By Rev. L.Suohie Mhasi
Humankind is a family and all men and women are of human family.
Humankind is to be ethical and to do justice to the Creator .
Relationship in human family will be a reflection of human ethical relationship with God.
Humankind without human ethics is not different from animals.
Humankind in Christ with the indwelling of the Holy Spirit lives a born again life which is all for salvation of the whole world from sin.
So God’s plan for salvation of the world now and forever is complete and the world has absolute hope for peace and security.
The world is not in the dark about the Creator of the heavens and earth because He made Himself clear to the world. So it is meaningless and vain to worship the sun, moon, stars, trees, stones, animals, man, oceans, lakes, rivers and hand-made objects of any forms because these are creations. The Creator only is to be worshipped, honoured and feared because He is the eternal life.
“ Know God, believe in him, fear him and obey him”. This is the law of relationship with God. Knowing God, believing in Him, fearing Him and obeying Him makes men and women entering into relationship with God which gives no room to do sin intentionally and to have enmity with fellow men and women. Hence in relationship with God alone the world has hope.
