The Law of Contrast? What is that?
This law is very simple and it can also be called The Law of Opposites which simply says if there is HOT, there must be COLD. If there is an UP, there must be a DOWN. If there is SWEET, there must be a SOUR or BITTER. If there is JOY, there must be SORROW. If there is PLEASURE, there must be PAIN. If there is an EAST, there must be a WEST. If there is a North, there must be a SOUTH.
There are a lot more contrasts, but in order to save time and spare your poor eyes, I will stop there. but you get the picture, right? What picture? Plainly, if there is a HEAVEN, there must be a HELL. If GOD exists, there must be a SATAN!
Who was Satan? He used to be God's highest angel and was the guardian of God's throne! However according to Isaiah 14:13-15 ( Amplified Bible )
13. And you said in your heart, I will ascend to heaven; I will exalt my throne above the stars of God; I will sit upon the mount of assembly in the uttermost north.
14. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.
15. Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol (Hades), to the innermost recesses of the pit (the region of the dead).
Here is Satan making bold statements and rebelling against God! He was thrown out of Heaven along with one third of the angels who followed him in mutiny. He was cast out of the third heaven ( the dwelling place of God ) into the first heaven ( which is the sky/atmosphere above us ). As a result he is the ruler of "principalities and powers" here on Earth.
2 Peter 2:4 ( Amplified Bible )
Hell was created by God to imprison Satan and his demonic host forever.
For God did not [even] spare angels that sinned, but cast them into hell, delivering them to be kept there in pits of gloom till the judgment and their doom.
Why? Because God will not allow evil to dwell in His Holy presence. But according to the Word of God, Hell's mouth has been expanded/enlarged to include those who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior for their sins.
God was utterly serious when He sent Jesus Christ to die for mankind's sins. Our Savior did not hang on the cross for a joke. God knew that mankind was in a spiritual race for either eternal Life or eternal death, and He was not willing that ANY should perish! Why? Because when you die, your race is over! There are NO do overs!
If you spend your entire life rejecting Christ ( or the existence of God ), once you shut your eyes in death, there is no amount of praying and novenas that will get you into heaven. Why? Because Jesus said. "I am the way, the truth and the light, no man commeth to the Father except by me." Period! Dot!
God demanded a "Perfect Sacrifice" for sin, not lighting candles, chanting, worry beads, burning incense, killing chickens, etc. I'll let you read it for yourself.
Isaiah 64:6 ( King James Version )
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
So, I'm saying plainly. If you don't believe in Jesus Christ, you are automatically enrolled in Satan's kingdom. That is until you a conscience decision, and come to the conclusion that you are a sinner, and that you need Jesus Christ as your propitiation/substitute, and give yourself to Him. Only then will you change sides and be like a baseball player who slides home and the umpire waves "SAFE" over him or her. Only this SAFE will be for ETERNITY!
Don't you want to be SAFE today?
