Something I've been thinking about lately... A lot of us become lazy or indifferent and stop doing what God has called us to do. We simply go on with our lives as if nothing has changed. What is a christian if we simply do whatever we please. The only difference is that we have "fire insurance". Is that ALL you accepted Christ for?? To simply know you won't be in Hell for all eternity? Or are you ...truly thankful for what Christ has suffered and sacrificed for you. We were dirt under his feet and He still chose us as his prized possession. If someone saved you from harm, you would feel indebted to them. Why don't we feel the same towards a perfect God who came for us, died a torturous death to save us, who were nothing!! Why don't we strive each day to save the ones lost? We worry about our material possessions when there are children living in dumps in central america, witch doctors in africa, and homeless people outside our doors. Stand up people of God and let your light shine.
Mark 8:36,37 What will you gain, if you own the whole world but destroy yourself? What could you give to get back your soul?
Romans 6:1-4
1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
