Today, I thought of doing some sharing of something that I've learned in hope of receiving some different opinions from you, whoever you may be. I believe that knowledge should be shared, contested and enhanced.
Yesterday, I listened to Prof. 梁燕城 about this simple concept that changed the way I look at things. The talk was about seeking for true wisdom and the meaning of life. Let me share with you 2 things that I have learned:
1. Mankind from all places (countries), race, and time (history) share the same moral values. For example, thou shan't kill, thou shall do good. And yes, it is true that when we do wrong things, the first punishment comes from ourselves, our conscience; And when we do good (e.g. lending a helping hand), we enjoy joy and peace.
2. These moral standards cannot be coincident. It was planned, designed and meticulously implanted into us even before we were born. We have the exact understanding of good and evil. We share the exact feelings from the doing good and evil. We feel terrible when we hate; And have joy when we love. This is universal. Love is universal. How many people have tried to search for an answer to find love and peace? After all, we all yearn for lasting happiness, don't we? We try to do more good than evil in hope of increasing the peace in our hearts.
Through the many years of searching, I can soundly tell you this: God is the source of this love. God IS love. God is all around, just like love is all around. He is so powerful that it doesn't matter if you are aware of Him or if you acknowledge Him. He IS around, loving you. Even if you reject Him or hate Him. He still loves you. Remember, God is love, He can't help it :)
Christianity is not about how much good you do in your lifetime, nor is it about how much you know about the Bible. Christianity is about FAITH. Remember that God loves you no matter what. His love surrounds you, waiting for you to be aware of Him and acknowledge Him. That's why we say that Christianity is about FAITH. Once you acknowledge Him, you will immediately know that God is with you. He always was, is and will be. It is THAT simple. All you have to do is to open your heart and ask God to come into your life. Simple! What have you got to lose? You have nothing to lose if there's no God and EVERYTHING to gain if there is one. So, what are you waiting for?
