Your relationship with Jesus and God is supposed to be based on love. He has loved you since before the world was created, so you and I need to return at least a little of that by loving Him for all of the blessings that He has given to you. Your life, your family and even the breath that you take in and out so many times each day. Your heart was designed by Him as well as all of the chemical actions that take place in your body every second of every day so you can be…well, you!
Consider all of the little things that happen and they HAVE to happen so you can get up every day. Each of them is orchestrated and guided by God, so your life is a miracle during every minute of every day and it is given to you by your Creator. So…be thankful for every second that you have because you don’t know how many you have left.
In America there hasn’t been a king for over two centuries, in fact, since we have been a country there hasn’t been a king, just a President elected by the people. But spiritually, America has been a bit on the fence when it comes to choosing a Savior. We are free to worship as we choose, so if we don’t want to go to a church or other religious place…we can choose not to.
But, God sent Jesus to the Earth so that we can be forgiven for our sinful actions if we will choose to believe in Him for our salvation. This belief must come with a deep commitment to follow Him and His teachings and to learn more about Him and the way God wants us to live. To do this we must study God’s Word daily and pray about what we read so the Holy Spirit can teach us more about our new way of life. The learning curve isn’t hard, but placing our faith in Him can be at first. We have been sinners without the Holy Spirit, usually for much longer than we have been saved. At first our old way of thinking will still be very much in control of our thoughts and that can only be changed by the Spirit and by reading and studying God’s Word.
One day in the future the church will be taken up and the world will be without pastors or churches for the most part. I beg you to seek out a church today and learn more about this Savior and the Life that He offers to everyone if we will seek Him and give our hearts to Him, turning away from our old life and living in the new way of following Him.
