I’d say yes.
I’d also so there’s rules and ways to play to have success.
What’s the rule book?
So it should be obvious what I think the rule book is.
I think like a game there’s no real losers. It’s just a game.
(We are just here for the ride)
So how do you succeed? Live a long life, have fun and enjoy it.
How do you do that?
Live by the laws and bear good fruit.
What’s that mean?
Live by the commandments. Believe in Jesus. Help bring people to the truth (obviously biased but the bible says Jesus is the truth).
Don’t sin. Sin gives you minus points and will add up to you losing the game.
Big bonus points come in bringing people the good news. It can help counter the loss you get from sinning.
—————————————
Just an aside but many non-believers live a godly and long life. They are winning the game. Maybe the places with the longest-lived people have these characteristics.
They might not find Jesus but they know God and live by his rules.
Then there is other people (ME!). Who need Jesus. I’m no doubt a sinner. I’ve likely added up the negative points.
I’ve for a big part of my life have lived like I belief in God. But I’ve lied, been sexually immoral and drunk and I’m sure some other things.
I need a savior (it’s part of our story). So I believe. I repent. I bow down to the lord.
But I believe there’s people who have lived a “good” life. God and Jesus will be the judge. There’s many that have lived a long life pleasing to God.
I’d rather and likely need use the cheat code and just believe in Jesus.
