The question of where you will be used to haunt me. Know why? Because I
really did not know for certain what would happen to me if I died since
I had sinned so much in my life. It did not seem right that I could have
anything good after all that. I had hurt the guy I was dating in high
school. I hurt my parents incredibly. There were others too. I wasn’t
that nice of a person. It was all about me, me, me. If that didn’t work
then I just left and found others who would likely be hurt too.
Thing is, the sins just simply overwhelmed me. It caused all kinds of
fear and dread. So, what did I do about it? Nothing. Life goes on.
Things change. Things are always wrong. Life is a pain. Why does anyone
want to live it like that in the first place?
Whoa! It was time for me to stop and take a good look at what I
believed. When I did, it scared me more than the sin did. God chose that
time to call me to Himself. It was such a blessing and a miracle. You
can have this too. But how? I read a really good article on this subject.
You can go to hell if you want to, But you are an idiot if you do
because you do NOT have to.
"Lord, I know I’m unworthy, but . . . "
How many prayers have you heard or said that included those words or
words to that effect? The idea is that we are supposed to be humble
before God and remember that we are "just an old sinner saved by grace."
Well, if you are saved by grace, then you are NOT an old sinner! You are
an EX-sinner!
2 Corinthians 5:21, "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew
no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him."
This makes it clear that when a you accept Jesus and are born again,
you are not a sinner anymore, you are remade into the righteousness of
God. This gives us the right and ability to come directly into the
presence of God and speak directly to Him without cowering and being
afraid that you will be zapped by a bolt of lightning or something.
