My Thoughts

Proper Perspective.

God's laws are remarkable. Think about a perfect city and it would ultimately end up looking like a place where the 10 commandments are not violated. There would be no wanting, no abuse, no theft, no broken commitments or lying. Such a place where no violations occur would free up all security resources for fun activities. It would free up AntiVirus needs and the need for keys, locks, bank vaults and safety deposit boxes and the need for police and the army and etc. etc. You see the point that without the need for all these things there would be plenty of money to feed the poor and take care of the needy. This is the reason Jesus said the poor you will always have. He knows that our sinful hearts create a community where so much of our resources go to protecting and defending what's right that the budget would never balance. The funds necessary for all would funnel towards things we need in a fallen world.

We are on this world now in it's broken state, even creation itself morns it's state, but be thankful because we are not doomed to dwell here forever. Death is the door, the exit of this corruption, into freedom and satisfaction as we trust in Jesus Christ's atonement for us (humans) on the cross. Yes, in our state we choose to disobey the 10 commandments and therefore we live with locks and keys and vaults and safes and murder and guns and violence and so much more, but God has given us a way that when he restores all things justly we will be found just and we shall be established in His eternal kingdom that externally as well as internally will exist.

Think about that.
