As far as this movie is concerned, it can be said that it is very real. Let's talk about the following points.
1. The reaction of the unbelieving host when he rejects his belief.
2. Relationship
3. Human pride and lack
4. What is love
1. Unbelief The reaction of the master when he rejects the faith.
It can be said that in the United States, it is very successful to be able to make such a gospel film, whether it is the choice of the subject matter or the authenticity of the story. Most Chinese people are atheists, but in the United States, the so-called believers from childhood actually don't believe in the Lord at all. The male protagonist is a representative of most people who have believed in the Lord since childhood. When he encountered the problem of marriage, his father, who had changed from unbelief to faith, helped him. His rejection of belief at first was obviously contrary to what he said he knew about God when he was a child. I actually don't believe it. The brighter part of this movie here is that the director, through his remarks and dialogues against the protagonist of rejecting belief, hit the biggest reason for many people who do not believe in God.
2.
People who do not know God will use their own values to judge whether they are good or bad. But this will feel illogical under careful scrutiny, because everyone's standards are different. This is not to mention fairness or justice. So when the protagonist and his wife quarreled, both sides' remarks were to measure each other according to their own standards. Since God created man, he has revealed relationships in various ways. It's just that people fall into depravity because of their own selfish desires and only love themselves. Therefore, in various relationships, they will feel that their mother is nagging about things that he does not like to hear, and they will feel that their father is always talking about beliefs that he does not like. You don't always get the respect you deserve at work at home. When everything starts from oneself, Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit, and all the descendants of mankind live for themselves, everything is tainted by original sin.
3. Human pride and lack
Most people do not treat gods as gods, they clearly know that the universe is huge and so wonderful, the nature of the earth is amazing and beautiful, but it is full of love, but they still stubbornly say: "There is no god! Everything happens naturally. And the protagonist represents a class, from the perspective of human morality, who is proud of himself when he is engaged in a great cause, and is called by everyone a hero who saves lives, a good man. Yes, but this will not work when God finally comes to the world to carry out a completely righteous judgment, because God is based on His standards, not any judgement method of a self-righteous person. The truth is revealed in the film through a question before the protagonist repents. He asked, "What kind of person can still love that person under the repeated torture of others?" His father, standing beside the glorious cross, smiled and said to him, "That's a good question." Because his father knew that at this moment God was leading him to think, to think, about love, about human pride, and incompetence. He always thought that all the problems were with his wife, and he saw at this moment that even though he tried to save him, his wife still ignored him, he couldn't love anymore, because he was on the verge of collapse , because he realizes how weak, powerless, and insignificant his so-called love is, as if it is not the great power of love described by the poet.
4. What is love
Then, with his father's answer, revealed the truth of what love is and what love is. Because in today's society, selfish desire, lust and love have been clearly distinguished. Only when people return to the original God's definition of love can they feel what love is. Because God is love, and God loves us not because we are good or bad, worthy or unworthy. Unconditional love, while people are conditional, is not love. It's all for the sake of reward, to satisfy oneself. But who can love like God? The film tells us that the answer is: if people rely on themselves, it is impossible, and they must clearly understand this before they can know their true self. Because true love is received from God, how can one give such a thing to others if one does not receive it? But God was so merciful, and gave his Son Jesus, so that we might have God Himself. Jesus did not commit any sin in his life, and he did not do anything that was condemned as sin according to God's standards. Later, the Jews nailed him to the cross and humiliated him. Before he died, he said The greatest sentence in human history: "Father, you forgive them, because they do not know what they have done!" That's right, the question that the protagonist asked before repentance has the answer, so he trusts the Lord again. Jesus, because he knew that what he could not do, his Lord could do, he trusted in him, depended on him, and the Lord Jesus was in heaven right now, praying for him before God the Father.
Finally, I just want to say that if you don't know Jesus and haven't read his story, please don't jump to the conclusion that you've taken a negative view of something you already know. Or, you have already decided that belief has nothing to do with you in a half-knowledge situation. You know, in this day and age, everything is moving fast. Think about it, if the Word of God is like this, and things related to your own life are like this, do you think it is possible? If you ignore the last thing that matters to you, why treat yourself like this?
