When humans create movies, they often build a set whose universe has an age, specific laws, all kinds of creatures, a history, and so on. Yet, they created it in a few days to months. They did so to tell a specific story. They will focus on what is central to the purpose of the movie, like specific creations (characters). The creators and those closest to them reap most of the rewards, too. Likewise, God said He made this world in six days to show who He is (His attributes) and have a relationship with us. He describes those who put trust in Christ as adopted sons and daughters who are a “treasured possession” (ESV). He will preserve us forever to worship Him and so He can lavish His love on us. He can’t help but do that as source of all love. Unlike the animals, we were made in His image. He gave us morals, free will, and the highest intelligence (power). We were to love Him first and each other. So much higher than animals. He owes us absolutely nothing. He’s simply gracious. He makes it rain on the just and the unjust alike. Yet, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Every human has used their power for evil repeatedly in their lives while turning on their eternal creator. Evil can’t be allowed in heaven. God is justified in putting them in a lake of fire where the smoke of our torment goes up forever and ever. Then, we get to the story all creation is to tell. While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. There’s no greater love than laying down your life for another. God took flesh, lived like us tempted in every way without sin, died for people that still hated Him, and told us to bring His message to His lost children. He wants them back and to be with Him forever. Even as you mock Him, He gave you breath to do that. Even though He’s hated and mocked on our screens, Christ still sends His Gospel out of love for you. Even though we’re still sinners and selfish humans, the Spirit of God makes us love you enough to put down our tech toys and try to carry His message to you so you don’t burn forever. And keep doing that for new people after people spit on us, fire us, call the cops, etc. Christ must love you. Will you repent and believe in and love Him back? I put before you life and death. Choose life.
