All in All

Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. (1 Timothy 1:17, NASB)

Christianity is not a philosophy. It is faith in a Living God who acts in human history.

He is the Creator, the source and fountain of all reality. All that is flows from Him.

In him we love and move and have our being (Acts 17:28, NIV). Life is His personal gift to us, and He constantly works to enrich it in us. To all who will simply trust Him, He offers His own Spirit, with all His peace, love, and sufficiency. All that is good happens through Him. We could not seek Him, know Him, or come to Him on our own, but He relentlessly works to draw us to Himself.

He is the goal of all life. He is our destiny, our culmination, our heaven, the sum of all reality. All creation is moving toward Him. As we trust Him, each of us is becoming one with Him and in Him.

From him and
through him and
to him are all things.
To him be the glory forever!
(Romans 11:36, NIV)

Human history seems to be
an endless parade of
conquerors,
wars,
famine, and
death.
Victims are forever awaiting justice.
But all this is not
our source or
our destination.
Creation began in God Almighty,
high and exalted.
It will culminate in Him.
