I Peter 1:9- “…for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.”
For as long as I can remember, people have been fascinated by robots. And, every so many years, a new generation of robots is introduced, capable of so much more than their predecessors.
This week, on television, I was astounded to see a female robot with a modern haircut and wearing a stylish skirt and blouse.
The robot was so lifelike, it was incredible. It was one of the new line of “social robots” that are said to have personalities and emotions of their own. They show, and react to, facial expressions, engage in conversations, and even make eye contact. One such robot is actually “working” behind a Welcome Desk at a Singapore university!
While technology may produce lifelike robots that are difficult to tell from real persons, be assured that we will never see them in heaven.
Man may be capable of creating a lot of amazing things, but he cannot create a living soul.
Only God can do that.
And, only human beings with souls can experience what it’s like to have faith in God and receive the gift of salvation, the “end result of our faith.”
