The Bible was made for humankind, not humankind so made for the Bible / by kevin murray

There are considered to be many reasons why the Bible exists and why it was so created, of which the main reason a multitude of people believe that this is so, consists of the rather straightforward viewpoint that humankind has access to the Bible so as to avail themselves of it and to thereby to take in the sacred word of God for their betterment and for wisdom.  While this is certainly true, it is important to note that the primary purpose of the Bible is to fundamentally create for humankind a roadmap so that we can find ourselves returning in good faith, back to that which created us in the first place.  Therefore, the Bible exists not only as the word of God, for our betterment and thereby the betterment of society, but also as the means for us to know God, and to thereby to have us to understand that God wants us to search for Him, in the conscious recognition, that God also has a sacred duty, in turn, to search diligently for each one of us, so as to make a noble quest for each one of us, to see that all of his lost sheep, successfully find their way back to the fold and sanctuary that only God is so able to provide for all.

 

None of us are ever alone, and none us, no matter how abandoned we may feel, or the emptiness thereof, are ever actually outside of the domain of God.  Further to the point, no matter how harsh we are in our own judgment of what we have done to our own destruction or to others, God never abandons a single soul and never will.  Remember this well, that God has gifted each one of us with free will, so that we can freely pursue whatever it is that we so desire to pursue, and of which, God knows, that by providing us with this gracious gift, that we are susceptible to all sorts of questionable enticements; yet, also knowing that we are well able to do all sorts of noble and good deeds by virtue of having that free will, in our freely exercising of it. 

 

So too, no matter how lost we may feel, or how confused we may be, the Light that so represents God, is ever eternal, and ever to be fully ours, if we only sincerely turn to it.  Yet, even those that are despairing of their own salvation should recognize that God, does not rest, and will never rest, until each soul so created by God reposes in God, once again.  This thus signifies, that though some of us joyfully play hide and go seek with God, whereas others do so, not so playfully; that God never tires of this game, for all that God has created is for our edification, but also for our amusement, our amazement, and the adventures, thereof.  Therefore, at the end of the day, as God measures time, the game will end, for God will have found us, and having found us, we will rest securely, forever, in God's eternal heaven.
