Why Atheists Age Quicker

Posted on by thechristiantechnerd

Have you noticed that some people age quicker?

They are in their 30s and they have gray hair.

Or they are in their 50s and they have trouble walking

When people are constantly anxious, they damage their health and their souls.

(Even if they don’t realize it).

However, the opposite is also true.

Some people don’t seem to age.

They stay young even in their 70s or 80s.

They move around easily

And their minds work as well as when they were younger.

Why does this happen?

Well, it’s no secret.

People who remain youthful have let God into their existence.

Take, for example, the story of Moses. 

Despite his age, he remained strong and vigorous as he led the Israelites through the desert.

His unwavering faith in God and his commitment to fulfilling his divine mission kept him energetic and strong.

Most people nowadays focus solely on their physical health.

But what they don’t realize is that you can’t stay healthy if your spirit is sick.

As Christians, we don’t fall into this trap.

When we live according to God’s design, everyday problems don’t seem so difficult anymore.

We can just pray to God and ask for guidance.

Philippians 4:6 says “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God”

We know that we are not alone.

We don’t stress over every little thing.

So our systems function at their optimal level.

Our heart becomes filled with love, joy, and forgiveness.

And we feel young and alive even in older age.

By letting go of bitterness, anger, and resentment, we make room for the healing power of God’s love to flow through us.

The key lies not in chasing after fleeting, superficial results, but in embracing spiritual depth and inner peace.

Let us strive to live in accordance with God’s plan for our paths.

We will be happier.

We will age slower.

And we will help our friends and family experience God’s grace and love.

Why Did God Wait Until the Israelites Were in the Wilderness?

The Lord called Abram out of his homeland and later made a covenant with him (Genesis 12:1-3). The sign of this covenant was circumcision (Genesis 17). At this time, Abram became Abraham, the father of many nations.

This covenant was given before Jehovah ever gave the written Law to men. Abraham was counted as righteous because he believed God, thereby showing that the Law cannot save anyone.

The promise of a future redeemer that was laid out in the Garden could only be preserved by the Lord setting apart a society that would see their sinful ways and repent. They were to be a sign to other nations of who God Almighty was.

Four hundred years in Egypt had kept them in one place until they were grown into a nation. They lived in slavery and became numerous. The Holy One was ready to shape them into His representatives.

To set them apart, they needed to know what Heaven’s standard was. They had been surrounded by false gods in Egypt and would encounter more idols in the days ahead. They were to be holy. Israel would be the only nation on earth who served the living God.

Keeping the Law was so unattainable, the objective was to show people they couldn’t keep it. It was given so they would cry out to God for salvation.

Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator. (Galatians 3:19)

We can see this in modern terms by looking at a speeding car. If there is no speed limit, there is no penalty for going too fast. However, going too fast can still kill a person. The car can exceed safe speeds without the driver being held accountable for it by getting a ticket or going to jail.

But the vehicle is still transgressing the laws of physics as the driver acts in ways that can get him or her killed or injured. Once a speed limit law is enacted, drivers will know if they transgress.
