Humans are “awed-able”

Christ followers are invited to live in the awe of God. Because of what Jesus has done for us, we are able to daily partake of the tree of life and be in awe of God’s mercy toward us.

Open, humble hearts experience overwhelming awe as they become “partakes of the divine nature” by ever tasting and feasting on the tree of life. But trusting in the tree of the knowledge of good and evil produces human pride. “Knowledge puffs up while love builds up.”

Twenty-first century Christianity trains people to be knowledge dependent — “always learning but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.” First century Christianity trained people to live in awe of God by continually keeping their heart open to and their will surrendered to the presence of the living, resurrected Jesus. Let’s return to the awe of early Christianity. (Open your heart and search for: The Joy Of Early Christianity.)

Christianity accurately diagnoses the condition of humanity as having fallen from the likeness of God into the corruption of self-focused desires, feelings and thoughts. It has the answer for the meaninglessness that millions feel. Meaninglessness is monotonous but millions have found magnificent meaning thru meeting the Messiah — the risen Jesus!

Christians, you don’t need to remember things about God with your mind. You need to surrender to the remembrance of God’s Spirit Preaching shouldn’t train people to be preacher-dependent. It should train them to be Spirit-led.
