Man is confined in time, all we know is the present. We have a memory of the past and a hope for the future. God on the other hand is not. Even the future for Him is already history. He's seen it all happen. But with man, history unfolds before him one day at a time. Take this as an example, you were on your way home and you are thinking on what to prepare for dinner. You like veggies so you were thinking whether Talong or Okra. But God knew you actually bought Sitaw and had Adobong Sitaw for dinner. That is why with regard to God, He already know who are His and who are not. But with man, he has to make his choices everyday whether to follow God, that is to be spiritual, or to follow his own desires, that is to be carnal. To be spiritual is life, and to be carnal is death. So whether we obeyed the Gospel or not, with God it's already a thing of the past. But with us, we don't know that. Except that today we know that we have to obey Christ and live by faith every day a
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life. First you will find the way, then the truth, then you will find life. Life is the ultimate destination.
