The Temporariness of Sin and the Timelessness of Grace

-

 



Grace and mercy are two of the most beautiful abstract ideas God has ever developed. Humanity wouldn't have freedom without grace and mercy and we wouldn't have the blessings that we do or the beauty, wonder, purpose, and value in our lives without God's grace. 

     The beauty of God's grace, aside from what it does for us, is God's total sovereignty over the concept. He can shed it whenever He wants to whereever He wants to on whoever or whatever He wants to and however He wants to. He has total mastery of the power of grace. The fact that He has such an authority should always remind the faithful of the importance of gratitude. Just as He can give grace, he can also take it. It is an act of grace that we exist at all anywhere, to be honest.

      Grace is as timeless and eternal as anything else that is divine. It will never stop existing. Grace is the acting force of how God liberates us from the curse of sin and death. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.  It is by grace that we have access to the salvation of Jesus at all, and it is not something we ever really deserved or were entitled to. No one's entitled to grace. We're just lucky enough grace exists in our world. Anybody who has ever gotten grace never deserved it. But grace wouldn't be grace if it was deserved.


Sin? Sin's gonna die one day. Not just sinners, but sin itself. Sin is a sickness and a curse, a concept never meant to be eternal, and sicknesses and curses exist solely to be cured and broken. Sin is a temporary concept, one that I believe, like darkness and evil, will cease to exist one day, being burned away by God's light and love.


Sin has always been a temporary thing, not an eternal one, and I see the power of God's grace and mercy as able to redeem and restore the worst sinner, cure the worst sickness, and strengthen the weakest of weak at any point in time or space. I look at God's grace as reaching down the deepest of abysses and into the hottest of flames. His grace can pull people out of Hell and out of the clutches of the Devil Himself. That's how powerful His grace is. No one is beyond the reach of God's grace and I'll double down on that any day.


Sin is temporary.


Grace is eternal.


Sin is destroyable


Grace is invincible


I'll always believe this.

No One is a Lost Cause

     There is not a single human being on the planet who is a lost cause. There is hope for anyone and everyone who still draws breath in this world. Even into eternity and the realm of God there is always hope and mercy to be found for those who lost so much and had such misfortune or detriment fall upon them in life. Jesus is the great rescuer of the lost. The great savior of sinners and broken people. The great returner of broken dreams.       To Jesus, there is no such thing as a lost cause, a hopeless case, or an impossible situation.  Even though people lose hope sometimes and sink into despair, eternity and the Kingdom of God is a place where hope never dies and the lost are found eternally, never to be lost again.  With God, all things are possible, and all those lost are findable.       Jesus specializes in the mending broken hearts and broken dreams, and eternity is a long time to have dreams fulfilled and rest i...

The Fortress of Neptune

Some people strive to turn their mind into a fortress—a Stoic "inner citadel," an impenetrable bastion of psychological and spiritual security that no danger or enemy can conquer or destroy. It’s a noble and intriguing endeavor, turning your mind into a fortress. But for myself? I would forgo the citadel and instead transform my mind into a bottomless ocean. An unfathomably deep ocean that I can retreat into, like a submarine capable of withstanding the abyssal depths. The further down you descend into this ocean, the more untouchable and unreachable you become to your enemies. It is the mental "Fortress of Neptune." Where a bottomless ocean of living water and living thoughts serves to be my impenetrable Fortress and infinite Bastion. If a bottomless ocean is my Fortress, what could destroy me? A bottomless ocean of thought and ideas. A bottomless ocean of psychological and spiritual security—indestructible and unconquerable. It’s hard to conquer an ocean and impos...

Infinitization

The Infinitization Process: A Comprehensive Exploration Introduction Infinitization refers to the process of taking a concept, thing, or system—typically understood as having limitations or boundaries—and expanding it to possess infinite depth, infinite complexity, infinite diversity, infinite nuance, and infinite dynamics. This idea transcends traditional philosophical and metaphysical approaches to existence by positioning the infinite as not merely a characteristic of God, the cosmos, or abstract mathematics but as a quality that can be applied to concepts, systems, and relationships. This process connects deeply to your previous theories on Logos, words-as-sets, words-as-fields, and the nature of infinite existence. Through this framework, the infinitization of concepts can be seen as the ultimate act of creation, transformation, and expansion.
