Biblical Prespective: World News Mars: "Curiosity" Image from Mars August 6, 2012

Can Mars sustain life? What has God created out there in the universe?
Curiosity has photographed Mars and is on a mission to find out if life can be on Mars. Is it the fear of the earth's passing away that leads mankind to seek out alternative life sources? It is great to see what God has made. The close view of the planet Mars or the moon and stars is really miraculous even that God has given us the capability to learn to such a degree that we can send machines and even mankind into space.

Biblical Scripture Reflection:

How marvelous the earth really is, it makes you realize the gift the earth is even in it's turmoil. Yet by prophecy we are told a new earth will be and heaven with it. How much more marvelous will that be!? The heaven now and earth now will pass away...

Reflect:
Revelation 21 King James
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.
But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Luke 19:10 New King James
"for the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost.”

We do not want to pass away like the earth and heaven, but have eternal life, that's why Jesus came to earth and soon a new earth and heaven is our gift if we believe in Jesus, love, seek forgiveness in Jesus Christ and also forgive others -as our Father will also forgive us-. Love God first, love by kindness to others even if someone does wrong (forgive by giving the situation about each person to God's for his help. No personal vengence). Remember, no one can go to the Father except through Jesus. For he is the light and the way. Jesus came to help those that they will believe and be saved from all sin, he took the sin on the cross so we can go to the Father through him and be made righteous again by the forgiveness of all our sin. Nothing is more important on this earth then this. Jesus, Love, Forgive, be Forgiven. Simple? Not always. Pray. God bless and while it is fun to see images of Mars and stars, remember the love God has even in the little birds in the sky and animals, sea and clouds, the warmth of the sun and all the gifts and look forward through Jesus a new earth with heaven and a new body that sickness cannot touch and all sadness gone. Amazing Grace. :)
