Why is his standard so impossible in your eyes? Don't you know that true riches grow up from the ground? He's calling us to be just like him, or atleast that's the only thing that really makes sense. You create so many atheists when you don't em answers just questions. Christ had answers, don't you think? I think those answers never left this world, they're just in the dark.

Far be it for me to state that I have the potential to meet the standards of Jesus Christ. I very much desire to be like Him, but I also know that His sacrifice was that of such great importance and His life was lived with such grace that I would never have the potential to compare myself to Him.

Oh I know how you feel on this one.  Who can compare??

If we were to see Him face to face, we would be nothing but a pile of molecules on the ground in front of His holiness...

It's the Holiness of God and His Son that most people cannot see or comprehend these days....

Be encouraged my friend....we will see each other very soon!:hf:

Original Message God knows us better than we know ourselves - as any parent would strive to know and understand the child they love. However, it goes further than that - God is aware of every thought, every feeling, every tendency, every sensibility, and every propensity that makes us who we are. God knows our hearts, so any attempt to trick or fool God into thinking we are someone we are not is futile and pointless. In the end, it will not matter what your fellow brothers and sisters think of you - because they do not know you like God does.

God wants us to embrace His love, and allow it to flow through us in order to serve as a testament to others of the power and strength that it yields. He sent His Son to show us the way, and to guide us through His example. Jesus' example is one that is impossible to achieve, but it gives us a standard that we can strive for - knowing that we do so with God's loving encouragement and approval. If we should falter in this endeavor, we do so with the knowledge that God knows we can do better - or else we would not have the capability of self-reflection and the potential to better ourselves.

Although the relationship between a parent and their child in human terms does not fully encompass the understanding of God's relationship with each of us, it is still the foundation upon which we can grow to love God. If we should wonder how best to please our heavenly Father, we can see that any parent would want their children to love each of their brothers and sisters, and to keep them safe from falling away from the family. After all, it is the child that needs the validation of their parent, not the other way around.
