Why did God leave the earth?

God’s realm is Heaven and that is where He sits and reigns. Jesus, as we know, was God in flesh. Jesus came to this world for one reason, to save us from sin. Part of the salvation plan required Jesus to live, then be crucified and killed, and then to rise again on the third day to show the world that He conquered death. Jesus then ascended to heaven where He sits until His second coming. We don’t know exactly when that will be…no one does. BUT, we must prepare for His return because that’s part of God’s unstoppable plan.

God left the earth but that doesn’t mean His presence isn’t here. Look at this beautiful planet we live on and all of the different people, plants, animals, lakes, mountains, rivers, deserts…all of the majesty of God’s creation. How could we possibly say that God’s not here with us? God is also present when you need Him. God has the power to be everywhere and to know everything…pretty amazing, huh? My brain doesn’t understand how He can do that but I know, through faith, that He can do that.

God may have physically left the earth but His presence and His glory is all around us. Jesus left, temporarily, because it was all part of God’s salvation plan to bring us closer to Him, through faith.
