Faith is letting God into your Soul

It is important to distinguish between letting God into your Soul and God living in your Soul. Faith is letting God into your soul. Having God in your Soul is having life in your soul. This life is Spiritual Life. Spiritual life is eternal life, it is salvation, it is being born again, but ultimately it means being united with God. If we do not let God into our souls, God will not force entry. God respects man’s free will. If he forced his way into our soul, man would have no free will. This is the power of man, the power to choose and immense responsibility comes with that power, whether man realises it or not. God will not force any person’s hand. He will call, he will knock, he will ring but it is our choice to answer. Choosing to answer is Faith. The result of faith is opening the door, God will come inside our soul and live and unite with us. Living life is living the Faith. Faith is not some test we must pass, or some trial that we must seek to win over. Correspondingly life is not a trial, not a test. God does not put man to the test. God calls man not examines man. Faith is opening the door to God to allow him to enter. Once we open the tap, the spiritual life will flow through us. Faith can only happen in this life not the next. Because man has free choice in this life, he won’t need it in the next. Man that dies united with God will share in the joy and happiness of God forever, if not, if man deliberately rejects God and cuts all ties, he will be unable to unite with God forever and therefore will not share joy and happiness forever. This is the meaning of Heaven and Hell. Man can claim that this is an unreasonable choice. The claim is that man did not choose to be born, to be created, yet he is presented with the choosing between being united with God or separated from God. First every person was created from ultimate truth and goodness. Your life is a gift. It was good that you and I were created and born. All of creation was formed to express love and the ultimate expression of love is man. Man did not choose to be born because there was no choice to be made. Nothingness can not choose because there is nothing to choose. Second man claiming that he did not choose to be born comes from his own selfishness and ignorance of truth. Selfishness because every life is good and goodness, even though circumstances can be difficult. Selfishness because it is the rejection of the gift of his life. Selfishness because he blames the consequences his decision on rejecting God on not having the decision to exist in the first place. But love and Goodness are not selfish. God’s goodness and love will win over man’s selfishness every time. Thirdly man wants the power to choose but not the responsibility. That is the immaturity of man. Most people never grow up, forever the child spiritually, mentally, emotionally, wanting the prize but not the work, wanting the joy and happiness but not the responsibility. Man should grow up! Growing up means leaving God into your soul. Leaving God into your soul is what Faith does. Salvation is what God does.
