The “Root” is Absolute

The “Root” is Absolute
By Don Twobears

In this article, I would like to discuss the life we live and that everything in it has a “Root”. As we all know, from our High School Science class, a “Root” is the beginning form of any particular life-form. It denotes the fact, that everything must originate from some basic form, i.e., humans from being a baby, bugs from a pupa, etc,. Even our bodies have some “Roots” as well, we like to say our Brain, yet without a Heart, the Brain would cease to operate and Vice-versa. Of course without Lungs those first two would cease to operate and die. So we like to look at the “Combination of Roots” in our Bodies. We also know, that our Kidneys must operate efficiently in order for these other organs to continue to operate as they are meant to. So many other organs must work correctly, in order for us to continue living and they must be able to work correctly for many, many years, if we choose to live into old age.

Makes you wonder, why anyone would choose to introduce things into their body that would change your Chemistry, could harm their organs, etc.. Yet we hear of this taking place all the time! Many of us never take any of this into account! Proof that far too many are not able to “Truly Think!!” Believe it or not, “Thinking” is a Learned trait, it does not come innately to us, the same with “Common Sense!” Our body Chemistry is a continual cycle of change, accommodating the needs of each and every organ. These fluids must be precise in their chemical makeup, they maintain food for our cells, remove waste and soothe an injury. So, again, we understand that the majority of these functions are initiated in our Brain. Now we are back to which is the absolute “Root” in our body, Brain verses Heart verses Lungs…and the list goes on and on. The one thing that we know for sure, is that all our Parts are necessary and they aid in the function of the other organs, each has a purpose. Each must rely on the other parts to do their job…IF…the body chooses to continue working and living.

As you are able to see from the above, every part is important, every part makes a contribution and does it’s own particular job. Having said that, I am sure you understand that our Health does not come automatically and we must do whatever is necessary to maintain our Health. I believe one aspect of our life, is missed by almost everyone. We do not control anything! Our next breath or our next Heartbeat is designed and allowed by our Lord God. Even our most basic thoughts are allowed by the Lord. This is evident by the fact, that we are allowed to choose what we think, thus our actions will follow suit. What we think, is called the “Intent of our Heart” in the Bible. How odd is it that so many use this knowledge, so little. In other words, they do not “Truly Think” things through, as would be considered Wise. I choose to say this is a person “Having a Thought” and then acting on that, where as “Thinking” first would change their direction, as far as their actions are considered.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.”

So now we are looking at the “Heart”, not the one beating in your chest, but rather the “Heart of your Soul or Spirit.” Obviously, the lack of “Thinking” with this heart, will be the undoing of many, many people. It makes for wrong and sometimes bad decisions, because of this lack of True Thinking. It could be viewed as a Thick Black Line, with one side that says Good and the other Bad. That is very basic, but I feel you understand the difference. This is the reason for the Word of God! It teaches us to look and consider “Our Thoughtful Options” as according to the Lord God. In other words a Thief makes a crucial decision, of whether he will choose to steal what is not his…or not. It is that simple! This again, brings the Passage of Scripture above into clear view. The passage of Scripture above, explains why we are so prone to commiting Sin, why so many fail, become disallusioned and depressed.

When we understand, that the “Intent of the Heart” is followed by Our Lord and Savior, we understand why the Bible is so Crucial for us every day. We understand how “The Intent of our Heart” will either sink us for Eternity or raise us to Heaven. Now we see the “Intent of our Heart…is the “Root” in our Lives.” We have a choice to make, for Jesus Christ or not, that is the “Root” of our present lives!

If we look seriously, at the Grand Scheme of things in our life, we will understand how this is the “Root” of Life. We know that, this Life we are presently living is not the only Life, that there is indeed a Life after this one, it’s called Eternity. We then understand the choice each and every one of us must make before our death! It is the single most important decision we will make, because it will decide for us, whether we choose Heaven or Hell…for Eternity. No other action will produce a greater result!

John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

This is not a question, nor is it a point for discussion, it is an absolute Truth. Here is one more;

John 15:5 “I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.”

Again this is an absolute, not a question! And to this point, we see how Jesus Christ is our “Root”, in everything in our lives. My effort is to convince as many as possible, that these are simple Truths, as spoken by the Lord God to each and every one of us. This is the entire reason for you and I having a Life here on earth to begin with, to make the correct choice, after Thinking and using our Intent of our Heart.

Matthew 7:13-14 “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.”

If I could relay anything from the Word of God, it is these Passages of Scripture! They have become and are the very Words of Life, in this Life and into Eternity

Jesus Christ Loves each of us and wants each and everyone of us to Live with HIM in Eternity, in Heaven! HE did not make Hell and the Lake of Fire for any of us, it was created for Satan and his Ilk. Simple “Root Truths” like these are the foundation for our lives and the most crucial decision we will ever make! Every single person that has ever lived on earth, must make this decision and only for themselves and before they die. This is simple fact! Whatever you do, whatever you think, you will be forced to make a decision and after that, your Life here on earth and into Eternity, will be according to that decision…even if you choose NOT to make a decision, you will have made it anyway.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

I use the King James version of the Bible and all emphasis is mine.
