I realized that we also need to figure out the future of those “Christians” who will be left behind. (The overcomers.)

Christ’s Perfect Obedience. God’s laws are holy and perfect. You’ll go to hell if your consuming passion and theology is to obey them—for you cannot, a hundred percent.
Experiencing God. Have you experienced God? Yes, of course. But have you experienced the God of the Bible? Don’t be offended if you are anti-Scripture.
Why are we all living in constant suspicion and fear? The answer is that we don’t have an inner authority for troubled times. We don’t have Christ’s peace.

You may ask, “How has Matthew 6 turned into a sermon of absolute reliance on our Lord Jesus? Where’s the Scripture?”
What if COVID-19 would his and kill us this year? The year 2021 is riskier than other years in our lifetime. Big governments tell us that. True or not, we must prepare spiritually for any eventuality. We could be hit anytime since COVID-19 is unseen—it is unpredictable as lightning particularly in countries with poor hospital equipment and resources. Where shall we go should this virus put us to sleep forever? The first question which a sensible old person—taking maintenance drug—should ask while in the hospital bed is, “Can I get out of this place alive?”
The diseases that come along with aging continue to warn our souls of the impending death lurking around the corner. This realization causes spiritual shaking in our souls. Our coming death sums up our weak bottom before God. Thus, we need a genuine source of strength that is not from this world, and that source is Jesus Christ, for He said, “My grace is sufficient for thee.”
The real meaning of life lies in its perpetual nature—its permanence and everlastingness. Christ came to prove our bodies’ resurrection after death. Both our souls and bodies were created to last forever. Life, therefore, is not pleasure, achievement, fame, travel, good health, longevity, or other similar matters we experience since all these will pass away.
Your life runs on a guiding principle that you may not be interested in fixing or discarding altogether. Life is God-given, and He alone can beautify it. Proverbs 14:12 says: “There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.” “There is a way” or Guiding Principle that is essential to the joyous fulfillment of our life journey. This 277-page book, “Overcoming Adversities by the Power of God,” seeks to give the reader the wisdom to understand life’s circumstances and ordeals and how to beat our sufferings with the wisdom of the Good Book.
