Live 4 The LORD

How I came to CHRIST

Something has gone terribly wrong with humanity, with life, and with reality. Things are not as they should be. Something is bent, wrong, broken. Not just others, me too. (lack of integrity, selfishness, habitual sin)

How to make it through this life: (Hedonist, Stoic, Nihilist) or CHRISTIANITY

 

We were created good by God, who is provident, and who loves you. Good Nature and Graces. It is possible for you to have communion with him. He wants that.

It hangs on a condition. We were Created for God. We are from God and for God. But will we do it the way that God wills? We have to embrace our dependency. Life is a gift that we have to live on his terms. Be reconciled and embrace this true reality.

 

We originally said no (collectively in Adam) Now we have devastation. Because their choice is our choice. There is no way out of this choice in the human realm. We are held perpetually responsible for our sin and the world has become a trap and a torture chamber with our thoughts and feelings riddled with lies and deception.

 

We cannot fix ourselves; we cannot save ourselves. We lack the means to be made for God again in our humanity. We feel the disconnect, there are good things in this world, but we know deep in our soul, there must be more to this life. We want to be God’s again (walking with Him in the garden together again.) His Sons and Daughters!

 

We are ALL Guilty, we all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. We, even now still continue to choose against God.

 

BUT We do not have to be left to ourselves. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE:

God has chosen to meet us. He has chosen to meet us in our catastrophe. We can be justified by Grace as a GIFT through the redemption in Christ who God put as an expiation by his Blood to be received by FAITH. He justifies he who has faith. We don’t have a right to it. 

How do we do it? BEG! We boast only in our lowliness, our misery.

Call upon the Mercy of the ONLY ONE who can save us. 

And we don’t do it alone, Jesus has assumed our condition. He has done it from top to bottom, the entire life. And he did not need or have to!

JESUS took on our human body, our human mind, our emotions, our human soul, our heart, and even our human sin. HE CALLS UPON THE MERCY OF GOD with Us and For Us!

He begs for your heart and your heart begs for Christ! Bring all your experience (bewilderment, dissatisfaction, imperfection, even SIN) God Makes all things work for Good for those who love him, EVEN YOUR SIN.

Ask FOR Him! He Intends to Give you himself!
