Thou shalt don’t have any different gods earlier than me. — Exodus 20:3
Blaise Pascal, amongst others, is usually attributed to a preferred assertion. That assertion is, “There’s a God-shaped vacuum within the coronary heart of every man which can’t be happy by any created factor however solely by God the Creator, made recognized by way of Jesus Christ.” Whereas these actual phrases weren’t put in that order by Pascal, what he did say was very comparable.
Pascal additionally made another feedback. In speaking about happiness, Pascal realized that true happiness couldn’t be discovered on this world. In truth, Pascal stated the next when contemplating how man tries to unravel the happiness drawback in life. “He in useless tries to fill from all his environment, in search of from issues absent the assistance he doesn’t acquire in issues current? However these are all insufficient as a result of the infinite abyss can solely be crammed by an infinite and immutable Object, that’s to say, solely by God Himself.”
Because of sin, everyone seems to be born with a void of their hearts. It’s a void that robs everybody of true happiness and satisfaction as they attempt to fill that void with issues of this world. However issues of this world can’t fulfill!
Solely God can fulfill the void in our hearts, bringing forgiveness of sin and true happiness. But, many will spend their complete lives placing different gods earlier than the one true God. The gods of cash, sports activities, possessions, and lots of different issues.
What’s filling the void in your life? Is God first, or have you ever put different gods earlier than Him? You can not discover happiness in all of the issues this world has to supply. True happiness and satisfaction in life can solely be discovered within the one true God.
