Jesus: He's worth it
So...since this is my first post I would like to say something before I get started, sometimes I'm gonna be so serious and passionate its not even funny, somedays it'll be funny or just this is what happened today, and sometimes Its going to be totally pointless and random. Today is on the serious side....I know that might scare you away but I don't really care. (okay I care but I'm gonna be serious anyway)
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the father except through me." John 14:6 (NIV) You know what this means? It means the only way to get to Heaven is to accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and surrender yourself to him. Your whole self. Most people don't want to do this, it's not worth it to them, they "want to gave a good time" they don't want to give drugs, alcohol, or whatever else they have. Or they're content with just being a good person because that should be enough, shouldn't it? No its not. Being a good person does not get you into Heaven. Going to church doesn't get you into Heaven either. I once heard a man say "Going to church makes you a Christian just like going to McDonald's makes you a bigmac..." and its true. Just because you go to church doesn't mean you get a free pass into heaven.
God, sent his son (Jesus) to earth. He was born to a virgin (making him human so he understands everything we go through) yet he had no "earthly father" (not biologically anyway) and he was 100% sinless (also making him 100% God(while still human) and the perfect sacrifice.) He was crucified on a cross, and his blood was shed for our sins (he was the ultimate sacrfice, no more sacrificing goats and sheep) and he rose again 3 days after his death (giving is a way to Heaven). So to go to Heaven, you have to recognize your sin and repent for them (be seriously sorry and ask God for forgiveness), accept Christ as your saviour and Lord over your life, surrender yourself to him and live for him, give up your old ways, stay in the bible, go to church (fellowship is important), tell others about God, and LIVE IT OUT!!!! This means giving up your old ways, whether it drugs, alcohol, cussing, or maybe its just simply not living for God. You can be a good person and still go to Hell. People say all the time that they want to go to Heaven and they believe in God, but....... there's always that word. But they don't want to give up whatever is wrong, they 're happy with their live, they want to wait...etc. there are soooo many buts in the world and they all do one thing, keep you from God. Giving up drugs, or friends, or whatever it is, is going to be hard, but its worth it! God is worth it! Do you really want to spend an eternity in Hell because you wanted to have a little fun first? Or because you just couldn't give up that joint? Not only does God want you to go to Heaven but he wants a Relationship with you!!! He's already your creator but he wants to be your, Father, Brother, and Best Friend! Once again he can only be these things if you let hime be and you do that through salvation, giving yourself to Christ. Now here's the other thing people face, "it all just sounds like a bunch of rules and regulations." Yes there are rules because you have to live by God's standards which means surrendering yourself to God, giving up your old ways etc. but its not just rules...God truely loves you! That's why he dies for you...thats why he made a way for you to get into Heaven.
Personal Story: for what ever reason I feel the need to share. If you don't know me or aren't my best friend here's something you might not know...my self-esteem, self-worth, self-confidence is zero...I mean it. When I look at myself through my eyes all I see is a fat, ugly, stupid girl. I can name on one hand the people that know this is how I feel (well now its more...) and there are five of them my MA from Costa Rica, Liz, and four best friends, Caleb, Tayler, Chelsea, and God. no joke. When I got saved I was 5 so I didn't have self-esteem issues....but right around oh 7th grade had the typical self-esteem issues........each year they got a little worse. Now I was/am a Christian but that didn't mean my problem just went away. In fact it means that Satan sees this as my weakness and he uses it to his advantage...I dont know how many times Satan has "attacked" me by saying "Your soo stupid." "Hey fatty no one (guy) will ever love you." one night I was actually at a youth conference and I was just praying and singing and out of no where I hear this whisper, "You are sooo beautiful." God wrapped his arms aound me and told me over and over "You are beautiful, you are my daughter. Just look at yourself through my eyes." You know what now when I look in the mirror I do my best to look at myslef through God's eyes. That doesn't mean I have super great self-confidence, it does mean I know I'm beautiful...and on the days when Satan tells me Im ugly or stupid...or even on the days when I tell myself Im fat...God tells me Im beautiful and God can't lie, its in the bible, he can't. That's the kind od relationship I have with my father, God. I gave up some habits and friends when I became a Chritsian or when I stand up for my morals....but its worth it.
"The Rain falls on the Just and unjust alike." (Matthew....something I'll let you know later, lol)
So yeah its not going to be easy...bad stuff happens to good people, you're going to loose friends, families can be mean, you'll have to give up old habits and addictions, and Satan is going to attack you in ways you never dreamed. I remember a guy my dad was talking too once, he said "I got saved las year."
My dad said"Amazing! How has it been?"
The guy answered "The worste year of my life. My wife left me, she took my kids, and I lost my job....but God has been with me every step of the way. Its been worth it."
Its not easy but it is worth it!
