FROM DUST WE ARE AND TO DUST WE SHALL RETURN (GENESIS 3 :19)

Good morning my fellow steemitians how have you been? Today I'm going to be talking about we humans. Just take for example you buried a dog if you go to the grave six months later you are going to find some bones and you would notice that some part of the body has decade to sand. Just as the dead body of a dog is that is how humans body is. In the Bible book of Genesis 3:19 there God told Adam that because of his sin he is going to die and return back to the dust which he was made of.
This curse has been affecting all humans today even the animals. Life is full of hardship and suffering but we still have hope. In the Bible book of 1corithians 10:31 there the apostle advice us to do all things for God's glory. One way of doing all things for God's glory is seen in verse 32 of 1corithians 10 in that verse the apostle advices Christians not to be a stumbling block to other Christian in the congregation. We want to treat everyone with love from the heart because the most hight God is a loving God and if he sees us exhibiting love for others he will be proud of us. Now as Christians we all know that when we die we are going to return to dust but is there any hope for us? The answer is yes, consider what is recorded in Acts 15:14 it says that "God will resurrect the righteous ones" who are the righteous ones? They are those who are Christians and obey the law so if you abide to the law of God be confident that God will resurrect you back even if you die. God will still resurrect your love ones back to life. Let's all imitate our Lord Jesus who was humiliated on earth and even killed but God raised him to heaven as a king and a ruler.

From dust we are and to dust we shall return and we cannot avoid this faith but we are confident that the true God will resurrect us back to life and we will dwell in his humble abode.
The moral lesson here are:

  1. we want to give a helpful hand to others and one way to do this is by rendering charity service to them (Luke 6:38)

2)we should not be proud because no matter how rich we are we shall still change to dust when we die just like a rat so we want to stop being proud and looking down at others (proverbs 16:18)

3)we should do all things for God's glory so that he will remember us when it's time to resurrect the dead (1corithians 10:31)

If we do all these things God will surely remember us and we can be confident that even though we die and return back to the dust God will remember us and resurrect us to his humble abode. But take note that we will only be resurrected only of we abide to God's principles given in the Bible. So we all should ask our self this thought provoking question"Does my way of life really shows that I am worthy of God's Resurrection? "I live that question for you to answer.

Thanks for taking your time to read my post. I really appreciate it
