Why…?

I have noticed that all of my posts are pointing to and about the same thing. Why? Because God gives me the words to put on this site and He makes sure that my message is about Jesus and what He did for me and for all of us. You might want to ask me, “Why did Jesus die for us?”. God the Son came to Earth to live as one of us for a time so He would know our pains and our weaknesses and the sorrow that we feel in all areas of our lives. He did this because He wanted to do it and because it was the only way to pay the penalty for our sins completely. He also did it because He loves you and me and every person on Earth with a love that we can’t understand.

Just as God gave the words of His Word, the Bible, to the men who wrote it, He gives me the words to write here. No, these words are not in any way equal to His Word but I am writing here to point you to Jesus and the saving grace that God gives to you when you hear His call in your heart. I don’t claim any holiness except that which Jesus gave me when I accepted Him as my Savior and He is still working on me to make me more like Him. Sometimes His work in my life isn’t comfortable or enjoyable but I know that He will complete the work that He began in my life one day.

Your life can be so much more enjoyable than it is because of the joy you will have knowing that your eternity is sealed and you will be going to Heaven one day. Will it be an easy life? Not likely. I don’t say this because becoming a Christian will fix all of your problems. It won’t do that and you will gain a few new problems. Satan has not bothered you before you became a Christian but he will put a target on you now. He, the devil, may have helped you in life to do some things that made your life easier and more enjoyable but he was doing it to keep you from seeking God. I mean if you have enough money and your bills are paid and your family is healthy what do you need God for?

Seek to know God and His Son, Jesus, because it is only by knowing Jesus and Him knowing you that you will have a home in paradise. If you think about it and decide that being a Christian isn’t for you right now that’s okay but are you certain you will have a chance to become one later? Neither of us is guaranteed to be here tomorrow morning. So…what will you do if you die and are standing before God asking to be allowed into heaven? What could you or I possibly do or have done in the past to be good enough to walk into heaven? According to Isaiah “our righteousness is as filthy rags” in the eyes of God. You have to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior and believe that HE alone can save you and make you clean enough to enter into heaven. I pray that you will do this soon before it is too late.
