We go to church, read the bible because of what god has done for us, we don't do it for him.
Salvation is a life of healing and letting God use you and do something through you to make someone else's life better. When you receive Christ as your saviour he opens the door for you to have a very intimate relationship with God.
John 14:23. "Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them"
There is a lot more to being a Christian than just going to church. Church should only be a minor part of our overall walk with God. We go to church to learn His Word facilitated by a pastor then we ought to go out and live His Word.
Where are you going to spend eternity and what are you going to do with the rest of your life?
Following Christ is a decision not a feeling. The Word of God is real, it is our reality and it is incredibly powerful. God sent his son to us so that we might have a relationship with God himself. God forgives all our sins if we let him into our life. God created you and he is the only one who knows how to run your life perfectly. We as Christians worship a God who is alive, a resurrected Saviour. JESUS IS ALIVE!
Mark 16:2-6 In this verse we read about the angel in the tomb when the stone was rolled back. Jesus died for us but was raised from the dead by God. He was raised in order that we might be raised and live a resurrected life.
2 Corinthians 5:17 "all things become brand new" . We can all have a new beginning by receiving God's gift of salvation. God wants to come and live inside you. You can be resurrected from the past, abuse, sins and so on because we have a risen saviour. You can be lifted up out of all of that. It's not so important how you begin your new life but how you finish it. A life time with God has an awesome finish to look forward to - eternity.
if you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus is who he is and what he did he will come and live in you. We are the home of god. We can't just want Jesus, we need to be ready to give ourselves to Jesus in order to be resurrected. You have to want to live the way God wants you to live. let God come live inside you and begin to live the most amazing journey you ever dreamed possible. God wants to be involved in everything that you do, he will turn you upside down and inside out. You cannot and will not have this relationship if you want to keep God in a box only taken out on a Sunday morning. You need to let him into every area of your life. God never ever, ever asks us to do anything unless it is going to be the best thing for us.
Being a Christian is not hard, being a sinner is hard! Anger, jealousy, drugs and adultery are hard. Walking with God is not hard. Don't let the devil put the lie in your head that it's hard to be a Christian. Becoming a Christian is the best thing you will ever do with your life. I can testify to that.
Know the truth and have the truth set you free. No man can go to heaven on their own good works, ie reading the bible but not putting the Word into action. God is not for sale, you cannot buy him. The only way is to surrender yourself.
I SURRENDER AND I RECEIVE YOU. Amen!
