Insights

Hi my 6 other happy people!





Just to let you know, keep up your encouragements and keep flooding this blog with entrys okay? Once we start, let's do it all the way to the end.







Powerful insight #1





Have you ever noticed the scales on this statue that is near the roof of the Supreme Court? The Statue that holds the scales on the right and a sword on the left? I'm going to show you an insight that I gleaned from this image.

We are creatures of God, made in the image and likeness of God. Each of us have a pair of scales within us, one that weighs goodness and one that weighs sins. Picture this, and this pair of scales measure everything that we do and at the end of the day, it shows us our dues. Some people may have done more good than others, while others may have committed more sins. How the scales would determine who goes to heaven or hell we'll leave it to God.

In the laws of physics, if we remove away one side of the weights, this would cause the scales to tip towards the heavier end and crash the whole scale! In order to counter balance this change of weights, we either remove away the other weight, or we shift the pivot which the scales balances on. Understanding this, I do want to speak of this wonderful and awesome Saviour called Jesus who tipped the scales on one side yet still made it possible for all to go heaven.

This wonderful Saviour, is able to remove away the sins component from our scales! This in fact, has given us certain hope in knowing that heaven is just around the corner and with confidence that we may enter the kingdom of God through His death and resurrection!

Of course, as I explained, in the field of physics, this would cause the scales to tip off balance and crash. Yet, being the amazing Lord He is, Jesus also assumes the role pivot that helps us balance our scales!

Now, we assume that the amount of goodness and sins we commit are a finite maximum constant amount say k1 and k2. We know that Jesus is infinite amount of goodness only otherwise written as . Mathematically speaking, Jesus has already defied the universally known law of mathematics. HE IS INFINITE.

Jesus is the pivot, He represents the turning point of our lives when we meet Him and experience Him personally! In this way, only then can He remove our sins when we know and love Him and open our hearts to Him. Naturally at the same time, Jesus, representing infinite amount of goodness and love, would fill our scales with more goodness than we can imagine.

Of course, in this case, we can't remove the other weight to counter balance the scales, therefore, Jesus must be the pivot that moves. He moves within us and places Himself in a position that tends to the infinite weight of goodness that is poured out into us. In this way, God balances us perfectly with only goodness. God shows us that it is possible to achieve balance in our lives filled with His goodness and love. It is simply God, that He works through the impossible ( a.k.a infinity ) and through the possible ( fulfilling the laws of physics ) at the same time! Isn't it amazing?

Thank God for giving me this insight to share with all of you. Praise the Lord for His infinite wisdom and His graces that enabled me to be able to understand and edify us all. I hope this would help you with your faith and journey, that in all hardships and tribulations, you will read this post and re-affirm yourselves that in God all things are possible!
