The way of faith

It is never easy to follow the path God promised.
"Matthew was martyred in Ethiopia and died of a sword wound. John was thrown into a large oil pan during the Roman persecution, but he miraculously survived. John was exiled to the coal mine of Patmos Island Prison to serve his sentence. The book of Revelation was written on Patmos. Later the apostle John was released back to what is now called Turkey. He died at a high age and was the only apostle who died in peace.
Jacob, the brother of Jesus (not officially ’S apostle), the leader of the Jerusalem church, was thrown from the top of the southeast tower of a temple more than a hundred feet high when he refused to deny his faith in Christ. When his enemies found that he was alive after falling, they used The club beat him to death. This is the same top of the tower where Satan tempted Jesus.
Bartholomew, also known as Nathanael, went to Asia for missions. He is witnessing in Turkey today because he preached in Armenia He was killed and whipped to death. Andre was crucified to death in Greece. Seven soldiers tied him to the cross with ropes to prolong his suffering after violently whipping Andre. His followers The report said that when Andre was led to the cross, he used these words to pay tribute to the cross: "I have been looking forward to this joyous moment for a long time. The cross was made holy because of Christ’s body on which he was nailed.” Two days before his death, he kept preaching to his tormentors. The apostle Thomas was stabbed to death with a spear when he went to India to preach and establish a church. Matthias replaced the betrayal. Jesus’ apostle of Judas was stoned and then beheaded. The apostle Paul was beheaded after being tortured by the Roman tyrant Nero in 67 AD.” ( http://www.gotquestions.org/chinese/Chinese-death-apostles.html )
The Lord Jesus Christ was incarnate at that time, bearing the wages of sin for the world, and suffered tremendous hardships and hardships. He was nailed to the cross and rose from the dead three days later and returned to the right hand of the Father.
Therefore, Eli will not be afraid of life and death, because God's entrustment and trials to him are never more than man can bear; God's way is to make people have the hope of eternal life. God’s gospel will also be spread through perseverance, just as Eli finally preached the Lord’s gospel to Solar.
God is merciful and merciful, so even though the Jews in the wilderness walked for 30 years and kept betraying the Lord, they could finally reach the promised land of Canaan; therefore, God even gave a single beloved son to the world to bear man’s sins; so Eli followed Experience all kinds of pain, but finally there is comfort.
Those who try to use God and control God will eventually be destroyed. God is not an idol. The only function of the Bible is to spread the word of God, and nothing else. This is also well explained in this film.
For people of faith, this is indeed a good movie.

The Book of Eli quotes

  • Eli: They say the war tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.

    Solara: Yeah.

    Eli: The war tore a hole in the sky, the sun came down, burnt everything, everyone, I wandered, I didn't really know what I should do or where I was going. I was just moving from place to place, trying to stay alive. And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. But I could hear it clear as day. Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. It told me to carry the book west, it told me that a path would be laid out before me, that I'd be led to a place where the book would be safe. It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. If only I would have faith. That was thirty years ago and I've been walking ever since.

    Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?

    Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it

  • Hoyt: [seeing two dead hijackers] It's like he's protected somehow. Like there's nothing that can touch him

    Carnegie: Oh, he's just a fucking man. You put a bullet in him, he'll go down like any other.
