 ** My Life ...**
+In the first commandment God calls himself "your God"! He talks to people who have him as their God, as
+their liberator. This is told to the people if Israel in the first place. Already in the Old Testament
+is it opened to those who believe in him, who keep to the Jews, who honor and obey the commands which
+reflect the justice of the loving father, the loving creator. Then, with Jesus, this is plainly opened
+to each and everyone. Come! Believe! The Lord is your liberator as well.
+Is God YOUR God? Is he the one who liberates you personally? In Jesus we are offered full pardon for
+our sin, for our own injustice. In him we are opened full liberation for our life. We are offered to
+receive God as loving father, in full. Is he our God? When we come to him, when we accept the offer,
+when we start to believe in Jesus, he becomes "our" God. Before that, he is just "the" god, the
+creator, the original source of the universe. Before we come to him with faith, he is just the burning
+fire, which threatens us.
+But when we come to him through the door, which is Jesus, we come as children of the most high. We come
+to him and he becomes our father, our God, our Lord, our saviour, our liberator, our love. Without
+him we are slaves to injustice. With him, we are slaves to the original love, to full justice, to
+freedom in eternity. Lord, be OUR God, please! Yes, in Jesus you provide all the justice we need. In
+him, his way to the cross, his death and resurrection, you make us your children. In him, the first
+commandment is complete, when we open our heart, our mind, our life to you, Lord. You are our God!
