You Can’t Earn, Buy, Steal, Manipulate, Beg or Borrow It

 

Since the beginning of time or should it be said, since the beginning of man, contrariness to God has been the mindset of the human condition.

Jesus gave His life to make a way for anyone who will, to return to the way God intended. Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. What was impossible to do for ourselves, Jesus did.

We cannot earn, buy, steal, manipulate, beg or borrow our right to heaven. If we could, then Jesus would not have had to give His life in our place. He is the perfect sacrifice, we could never be. Eternity rests on the choice we make in this life to accept that perfect sacrifice.

 

 

 

Thoughts on a Blank Piece of Paper

~~~

Staring at a blank paper and hoping for inspiration,

Is like staring at the snow and hoping for a flower.

~

Quoting scripture is easy; applying it to life is difficult.

Walking in the Spirit is not a role in a play.

 ~

Intellectual knowledge of God will die with the body,

Heartfelt knowledge of God will live forever.

 ~

Religion is ritualistic repetition,

Faith is one unknown step after another.

 ~

Thinking you will get to heaven without Jesus

Is like trying to entering a building with no door.

The Power of God

 

Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed.

Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29 NKJV)

 ~~~

Seeing is believing according to this world’s standards. “Prove it” is the “sight-faith” motto. Thomas doubted until he could see and touch with his eyes and hands. All too often, Christians are caught up in this “show me” thought process. Christian faith is believing what you cannot hear, see or prove…yet, believing with the heart that it is true…beyond any shadow of doubt. It is the Power of God!

 ~~~

 “…without faith it is impossible to please Him,

for he who comes to God must believe that He is…”

 Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
