Peace Light,
No,
No? Are you telling me that you know all of the answers, and what on earth is that verse from Revelation ment to mean?
John 8:34-36 - "Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin. 35 And a slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever. 36 Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed."
We are not slaves to sin, we are slaves to God Almighty. That's where the honour lies!
Imagine you are lost in a big city, you're in the city because you want to pay your Grandfather a visit but the house you were looking for doesn't seem to exist, your mother and father offered you specific information but the idea of looking cool in front of your friends was to hard to resist, instead you settled for unspecific information, thinking that you'd find the house eventually. Alas, all has turned upside down, it's dark, cold and wet, the people in the city are busy and unhelpful, you're tired but you have nowhere to rest your head, then suddenly out of nowhere your uncle appears and states that he will indeed guide you, at this point, you're heart is pounding, you know that you will meet your Grandfather providing you follow your Uncle, you have no doubt in your mind, the feeling is akin to smooth sailing on calm seas and when you meet your Grandfather, you are even more appreciative.
It's knowing that you are on the right path and that you have someone to follow, someone who will never let you down.
This is not what I was referring to! Never the less, it's was a nice example, however that could also be applied to Islam. with the Uncle being the teachings of Islam which will lead you to the Grandfather who is meant to be God. Follow Islam, and strive in the way of God and you will find your reward most definately, as is promised by God Almighty!
