The Newtonian Gospel

Sunday, December 10, 2023

Newton's Law of Motion states that a body in motion tends to stay in motion. A falling rock will keep falling until it's stopped by something else; an object sent into outer space will keep going until it's stopped by another object. This law can be applied to the spiritual realm. If you've been doing something for years - gossiping, lusting, losing your temper and try to stop, you tend to keep doing it. To stop the sins of this world, there must be something or someone from outside this world- God, the Messiah, the cross. You can't change your life by your life; you change your life by His life. The more you get into the life of Messiah, the more you get into His love, His holiness, His presence, the more you'll change your life. The life of Messiah, the motion of Messiah, is the only One who can really change your life, and He will when you let Him become everything to you - for an object in motion will stay in motion unless it encounters Him.
