The Promise Of Heaven>>>more
from InTouch Ministries
It's so awesome that Christ Jesus shed His blood for us not to only have a wonderful place when we get to heaven but that we truly enjoy ourselves here on earth as well. I here non-believers say over and over again that the Christian life is 'so boring' but I beg to differ. Now that I have Christ in my life, not only can I strive for heaven but strive for goals here on earth as well.
To many of us Christians sometime to put ourselves on 'auto pilot' once we announce God as our Lord and Savior. We think we should just let people walk all over us, not strive for goals for our family and ourselves, not take care of our body...just let ourselves go.
This is not what Jesus died for, he gave up SO much for you and I; and just to let it all go to wayside is not only wasteful but hurtful to God. He has put different gifts in each and everyone of us to bring Him glory. Material things are not everything, money is not everything but we as Christians have to show the world that becoming saved does not only mean being humble, we have to show them we are just as bold, courageous, looking good, having the best without going into debt, being the 'head and not the tail'.
Makes you wonder why people strive to be in the world instead of striving to be a Christian. Think about it.
Create in my children pure hearts. O god, and let that purity of heart be shown in their lives.
