The best solution to all problems

The desire of the Spirit
The ultimate goal is heaven

If all people everywhere repented, then the present evil world God would no longer need to keep up, and all those who have got and received the grace of repentance would get to heaven. God has given the time of grace yet, but it will end unexpectedly. On the other hand, even if the end of the world does not yet come, the world could become better for everyone.

But people do not do according to the will of God, so the problems persist and multiply. The grace of repentance comes to those who have died out of faith, who do not resist the will of God, to whom God opens it and gives the gift of living faith through His church. Living faith has already been given to all as a gift of birth, but almost all people lose it because of their sins.

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

Isa. 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:

Matt. 7:8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

Rom. 10:14-16 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?

Luke 13:23-27 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able. When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are: Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets. But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

Luke 18:8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

Heb. 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Heb. 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

What is the Third Creed?

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy common Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

What does it mean?

I believe that by my own reason and by my power I cannot believe in Jesus Christ my Lord, nor come unto Him; but the Holy Ghost has called me through the gospel, enlightened me with his gifts, sanctified and protected me in true faith; as He all Christianity of the earth calls, assembles, lightens, sanctifies and in Christ Jesus protects in the only true faith; where in Christianity He forgives me and all the believers every day all sins in abundance, awakens me and all the dead on the last day and gives me and all the believers eternal life in Christ. This is certainly true.

Forgiveness of sins is at the essence of the gospel: About Christ “To him give all the prophets witness, that through His name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive remission of sins.” (Acts 10:43). The gospel, the power of God, moves man from the world to the kingdom of God’s beloved Son.

If all people repented and God did not immediately end the present world, what would follow.

Even though man receives the grace of repentance, the old part does not repent and the devil occasionally tempts. Therefore, some bad thoughts, words, deeds and neglects could still come to people. But people, guided by the Holy Ghost, would correct their transgressions and make daily repentance and could support one another in the fight against evil.

Wars, violence, terrorism and the damage they cause to humans and the environment would end. There would be no need for armies and weapons. The armies could help in natural disasters and other crises. The resources that went into arms could be used to solve problems, to help the weaker, to protect the environment. Crime would end. The laws would be instructions and the police would be guides and helpers.

Greed would end. The better ones could help the weaker ones. It would be enough for people to consume less just to get the basic necessities, and some extra. There could be a Christian equality, and for everyone would be tried to find a place in society and a worthwhile life. Diligence and quality of work would improve. Environmental problems would be reduced. If the lusts were not nourished by the media and otherwise, and the people had the power of the spirit to restrain themselves, the birth rate would remain so that there would be no overpopulation. It would not be necessary for everyone to get married at such a young age, which would also reduce overpopulation. On the other hand, even if there were a large number of people, there would also be workers to solve, for example, environmental problems.

Mental and physical well-being would be better. Humans would be more harmonious and peaceable with one another, and if, however, the transgressions between men came and sins against God, they would be quickly sought to be corrected, apologized and forgiven. When sins were forgiven, it would give power and goodwill, appreciation, and gratitude to God and those around us.

Whatever else it means it can be imagined more. While not all people are repenting, good things can be tried to be pushed forward by everyone.

Humans would be satisfactorily saturated with this time and would have a living hope for even better eternal bliss and happiness after temporal life time in a sinless, disease-free resurrection body.
