Chapter 7: Final Thoughts

I ask that you consider the information that was presented to you in this book with an open mind

and to be objective about it. Coming back to the question of distinguishing between fact and

falsehood, I think it is clear from our limited abilities in the fields of science and many other

disciplines, that we are very far from knowing everything that there is to know. We listen to

people‟s ideas and views about subjects - you have also considered my personal views in this

book - but in the end you need to know whether the information that is presented by someone

else can be fully substantiated and/or trusted completely. Is the information that is presented to

you based on facts that can be proven as 100% true - leaving no doubt in your mind when you

evaluate the claims? Do these arguments have missing pieces that do not fit the claims that are

made, or is there evidence that would go against them? If this is the case, the claims are false

and not based on facts. If you are honest with yourself, it is necessary to ask these questions

when you have to face new ideas or views, and constantly evaluate those ideas and theories

that have been with us for many years (as our ability to properly evaluate them improves over

time). Be aware of the fact that people adopt many ideas and theories in defiance of the truth

since the alternative would not fit their worldview or the responsibility it would place on their

shoulders toward their Creator.

In your search for the truth I would recommend that you make your own personal study of this

incredible Book that the Creator of the Universe has provided for us to learn more about him,

ourselves, our enemy who is described as “The prince of the power of the air” and our ultimate

destiny as children of God. Ask our Heavenly Father to open your eyes, so that you can

understand his Word and to reveal the secrets to you that he has hidden away between the

pages of this incredible document. The Bible says the following:

Pro 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honour of kings is to search

out a matter.

Pro 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise

wisdom and instruction.

Job 32:8, 9 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth

them understanding. Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged

understand judgment.

Pro 17:27 He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is

of an excellent spirit.

1Co 1:20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this

world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?

1Co 1:25 - 28 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness

of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many

wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God

hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath

chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And

base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and

things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

Col 1:9, 10 For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray

for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all

wisdom and spiritual understanding; That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all

pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Once you allow the our Heavenly Father to reveal himself and his Word to you through his Holy

Spirit, you will receive knowledge and the wisdom to discern between foolishness and wisdom.

Test everything - doctrine, idea, or theory against the information provided in God‟s Word.

There is nothing in this world that the Creator did not know about before it happened and has

provided his answers for through his Word.

May the information in this book assist you in understanding that God loves you with all his

heart. He has given you freedom of choice in the matter – whether you choose your life to be

under Satan‟s rule while you live on Earth, or whether you would like to claim your rightful

inheritance as heir of God and be part of his family that will rule over the world with him, when

he returns in the near future. Your Creator wants to be in an intimate relationship with you and

pour his grace and mercies upon your life, now and even more so in the ages to come. It may

not always be easy to live in a world where so many people do not even believe that God

actually exists. The Bible also says that when you accept Christ as your Saviour, the world will

reject you, just as they rejected the Lord Jesus Christ when he came to save us. It is not easy

to live in ridicule or to be rejected by friends and family, but if we belong to him, the rewards in

the ages to come are unfathomable. The Bible is also clear about this:

Joh 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In

the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Joh 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.

Joh 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are

not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth

you.

May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you and keep you, may the Lord make his face shine upon you

and be gracious unto you. May the Lord Jesus Christ lift up his countenance upon you and give

you peace. All the glory, praise and honour go to the Lord Jesus Christ who reigns forever and

ever.
