Learn the Gospel: two ways to live
The fairness of God, as we face the good news of Jesus, is seen in Romans 1:18ff. God actually allows us - 'hands us over' - to have what we desire. If we desire life without God, then God gives us that, and that is his judgement.

In reality, this is the fairness of his judgement permanently - to have life now, and eternally, without him.

Is God unfair in this?

Prayer:
Father, thank you for your fair justice. Please give me ears to hear and a heart turned back to you. Amen.

Learn the Gospel: two ways to live
The Gospel is good news because it actually presents the truth about the two options in life, for every human being.

It is good news because it confronts the reality of the very good creation, under the impact and judgement of sin - the brokenness we experience every day.

It is good news because it does not avoid the reality of death, judgement, evil, rebellion, and the consequences of life lived without God.

It is good news because it describes God as he is - just, loving, generous, creative, kind, gracious and loving.

It is good news because it deals with Jesus as he is - a real man who lived as a real human, as God designed and created.

It is good news because it actually lays before us all the reality we must all face: do we want to continue as God, instead of God, or do we desire to be returned to God and what he created us to be?

Prayer:
Father, thank you that you deal in reality. Help me to see the truth before me, and what you have done in Jesus. Amen.
