About Me
What is GRACE?
God gave me 30 yrs. of GRACE before He opened my eyes to see, hear and know what an incredible sacrifice He made when He sent His only son, Jesus Christ, to suffer and die on a cross for the sins that I committed against Him.
For so many years I thought because I was this basically good person, (I went to church every Sunday and I wasn't as bad as some people), I thought that I was OK. I even thought maybe I would go to heaven, someday.
Have you ever told a lie? I have, everybody has... even little white lies. So does that make us little liars?
Ok, so I never murdered anyone...did you know that Jesus said even if you have been angry at your brother/(sister), it is the same as murder? So what does that make us? Murderers?
I'm faithful to my wife...did you know that according to Jesus, he says of you have ever looked at someone in lust, you have committed adultery in your heart? So that makes us Adulterers?
Have you ever wanted to have something so much or to be like someone so bad that you did everything in your power to get it or be like them? That's idolatry, God says to not make false idols.
I you ever used the God/Jesus' name in vain? I did. That makes us Blasfemers.
Taken something that wasn't yours, stolen something, taken credit for something you didn't do or deserve to? We are Thieves...
We are lying, murderous, adultering, idolatrous, blasfeming, thieves.
God is a righteous judge, who cannot stand sin.
Romans 3:23 says: "...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
So if you died tonight where do you think you would be, in heaven or hell?
Jesus said in John 3:3 "I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
Are you concerned about that?
I'm really concerned for you if you have not asked God to forgive you for your sins that would cause you to live in hell for eternity, separated from Him...
How can you be sure that you are going to live eternity in heaven with God?
"You see, at just the right time when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:6-8
That's incredible! God would love me...and you that much!
John 3:16 says: "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
So, what are you going to do about it?
Romans 10:9-10 says: "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord", and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."
If you want to be sure you are saved pray something like this: "Dear God, I realize that I am condemned to hell for my sins against you. But, I believe that your Son, Jesus Christ is Lord, He died for my sins on the cross, was dead, buried and raised to life again. Jesus, I ask that you forgive me for my sins. Thank you God. Amen!
If you just prayed this prayer, rejoice and tell a friend about it!
Grace is: Getting what we don't deserve.
