Hey! Jesus loves you! :)
Usually found in msgs and facebook posts. A lot of young people today are party rockers like. . . .
" Hey dude? wanna go and party tonight? let's have fun and enjoy!" ;D
Yes indeed, and it's obvious right? Young people hate it when they are inside the church. They said it's SO boring. Sometimes they just wanted to go to find their crush! Literally speaking, some of them don't listen but talks to someone, or else sleep or grab their cellphones and suddenly wake up when the preaching is over,
and then?
It's rock time baby! Back to normal, back to worldly things.
They just don't give importance in going to church. I hope you're not that kind of person.
Yeah:)
" John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His Only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlastig life "
It's . . . . . . . . . . the Bible's heart.
Back when I was just 9-10 years old I did remember. I keep and keep on repeating sinner's prayer and recieved Jesus Christ many times. It's weird right? Today there's an altar call, I recieved Christ. next next next sunday there's an altar call again I recieved Chist for the Second time, and lastly the same story i recieved Jesus Christ again.
I mean, does it really really mean that I am really going to Heaven? Cause, I have recieved Jesus Christ many times???
Whew. that's my nature, I didn't understand what salvation truly is, because of my expectations. It's taken for granted. I didn't recognize the true meaning of recieving Jesus. But I know Jesus even i was still a child.
Because of what I did, It's all useless. I just wanted to hide myself to them.
Here's my point before, one of my reason why I stand up and go to the altar when It's altar call is that, if I won't join the crowd, I will be left over! Sitting all by myself while others are crying,repenting and repeating sinner's prayer. . .Gosh! .Well, I am concern absolutely for myself. . . only for myself. About, What will happen if I won't join the crowd? I'm selfish. It's a total shame dude.
I guess you can relate,. example it's preaching time. Gosh, it's boring I wanna go to C.R. or else go out and drink water, talk to someone or sleep
It's what we call Physically pesent but absolutely absent spiritually, that's the real me before. . . .
But know what? that habit ended when I suddenly realized and digested God's word saying in
John 3:16 "John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His Only begotten son . . . "
The word SO LOVED did struck my heart,
tears begun to fall down that I can't control my feelings, I realized how God loved the world that He is willing to give His one and only son for the whole world to be saved. He did that Because of his great love. I mean, He can sacrifice a lot of angels for the whole world to be saved, but why? He gave his one and only son to show us that He loves us more than his own son. It' such a big deal ever. That's an unmerited favor.
I was wrong to take it for granted and gave no importance to salvation which can't be bought.
God's love is the most amazing thing ever, that if you try to realize how great He is, you'll start praising him all day long with a joyful and peaceful heart. After reading the passage, It was december 29 when I truly recieved Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. I can claim that i am God's child and I can go to heaven because of the great authority of being his child.
Well I don't know what will happen next, what trials I am going to face or challenges and problems maybe. But I know that I'm not going all by myself. God is within me,
and I'm ready to face . . . .
life's journey.
Self reflection:
Dear reader,
I recieved Jesus and I was totally contented and satisfied for what I have today. If you did not recieve Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior. What I can say is
" TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION "
We know that the person who did not recieve Christ will definitely go to Hell. I'm not threatening, but it's the fact. I once was lost and also afraid to go to hell because It's everlasting! Once you go there? you will always be there forever and ever.Forever pain, torture and also there are worms that will definitely eat your soul alive! By the way that worms can't be burned.
But, in heaven? Forever and ever satisfaction! Only those who recieved Jesus Christ and live thier lives holy and pure can go to heaven.
Realize how great is our God. Right when Adam and Eve sinned, God didn't abandon them but instead He cared. That time when Hezekiah got a terrible disease He just prayed and God showed His great mercy by giving hezekiah 15 more years to live. Imagine? True sincerity matters. Humble heart and happy soul. God can only give additional years. He is so great and amazing! He is one true God.
I am requesting you right now to pray and ask ffor forgiveness of sins. All your sins! After confessing talk to the Lord that, Lord, I accept you as my personal Lord and savior, please Lord right my name in the book of life.......(continue praying, pour out your emotion to Jesus)
After praying..
CONGRATULATIONS! You are know God's child! Today is your spiritual birthday :)
Read bible and pray everyday :)
