How to be great in God’s eyes…we are just babies in diapers before our creator…
From the day we are born we learn how dependent we are on others. When I child is born the child is born with no knowledge of good or evil. The child must learn how to tell the truth and not participate in a lie. Most learn how to lie before they learn to tell the truth unless they are raised by parents who teach them the knowledge of good and to shun evil. Adam and Eve when they ate from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, instantly knew all there was to know about good and evil. However, when they had children, Cain and Able, who did not eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they too were born with a blank page or without any knowledge of good or evil.
Adam and Eve had to teach their children right and wrong. Parents today who have children must teach their children to have morals, virtues, faith, and good ethics or they will have no knowledge of good but only the evil they experience from the power of a lie. Would it have been great to never have heard a lie? We would have only known the truth, and knowledge which was good concerning the truth. We would have no knowledge of evil. We are truly just babies in diapers before our Creator. Think about this…our Creator created the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Everything we know was created by our Creator and we as little children have to go to our maker and ask?
Jesus the Christ is the Truth. Listen…to what Jesus told Thomas…Joh 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus will as a dad; help his children who practice truth and handle the truth right. Jesus says, Mat 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Do you want to know how to live your life right? Do you want to know how to feed yourself right? Do want to know how to raise your family right? Jesus says, if hunger for right more than food then He will fill your ways. Do you want to be right with God and your fellow man?
Mat 18:1-5 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receives me.
Luk 9:46-48 Then there arose a reasoning among them, which of them should be greatest. 47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their heart, took a child, and set him by him, 48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall receive this child in my name receiveth me: and whosoever shall receive me receiveth him that sent me: for he that is least among you all, the same shall be great.
Will you receive your children in Jesus’ name? Yes or no. Adopt a child in Jesus’ name? Will you teach them, Jesus Christ died on the cross and was raised from dead and to love your neighbor as yourself to your children too? Yes or no. Jesus said if you do, then you will have both the Father and the Son. Jesus promises to those who are faithful in the truth these words, Joh 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Father, we are babies in diapers trying to feed and take care of ourselves, please have mercy and meet our deepest needs, help us to live our lives right with and raise our children in the care of Jesus Christ, in Jesus of Nazareth’s name (Acts 22:6-7) Amen.
