The Secret of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
I seen somewhere on TV that many people were commiting suicide in Japan and all around the world. They even said that it was an “epidemic” in Japan. I also read somewhere that Psychiatrists are the #1 profession with the highest suicide rate in the world.
Why are so many people killing themselves? Why do some people not have any hope?
I believe it’s because they don’t believe in God or have lost faith in God.
Look at Psychiatrists for instance. I’ve talked to a few in my life over the years and the ones I talked to have no belief in God and pretty much sum everything up to “Freudian theories of the unconscious mind and the defense mechanism of repression”.
Now, I think Freud was on to something because we all have been hurt thousands of times by people making fun of us or getting blamed for something we didn’t do and many people had even worse things happen to them like being raped or molested by someone who we thought cared about or loved us. But without God there is no true Love that gives us hope.
Love is the secret to a happy life. The Love I am talking about is not something that can be made. People loosley throw around the phrase “Make Love” You cannot make True Love. True Love can only be recieved and given.
The Bible says that “God is Love”. So, if God is Love then the only way to recieve Love is to recieve God. And the only way to recieve God is through Jesus Christ. Because the Bible says, Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. No man can come unto the Father (God) but by Jesus Christ.
The Bible says
Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, it does not boast, It is not proud, It is not rude, It is not self-seeking, It is not easily angered, It keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.Love bears all things, believes all things,
hopes all things, endures all things.Love never ends.
L o v e N e v e r F a i l s.
Corinthians 13 : 4 - 8
Immagine a world if everyone practiced that kind of Love! How many people would be killing themselves if they had someone that Loved them like that?
Well God Loves you that much and more.
Now, if you’re thinking about suicide, I hope that this helps you and gives you hope. But I must warn you that there is no turning back from it. The Bible says that without Jesus Christ we will be Judged by God by the Law (10 Commandments). And it also says that The cowardly, unbelieving, vile, murderers, sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, idolaters, liars, adulterers, prostitutes, homosexual offenders, thieves, the greedy, drunkards, slanderers, and swindlers will all be cast into the lake of fire for eternity.
Yeah, that’s a tuff pill to swallow!
That is why it took one man “Jesus Christ” to live a perfect life without sin and take our punishment that we deserved because of the things (sins) we have done. Now we simply give our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ and believe that God Raised Him from the dead and trust in Him. Then every sin will be washed away like we never sinned and we can spend eternity with God!
If that isn’t Love then I don’t know what to tell you. But I do know for a fact that God is real. You may think you cannot see him but you actually see him every second of every day. God calls himself “I Am” which simply means God is everything. God made everything out of himself. This is how God can be everywhere at once (Omnipresent).
This is how God can resurrect billions of dead bodies in a twinkling of an eye. Because God Is in everything and everything is in God.
God does Love you! All He wants is for us to Love Him and be His family and for His family to Love each other and treat each other nice. That is why He gave us the 10 Commandments. If you Love someone you’re not going to lie, cheat, steel or kill them. You are going to tell them the truth and give to them and help them.
When a man loves a woman, he does things for her and buys her things and helps out etc… True Love is unselfish. Selfishness is the root of all sin.
