to the law as the way to salvation. His persecution of the Christians was venomous and he laid waste to their church and pursued them unto death. Yet through Gods saving grace he was shortly to become patient, kind, enduring, self-sacrificing and a missionary to the gentiles.

Let us return to the stoning of Stephen in Acts 6: Saul heard these words and was unmoved, 'his heart was not pricked'. Notice that during the stoning Saul 'looked after the coats' he was much too much above soiling his hands himself. So here we have Saul, a self-righteous bigot from a privileged background, well educated, a man of position and power. Respected by his own kind, feared by others. He had everything going for him, a glittering career laid in front of him. When Saul set off on the road to Damascus every circumstance of his life was against him becoming a Christian.

He had been reared as a Pharisee steeped in the Jewish religion, an avowed enemy of Christ, he had heard the Gospel message and his heart had not been moved, he was not seeking salvation - he thought he already had it through his observance of the law and he was actively engaged in eliminating 'The People of the Way'.

Saul had no desire to become a Christian but God had other plans for him. The details of Saul's conversion can be read in Acts 9 verses 1 to What could have wrought such a dramatic and immediate change in such a despicable man? Nothing less than, as he attests himself, he saw Christ resurrected in the Glory. Nothing else could have caused him to give up everything he had - he lost his job and the power and status that went with it; he lost his family and friends - as Pharisees they would have cut him off completely, they would have had nothing to do with a Christian never mind one who preached to the gentiles.

He turned his back on everything that the day before had been the entire fabric of his life, his entire way of life. Nothing less than seeing Christ resurrected could have kept him steadfast to his new life when he became Paul. We might think we sometimes have a hard time as Christians but Paul underwent so much more.

He spent the rest of his life travelling and spreading the Gospel, he did not live off those he visited he paid his own way as a tent maker. During the next thirty years he was stoned, shipwrecked three times, flogged with thirty-nine lashes on five occasions, beaten with rods three times, imprisoned at least twice and spent most of the time in inhospitable countryside in fear for his life. See II Corinthians, Chapter 11 versus 23 to 31 for a full account. Yet through all this, his faith never faltered, his message never altered.

For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3 vs 23 The wages of sin is death. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6 vs 23 If God could save one such as Saul, which he did: It's a quote from the Bible, written a long time ago. God was explaining that life can seem very futile. We are sure the description is a good one for what we are told is the current "Credit crunch" or perhaps even better a definition of inflation.

This is what we see so often around us, it amounts to selfishness and a total disregard for God, His laws and guidelines or even the norms of society.

You would think that the Creator could be relied upon to give advice to the creature but so many of us think that we can "go it alone" "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and your neighbour as yourself" - Matt ch. This is a stunning verse and the Lord Jesus Christ put it forward as the best, most successful way to live. Maybe you have tried lots of things and been disappointed.

Perhaps you think you know what the Bible has to say. God had the Bible written to guide us through life, and to tell us about the great sacrifice His Son made in coming here to live as a perfect man. So that He could die on the cross as a perfect man. To take away the sin of the world, so that those who believe on him and trust in Him could be made perfect. Why would He do that? Because He loves those who have done wrong to be made right, and wants them to be in heaven with Him.

Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? The teaching of the wise is a fountain of life, To turn aside from the snares of death. The path of life leads upward for the wise That he may keep away from Sheol below. Or where were the upright destroyed? As they were going along and talking, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire which separated the two of them.

And Elijah went up by a whirlwind to heaven. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed,. Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? The Jews said to Him, "Now we know that You have a demon Abraham died, and the prophets also; and You say, 'If anyone keeps My word, he will never taste of death.

Do you believe this? So the LORD did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the sons of Israel, not one died. Pharaoh sent, and behold, there was not even one of the livestock of Israel dead. But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.
