Hello everyone! I hope you are having a good day and that you are right with the Lord and your neighbor. I just wanted to start out this blog with a message of hope. If you are reading this and you don't know or are unsure about what it means to have it "right with the Lord" then I hope that by reading this, you can find some answers. In this day and age, in America, it is easy to find a Bible and go to church. So therefore, you have no excuse, if you are saved, to not be right with God. You can go ahead and argue with me but you are the only thing that is holding you back. However, if you are NOT saved (which means to have a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ), then maybe you should keep reading, you might just find what you are looking for. I want you to know that some stuff I put on this blog may not be what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. If you have a Bible, please flip over to Romans 1:28-32. (Romans is a book in the Bible found in the New Testament, near the back of the Bible. Don't worry if you have trouble finding it, just keep searching. It's right after Acts and before 1Corinthians.) It's talking about mankind, and how we ALL are sinners and, verse 32: "They know Gods decree that those who practice such things deserve to die"-
Now please turn to Mark 15:33-39. (Again, just before Luke and after Mathew in the New Testament). It's talking about how Jesus, Gods only son, died for you and me! God sent his son down from heaven to die for the sins we committed! And later, in chapter 19 verse 5-6, he's raised from the dead! Jesus was sinless, therefore, death could not hold him because he didn't deserve to die! Then, in verse 19, he is taken back up to heaven. So therefore, he is still living! And he's promised to come back to take all those who believe with him! Isn't that a wonderful promise? Do you want to believe? Then just say this prayer with me, not just in your mind, but in your heart. "Lord, I know I'm a sinner. I see now that you sent your only son to die for me. I accept your gift to mankind. Jesus please come into my heart. Help me to walk with you, give me strength when I fall. I know that I'm going to mess up, but help me back up again. I long to serve you, and live for you, and obey your commandments. Thank you so much for you wonderful forgiveness Lord. Amen." Now, if you have doubts about your salvation, talk to a pastor or missionary of a church near you, or a Godly friend. Some of the blogs I follow might be of help also. But that's not all! Look in verse 15, and 20. Jesus is saying, before he goes into heaven, to go and spread the good news throughout the world! Tell everyone you know about Gods gift to us and about his mercy and grace! God also commands that you talk with him (pray) and stay in the word every day! Go to a Christian store (Lifeway) or even go on the internet (Ebay, Amazon) and buy a devotional book and a NKJV Bible. (very cheep, usually around 20$). And now, go out and follow the Lord! :)
