Ever wondered why Christ Agreed to suffer and die for you?

Ever wondered why it is that Christ agreed to come unto the earth live as man do do thirty three years and in the end allow himself to be subjected to the most unfortunate and unforgiving inhumane treatment and death ever imagined and carried out?

As is shown the Gospel, the reason for such a death was his Father's and his own personal love not just for mankind but for you who is now reading.
In Romans we are told for God so loved the world that he gave up his only begotten son to die for it.
The obvious reason the bible gives is love. In deed it is the prime reason but does it stop there.
No. The other more interesting reason for this is justice.
It is written that sin entered the world through one man and through sin we man reap death.  Romans 3:23 sums it all up in that it reminds each and every Christian that the mercy he got from Christ's death in his stead is actually undeserved. It was carried out because we who are born of Adam are by default sinful. But God being just chose that we be not wiped off the face of the earth but be first offered a fair chance and time for us to have a short  at his love and the eternal life he set for us in the beginning. More over the Devil had also sinned in that he converted Gods right to rule. So we are not the only players here.
The book of Job shows this clearly. Consider the reason behind Job's suffering. The angel Lucifer or Sameza disputes that Job is faithful for no other reason but because he knows that God protects the just against pain.
God let Lucifer try his luck to prove this and in the end Job's love for God is vindicated and the devil is proven wrong. Man can love God more his own comfort.
By leaving the comfort of heaven and living among man in perfection, Christ proved to the Devil Lucifer that Adam the perfect man could have lived perfectly had he chose to do so. In other words God's Justice towards Adam is just and indeed fair.
It also proves in our eyes that we can do it too.

In short: Christ death is more than a buy back. It shows you a way in which if u so wish you can live.
Praise Jehovah.

Can Revelations 21:4 be believed?

From Revelations 21:4 we read And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5. And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Can all these be true?
Before we answer the above question let us first ask ourselves one simple question. Can it be that the above words spoken by God himself could be true?
To validate the above words we need to look at the following.

Who spoke these words
The promise above was made by non other but Jesus Christ. Prince of all of heaven and the Son of God. In John 1:1~3 we learn that he is God's spoke man and in Genesis 1:26 Christ is hinted along side God in the design and creation of man. And again in the four Gospels he is shown as not only God's only Son but a faithful one at that.
In a number of passages Christ is shown as Jehovah's champion warrior and principal defender. The book of Jude and that of Daniel show him carrying out his fathers will down to the letter.
Unlike most man Christ proved himself loyal even to his own death. The Gospels show in detail his power. The very power he chose not to use even when his life was being taken from him. .Not many of us and maybe even angels would use that much restrain.
Why then would you not believe the promise as uttered by Christ. Such a faithful person?

Be heartened. Christ made the promise at Revelation 21:4   on Jehovah's behalf. It shall surely come to pass.
Praise Jehovah.

Praise Jehovah

For a time, I have increasingly found it difficult to go on being Christian because of my own personal failures and those of my fellow Christian brothers and sisters.
It took me a chat with a young non JW Christian girl to understand and perceive the value of what I lost in my life while I was busy rebelling against Jehovah because of failures I saw in my fellow Jehovah's witnesses life.
In doing so I ended up discouraged and hurt. My dispaire grew as I saw my life useless in light of being unable to provide for my family and being a constant nuisance to my relatives and friends.
My perception of life darkened every day and I constantly felt it more viable for me to die than to live and waste Jahs time.
My eyes were not on the Christ. As such it became easy for me to forget that Christ had walked my path. Peter had walked it too and as impossible as it was he finished it and is today among the twenty four elders ruling the heaven with Christ.
Christianity is not easy. It is hard way of life and it is not every day that Jehovah will answer your prayers the way you want them answered. Unfortunately once you have heard God's word you are compelled to change and know him at deeper level than usual.
I have grown from my 10yr old life struggles. It took me a 17 yr old non Jehovah's witnesses Christian child to do that.
Praise Jehovah.
