Why is God not landing on force to this world?
Why does He not invade it?
Like C. S. Lewis says, “Why is God landing in this
enemy-occupied world in disguise and starting a sort of secret society to
undermine the devil?”.
Could it be that He is not strong enough?
We Christians think that He is going to land on force
but we do not know when.
But I can guess why He is delaying, to give us the
chance to join Him freely.
There are people who keep asking God to interfere
openly in our world.
God is going to invade, that is true.
According to C. S. Lewis, “I wonder whether people who
ask God to interfere openly and directly in our world quite realize what it
will be like when He does. When that happens, it is the end of the world. When
the author walks on to the stage the play is over”.
There will be time when God will come to the earth.
He has given us this time to choose our side.
It is time for you to choose also, and choose wisely.
“For this time it will be God without disguise;
something so overwhelming that it will strike either irresistible love or
irresistible horror into every creature. It will be too late then to choose
your side. There will be no use saying you choose to lie down when it has
become impossible to stand up. That will not be the time for choosing: it will
be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, weather we
realized it before or not. Now, today, this moment, is our chance to choose the
right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It will not last for
ever. We must take it or leave it”, C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity.

Great post. Your faith is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Stephen. You are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteI agree, your faith definitely is inspiring. I think your posts capture humanity at its best and can turn a non-believer into a believer simply by reading. Great work!
ReplyDeleteIt is God's wish that none of us perish! I agree that His "delay" in returning is to allow all of us to choose Him. He is a God of compassion and love and He wants us all to make the wise choice. I'm so glad I already have...
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Joan
i had quiet similar question too before that why is god created bad to become an enemy and give people choice. i guess god has his own reason and everything he created always leave us mystery
ReplyDeleteGod did not create evil, Sheila. Evil is the absence of God, like dark is the absence of light. When someone is bad, like the enemy, it is because they renounce God and think they can live better on their own.
DeleteAs for giving us the choice, He wanted to create beings with free will, not mindless robots. It has caused me personally a lot of pain, but I still prefer it.
