In Christian western nations, many a person basically believes that if you are sincere in your admission that Christ is our Savior, who thereby died as our substitute on the cross for our sins, that this essentially permits us to enter the eternity of Heaven, as a forgiven and redeemed soul. Perhaps this is true, but it sure doesn't seem fair, right, or just, whatsoever; and further to the point, what we know about God is that God is inerrant, omniscient, and is absolutely just in all that God judges upon. This thus reflects that as in many a thing, we have a fair amount of people who readily believe that there is somehow a way to escape justice, when, in fact, that escape only seemingly exists in this world, but in actuality, does not actually exist, at all.
It is important to comprehend and to understand that for every action there is a corresponding reaction, so that what we so think, do, and act upon has an effect upon not only our own self, but also upon others, and when we have made errors in judgment that have unduly hurt someone else, there thus has to be some sort of consequence to that, or else our place in this world is senseless, and basically then it has neither rhyme nor reason.
For a certainty, there is order within the domain of God, and if we ourselves cannot see that order, or prefer to ignore that order, we do so to our own detriment. This thus signifies that each of us should want to examine our own life, so as to understand our good purpose, and then to behave in a way and manner that is consistent to that purpose of our existence. Those then that ignore that sage advice in the present, are going to have to face up to the consequences of such a mistaken viewpoint in the future. So too, those that know better, but cannot seem to hold the line on doing the right thing, are going to have to keep trying, again and again, until they are able to display the discipline to thereby do the right thing.
It is a great shame, to actually believe that our works don't matter, for they for a certainty do matter, whether those acts are good or whether they are bad. It is well to remember, that this world, represents a testing ground, that represents a fair chance for each of us to prove our fidelity to God and to thus provide to others, the seeds and acts that will help make society a better place for our participation in it.
God does not give up on anyone or on any being, and God never will, of which, within our essence is everything that we need to draw upon so as to become that which we are surely destined to be. It is up to us, to meet that challenge, and when we fail in such, we will be provided with the fair opportunity to try again and again, until we find the promised land, fairly earned by our own volition, and often done so through the valued help of those that are wise and caring.
