It is easy for people to believe that God raised Christ from the dead thousands of years ago. But it has been difficult for them to understand that God can raise (anyone from) the dead tonight. Life belongs to God. God is everything, God became everything, and God becomes everything, except nothing at all.
Last night I had a heart to heart conversation with Christ, as if he were sitting right beside me. I needed to understand some things.
Humanity does not know God's compassion - not at all. You in no manner put your trust in God. You may say that you trust God, but, by your actions, you have more faith in weapons and in the strength of your own hands. It's like the husband who often beats the shit out of his wife. He just as often says to her, "I love you." You are like that husband, who feels like he loves his wife, but does not show her love. You know love by her works. You feel like you trust God, but your actions state otherwise; you should believe yourself, and realize what you are doing, and understand why you do the things you do. You know trust by his works.
In fairness, I cannot fault nor judge you for this, because trust (faith) belongs to God. It is only something that God can create. If you saw a man dead and laid in tomb, even attended his funeral with his wailing mother, then a few days later, saw that same man walking out of his tomb - the event would inscribe something in you - almost like a traumatic event. This is faith! It is created by God for whom God chooses. It surpasses the feeling and belief that the dead are raised, and enters the realm of knowledge - like 2 plus 2 is 4.
Faith is what God requires, along with her children mercy and compassion, in order to be granted access to God's eternal and physical garden. It is what God requires for you to be surrounded by all manner of mercy and compassion today - God only requires from you what God would give you.
