God's will and Logic

One thing I have learned is that God's will don't appear to be "logic". I have asked myself: "Mr Spock... let's look at this from the logic point of view" What was God's will in Joseph life? What was God's will for Corrie ten Boom? What was God's will for Joni Tada? What was God's will for Billy Graham? God used people according to HIS will. In other words, my destiny is God's will, not mine. Learning from great faiths in the Bible and Christian history (Corrie ten Boom), I can see that circumstances did not control them; it is their reaction to circumstances that determined what kind of people they were and most importantly, how faithful they were. I will use Corrie ten Boom's example. Greatest person I have learned is Corrie ten Boom who have suffered because she protected the Jewish people from the Nazi, not because of her Christian faith. She lost all of her family and she was the only one came out of Nazi prison alive due to clerical error through God's divine intervention. Through her examples, she explained to us how to survived through suffering as she did. Corrie took to her heart that when life is at its darkest, God is there for her always. He understood her pain and carried her though it by supplying grace because she remembered this verse in 2 Corinthians 12:9God said: "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." She understood that God was in control, even if she did not understand why her family was suffering. It was HER faith in God's grace that she was able endure her pain. Like Corrie, we can place such faith in Him because of the assurance we have through His Word, even when we do not understand. Our true home and purpose is not here; it is still to come. We are not made for this world, we are just here to learn all we can, and with what Christ has given to us, make the best and most of the situations in which we find ourselves. Then, one day, we will be called to our true home in eternity, in Heaven. So, let us cling to the hope we have, not the things we experience! "Is there sufficient grace to help us in every issue of life?" Life is filled with difficulty. Life is filled with pain and sorrow and suffering. Bad things happen to everybody because we are living in a sinful world. In sense of "torture", true faith is not the ability to superiorize unseen things to the satisfaction of our human minds, instead it is the human power to trust Christ completely. Basically understand what the Bible says what God's will and go from there. We don't know God's will specifically but we will know what directions we should be going. God's will. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 It is God's will that you should be sanctified (spiritual). 2 Thessalonians 1:5 All this is evidence that God's judgment is right, and as a result you will be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which you are suffering. Romans 8:27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will. Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will. Proverbs 16:33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD. As for eternal death (torture). The moment we are born (physically), we have been living in eternal death (without Christ). You are spiritually saved by Grace with the gift of faith when convicted by the Holy Spirit and repent for the separation from God and made peace with our Creator we were once was far away. Through Adam, we are born spiritually dead. Through Jesus Christ, we are born-again spiritually. Romans 5:12 [ Death Through Adam, Life Through Christ ] Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned. Unregenerated person means spiritually dead person. Sin is separation from God meaning spiritually dead facing eternal death. Born-again means spiritually alive facing eternal life. Result of the fall: Spiritually: Adam and Eve died since God broke away the relationship with them and kicked them out of Garden of Eden. Death is universal spiritually and also by nature. Physically we are born alive however spiritually dead. When we have Jesus Christ in our lives, we no longer spiritually dead but spiritually alive even though our physical body will continue to decay and will die someday. A spiritually dead person cannot will himself to live anymore than a physically dead person can will himself to come back to life. If the dead person (spiritually or physically) is to come back to life he/she will have to be resurrected by God. In the spiritual realm this means he/she must be born from above. A spiritually dead person is without the Holy Spirit, therefore we do not have the "ability" to get saved on our own. We need the Holy Spirit to prick and quicken us to be alive. If you are damned, it's entirely your own fault, and not God's fault at all (though God controls everything). This is hard to understand, because sin is darkness and confusion. If you are saved, it's entirely God's doing, and not to your credit at all. All you did was responding to the Holy Spirit's conviction and He did the rest. There's no works involved. There's no measure of faith involved. Its a choice in matter of responding to the Holy Spirit's conviction in our hearts to be saved. Jesus said in John 16:8 "When He (Holy Spirit) comes, He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment." Later in the New Testament, 1 Thessalonians 1:5 "because our gospel came to you not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction." Therefore, those who have died without Christ have been living in torture without Christ. Those who have suffered with Christ have had GRACE in their lives. That's the biggest difference I see regarding God's plan for Salvation.
