When I was born, I was given a name and a birth certificate with it giving me my first name , middle name, and last name, and my parents had to sign it letting the State know I was their child. In May of 1966, I not only was a citizen of Georgia and The United States of America, but a far better citizenship I was made a citizen of Heaven.
I was ten years old, but I saw my need to have Jesus Christ in my life and I realized that in order for me to get to Heaven, I had to repent of my sins and ask Jesus to come into my heart and life, and be my Lord and Savior.
It does'nt matter what you have done, or how your life has been. Jesus stands ready to scoop you up into His arms and take all the hurt and pain you've received . No one gets out of this life without tests and trials. I have had my faith tested many times and sometimes to the point where I wondered WHO was in control of my life, and where was God? When I shattered my kneecap and the main bone inside my kneecap, ( the patella bone) I had two surgeries back to back and that was one of the lowest points in my life ever. I shed alot of tears, trying to stay alive with all the injuries I sustained. I had to cling to The Lord, and it was a day by day relationship.
If you are a christian , it might be that you feel unloved because of sin in your life, or maybe you have never met Jesus Christ in a Personal way. You and I as believers won't reach perfection until we see Jesus in Glory. Maybe, you've lived a lilly-white life, as a christian, but you allowed Satan to get a Stronghold over your life. The Bible says that Satan is like a Roaring Lion seeking whom He may devour." Jesus loves you, but that old snake the Devil, He's out to destroy you. If you and I know Jesus as our Lord and Savior, He wants all of our heart and not just part of it. We can not straddle the fence. Give over that part that you can't control to The Lord, and stand back and watch God give you peace like you've never seen before.
To that person who does not know Jesus in a Personal Way, you may be wealthy and say:" I don't need God." "I can buy my way to Heaven." Religion does'nt get you there, no one can buy there way into Heaven,, nor can you Work your way to Heaven. Romans 3:23-"For all have sinned and come short of The Glory of God."Romans 3:10 says-"All have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Romans 5:5-8-lets you and I know that "God commends His love toward us (you and I, that while we were yet sinners...here's the Best part! "Christ died for us". If you want to know what you mean to Jesus Christ..He's the Only One who would come into this world just to die for your sins! No one else will do that for you or me! Romans 6:23 lets us know that "The payment for sin is DEATH!...But...the GIFT of GOD is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord!"
