Dr. Dallas Willard wrote "The most important thing in your life is not what you do; it’s who you become." According to Jesus' own word, the only way that truly happens is when we are born from above. Jesus did not mean some kind of ephemeral, philosophical, state of mind, he meant that we need to be supernaturally reborn through the Spirit, empowered by his sacrificial, vicarious death and resurrection. This is the Gospel he, himself, prescribed.
But that presupposes that life is precious - not just to the individual, but to the One who started it all. The sad fact of the matter is that neo-darwinianism, based solely on naturalist phenomenon, will always render one towards nihilism: nothing matters. That is the opposite of good news. Who can - literally - live with that?
In this fourth installment of The Fourth Word, Rick discusses the topic of the specialness, holiness, and consequence of life that began with God. You are not an accident or an abberation: you are prized and preferred by Majesty and are uniquely designed and lovingly created for His purpose! Don't forget to check out the special links below!
