Mortality and Immortality

A year is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes and 46 seconds long.  That’s how long it takes the earth to travel around the sun, one solar year.  That measurement of time is based on the existence of the sun and the earth in relation to each other.  If, however, you could measure the existence of God in years, the Creator would be billions, trillions, an infinite number of years in existence.  He has always been and always will be the God force of all time.

Man has been in existence only a few thousand years.  History is measured by man’s presence on earth.  Prior to man, there was no earthly history.  Though some men speculate that there was a prehistoric man, a beast that evolved upward into the highest life form, there is no truth to it.  There were no prehistoric men, there are no prehistoric men and there never will be any prehistoric men.  History is the story of mankind.

So, God has always been, he’s immortal.  Man has been here for a time, but each man dies in time, he’s mortal.  There is a way, however, for man to become immortal, transcending time.  Man can become a Christian, a true follower of Jesus Christ.  Then our souls are returned to God forever and forever.  It is important for us to know how life works, without being confused by untruths about where man came from and where man is going.  We were created by God as mortals and Jesus will make us immortal.
