Jesus said that it is harder for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven than it is for a camel to walk through the eye of a needle! (Matthew 19:24) Wow! Jesus was pretty clear on this concept. This tells me that the love of money and things and power will keep you from truly experiencing the fullness and wholeness of the love of God that he freely gives!
Why allow yourself to love money and things more than truly experiencing love from a Living God who actively pursues us with His grace and mercy? David says that no matter where you go in life, God is there and if He is not, He can see you and know your heart. (Psalm 139).
It is not hard to become a Christian, but if your heart is not willing to accept Him, you will suffer the trials of this dark world in the worst way, without His help and guidance. You cannot have both this dark world and the kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy… (Romans 14:17).
And once you have Jesus, He has promised to send you the Comforter, that is the Spirit of God to guide you. As Christians we are in the world, but not apart of it. But you have to accept Jesus into your heart
Jesus said that in this world you will have trouble. (John 16:33) He goes on to say that He has overcome the world. Why not put your trust in the One who has already overcome this troubled world?
Thought
What must I do to be saved?
Ask God to reveal Himself to you in a real way. Pray this prayer:
Lord Jesus, thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I am a sinner. Please forgive me of my sins and be Lord of my life. Show me the way, the truth, and the life. Help me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Prayer
Dear God, Put a sense of urgency in the hearts of all who read this blog and are not already saved that they might come to understand how important it is to call upon your name, Lord Jesus, and be saved.
