If A Man Became God

If a man became God, would we turn into little robots who praise and worship without ever having free choice again?

If a man became God, would we have to worry about getting wiped out in the blink of an eye because he got too mad at the world one day?

If a man became God, would we be concerned about getting crushed like an ant because he was bored?

If a man became God, would we live in fear of hell forever because some cruel guy got put in charge of everything?

If a man became God, would salvation no longer be open equally to all men because he didn't love equally?

If a man became God, would we never again be assured of our salvation because he turned it into a pluralistic, all-paths-lead-to-him, just-be-good-and-you'll-make-it mess?

If a man became God, would we feel slighted because a bunch of evil men made it to heaven just because he thought everyone should get in no matter what?

If a man became God, would we feel even more slighted when some people made it to heaven and some didn't, completely regardless of what they did and what they believed?

Thank God we don't have to worry about any of that.

Rather, thank God that he became a man and paid the price for us on the cross. Thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, in whom we must put our trust to inherit eternal life!

Grace and Peace
