Ladies, gentlemen, good people of the world, the time is here to take a good hard look at where you are and where you believe you are going. Do you qualify yourself as a believer? By believer I mean that you believe that you’re good with God and when this whole shindig called life is over, you will be sitting pretty. Or maybe you qualify yourself as a “good” person–you pretty much don’t do any of the “bad” sins like murder or rape or stealing from your mother..?
Well beloveds–I would like to perhaps blow your mind by telling you in no uncertain terms that there is only one way to get to that good place that we all hope to be in after this life is over–that way is Jesus Christ. He is the Son of God and a couple of thousand years ago, he did in fact die as the most perfect and self less sacrifice this world has ever seen. He did not die for the good church folk, or the the people that did the pretty bad things, he died for YOU. God loves you like you’re the only person that exists on Earth. He loves you more than church people SAY they love you, my dears. There are a few truths that I can say confidently and it is totally up to you to research, choose, and BELIEVE — but it does not make them any less true. But these are truths that will absolutely without a doubt CHANGE your life
1. Jesus was a REAL person, He really was the Son of God, and He really did die for the sins of the whole world (John 14:6)
2. The bible is a collection of writings and stories that is “God Breathed” meaning that is was directed and inspired by God Himself its not just a “good” story or something made up!
3. There REALLY is a Heaven and a Hell and whether you end up there is NOT up to your good works, its up to the ONE single most important choice that you can make while you’re here on Earth– Jesus is that choice.
Whew! Okay, with that said, it’s back to the afore mentioned GO time. People let’s get on with the beautiful fight of believing! Let’s decide to believe the truth and let that transform us one area (or in my personal case a few) at a time! Let’s throw away that idea of being perfect and hold fast to the beauty of believing the good that God has said about us making us compassionate people full of the best stuff there is –LOVE! And honey, it ain’t easy, but it’s worth it! Loving God is not about condemning others but sharing a better way and understanding that there is NO problem on EARTH that does not find its answer in GOD’s word..A BOLD statement yes, but nonetheless it is also true. God’s word is certainly unchangeable (Hebrews 13:8) and it is also ALIVE and able to change your life because its not just words on a page (Hebrews 4:12,Amplified Bible).
So….As a woman, with REAL issues, character flaws, hopes, dreams, and yes JUNK that I need help with, this is GOOD news! There is nothing on this EARTH that can substitute the pure joy of being taken care of, healed, and experiencing hope where there was none before. So let’s GET it people! If you’ve been receiving GOOD word let’s challenge ourselves to get up and HELP without that harsh judgement…If you don’t know Christ! Learn about HIM read about his life from the bible or better yet CHOOSE Him today. Your life will never be the same.
Love ya!
