Newton’s Law

Newton’s third law states that “for every action there is an equal (in size) and opposite (in direction) reaction”. A good example of this law is a moving car. The wheels on the car spin forward pushing backward on the road which in turn propels the car forward. Another example could be jumping. To jump a person must bend their knees and press backward on the ground with some force while lifting their weight up in ordered to be propelled upward.

So simply stated, Newton’s third law teaches us that to be propelled forward you will have to push something backward. As Christians, Newton’s law can apply to our lives. If we want to propel forward we will need to push something backward. When we get married we have to leave our father and mother and cleave to each other. When we get saved we leave the old life and old way of thinking and doing and become new in Christ.

If you’ve been wanting to propel forward and wondered why it is not happening, then maybe you need to consider what you need to push backward.
