It amazes me how anyone could not accept the love of Christ. Here's a man that died for us, was beaten for us, humiliated for us, spit upon for us and yet we as a society constantly turn our back on him. We reject him because of our pride and love of sin. Let's face the facts GOD LOVES YOU! So many people don't take the time to truly spend time with him and have a relationship with him. How do you do that? Read his Word, the Bible and pray. When you do that, you learn first hand for yourself about his love, mercy and grace. The Bible is all you need to learn what God loves and what God hates. You don't need a "companion book" to the Bible. There is only one word of God, and it's the Bible. Read it, love it and live it. He will change your life. Turn your back on the sinful ways of this world, realize that none of that matters. All that matters is your relationship with Jesus. Do we faulter, yes we're human. But we have an Advocate with the Father. Look in 1 John 2:1 ".....and if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous." Does this mean we can sin whenever we want, no it doesn't. As you grow closer to God, you actually start to hate the things God hates and love the things God loves. He puts new desires in your heart and you hate the sinful ways of your life and you start to eliminate that from your life. We're all gonna die and you've only got one of two places your headed. Heaven or hell. I love Jesus Christ my Savior and in the words of D.L. Moody "I'd rather be narrow and right than broad and wrong". |
