Of Life God Is All

Prologue


There are only two kinds of man on earth - the righteous and the wicked. To be sure, God treats them in different manner.

Therefore, the entire circumstances or life experiences of both the righteous  and the wicked defines all there is to it in the world. God's will and purposes, his loves and hates, his blessings and curses and his judgments are the sum total of all there's to see, hear, observe, etc.

In other words, God is all in one's life - whether one put his/her trust in him or not. He is all over one's life through all things in one's lifetime.

For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1:6

Far be it from you to do such a thing—to kill the righteous with the wicked, treating the righteous and the wicked alike. Far be it from you! Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” Genesis 18:25

The Lord’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. Proverbs 3:33

To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 2:26

God Defines One's Life


Deuteronomy 11:1-7
Love the Lord your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always. Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the Lord your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm; the signs he performed and the things he did in the heart of Egypt, both to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his whole country; what he did to the Egyptian army, to its horses and chariots, how he overwhelmed them with the waters of the Red Sea as they were pursuing you, and how the Lord brought lasting ruin on them. It was not your children who saw what he did for you in the wilderness until you arrived at this place, and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth right in the middle of all Israel and swallowed them up with their households, their tents and every living thing that belonged to them. But it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the Lord has done.

The Ultimate Judgment


John 3:16-18 

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM IS NOT CONDEMNED, BUT WHOEVER DOES NOT BELIEVE STANDS CONDEMNED ALREADY because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.
