MAKE THE CHOICE

What was Allah's purpose in creating this world and us?

Did He create us only to live in this world for 70-80 years?

Could this be the real purpose? And is there no information about this?

Of course God explains it to us in His Word.

Genesis 2:8-9 The LORD God planted a garden in the east, in Aden. There he put Adam, whom he had created. In the garden he planted all kinds of beautiful trees that bore good fruit. In the middle of the garden was the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

God was with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. They could see God. But God told them not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve did not obey. Satan tricked them and they ate the fruit of that tree. Now they had no chance of eternal life.

Adam and Eve sinned and there was only one punishment for sin. Unfortunately it is death. The wages of sin is death because God is just. In fact, the Bible says: Romans 6: 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

But isn't our God also a merciful God? How can the God who gives justice also be merciful? The penalty for man who has sinned against God is the death penalty, as we have already seen in the verse above. God showed His justice by carrying out this punishment. Justice has been done, where is mercy? 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 "For Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures."

In this way God is both just and merciful. God's justice is death for sin. His mercy is seen in Christ Jesus, the Word of God for us, dying for our sins on the cross and rising again on the third day.

Do we want to live forever with God through Christ Jesus, or do we want to be cast into eternal destruction and eternal death with Satan and his demons who oppose God? Let us not forget! God is not there in the eternal destruction where Satan and his soldiers will be thrown!

God gave us a free will, just like Adam and Eve. Now it is eternal destruction, away from God, or eternal life with God! We have to make our choice!
