A Little Bit About You

A Little Bit About You

I know you may think you know yourself by now; however, other days you may not know who you are as a person or where you are at.  I feel like that a lot of times, but I found an answer for those days.  

Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

This is pretty self explanatory. We all sin or do something that we aren't suppose to do.  We will always do that.  That's only because we aren't perfect though.  We will never be perfect and God isn't asking for us to be perfect.,  God is asking for you to understand the consequences of doing it knowing that its wrong and fixing it.

Romans 6:23  "for the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

If we keep acting in sin without fixing it it can lead to eternal death.  This death is Hell.  Sin leads to Hell, but the Gift that God is trying to give to us is eternal life with Christ.  How do we know this is real?

Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love for us in this:  While we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

Here it shows a beautiful example of love.  While we are in the act of sinning Jesus has died for US. He died in our place.  It isn't His fault that we sin.  It is OUR actions, and only we are responsible of what we do. Jesus still loved us enough to take our place knowing that we will still sin.  

Ephesians 2: 9-10  "not by work, so that no one can boast.  For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advanced for us to do."

We are not suppose to brag about the works that we would call good.  The reason behind that is because at that moment we are doing it to get attention.  which means we are doing it for ourselves. We are GODS handiwork.  So the works that we do we should be doing it to glorify God.  God has plans for as.  he prepared them for us in advanced.  So how do we change our lives around?

Romans 10: 9-10  "If you declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved."

So all you have to do is say that Jesus is Lord, and you have to believe it.  Because you can say one thing but act entirely different.  Your actions will speak Louder then your words.  It will show.  You are the one that can actually make the decision.  Just remember that Christ has a plan for us.  So we don't have to worry about what will happen in the future.  Because we belong to God, out father, and He will watch over and protect us.
