A new light unto the
world: life continues after death
Different road courses, different types of people. The same
mission.
In the beginning we chose to follow
God's plan for us to become like him
He in turn gave us our car (a.k.a. our
body) to handle the terrain of our mission.
We came down to earth to go through a
driving course (courses vary from individual to individual), to see if we
qualify to become like our Heavenly Father. (Birth)
Ever person's course is a little
different. Despite our differences, everyone has five checkpoints in their
driving test.
We go through life's obstacles, roadblocks, and finally reach the
end of our sojourn with the passing on to the other side.
All participates go to a waiting area until all the drivers
complete life's treacherous course. This waiting area is called the spirit
world. The spirit world comprises two different waiting areas...
1.
Spirit paradise: a reward to drivers who
followed the road map and completed the check points
2.
Spirit prison: a place for mostly drivers who
did not complete the road course. They were given an equal shot but, decided
not to heed the instructions, the map, etc.
The moment of renewal comes! Jesus Christ comes again, and
everyone gains back their car. The day of resurrection (the day when Christ
comes, our souls and our bodies reunite), and everyone's vehicles (bodies) come
back completely restored. Our renewed cars never will never scratch, ding, and
dent ever again.
We look to our officials, Jesus Christ
and our Heavenly Father. They review our performance in our presence and to
give a ruling as to our final destination. Tapes will be reviewed throughly. If
you take advantage of the five check points all the wrong turns will be erased
(final judgment).
With the tapes reviewed, you drive up to
your final destination. A reward based on your performance. Heavenly Father loves all of his
participants, so he will reward you with the following.
2.
A castle (a.k.a. The Celestial Kingdom): for the
drivers who made it through all of the check points, accepted Jesus Christ as
their savior, and received his restored gospel.
3.
A mansion (a.k.a. The Terrestrial Kingdom): a
place where drivers who reside who loved Jesus Christ but didn't go through all
of the check points.
4.
A tent (a.k.a. The Telestral Kingdom): drivers
who didn't care about the checkpoints. At least it's still something.
These degrees of glory are described in The Bible in reference to
the sun, moon and stars.
40 There are also celestial bodies,
and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of
the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another
glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from
another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It
is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
-1
Corinthians 15:40-42 KJV
All of this ties directly back to the power of the Atonement of
Jesus Christ.
Jesus, the Christ undoubtedly atoned for all of the wrongdoings
God's children commit. He suffered in the garden of Gesamane, blood blanketing
His holy body from every pore. Following His traumatizing sacrifice brutal
torture followed its course in a form of whippings that would have killed
mortal men. In show of his kingship, roman soldiers placed a crown of spiny
thorns on His holy head. Concluding his tribulation, King of Kings, Lord of
Lords, hung on a cross with nails in his hands and feet next to two villainous
robbers. Disrespectfully, one of them in a less painful course mocked Him.
Jesus Christ makes all of the difference. He is the difference.
He suffered in the garden. He died an excruciating death on the cross for you.
He provided a way to erase the mistakes, bumps, and wrong turns out of your
road course footage. What will YOU do to thank Him?
Jesus Christ's Atonement, the only way to to a perfect
performance. He supplies us with necessary fuel, He created the world road
course under Heavenly Father's direction. He is our advocate in the reviewal of
road footage at final judgement day. He is the provider of the map to complete
all of the checkpoints.
His map comes in two pieces....
THE KJV BIBLE:
A record of Jesus Christ's coming, ministry, and gospel to the
Jews. Endless wisdom of His kingship. Jesus Christ came to save each and all,
from the vilest of sinner to the self proclaimed perfectionist. Christ knows
you. As Christ himself said in the book of John, "I have come into this
world to fulfill all righteousness," (paraphrased). If we read the Bible
closely, we see a first hand account of the great sacrifice that Christ made
for us so we can live again.
THE BOOK OF MORMON: ANOTHER TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST
The literal record of the "other sheep that I have that are
not of this fold" that John 10:16 pronounces to the world. The Book of
Mormon holds true to all of the bible's truth an prophecy. Jesus Christ's love
extends farther than to just his peers, friends, and acquaintances. His loves extends
with open arms to the entire world. No matter where you are, where you stand in
life, or where life's journey leads: you will know of the love of our Heavenly
Father and Jesus Christ. What would you do to know that God loves you
unconditionally?
The path our lives take vary per person. We know that all we can
do is to hold to our morals in times of affliction, changing societal norms,
and definitions of sacred actions shifting. Be of good courage, never idle your
car. Sometimes it just takes a little push or the second piece to the map. Hold
to the course, greater things await. Life continues after death.
"Ask, and it shall be given you;
seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matthew
7:7 KJV
