The grace of God was really poured out on this generation through Jesus! Amen.
I have a classmate who is also a Christian her name is Ria. Every morning we have this routine, we always do fellowship like talking about our praise reports and how He changed our life and everything about God. There was one time that we talked about sins, I don’t want to tell you about it in detail but the big blow I have learned from her was our generation is really a favored one. She said “We are so favored. Look at the old times, when people had sin they need to ask for forgiveness by burning animals and that sacrifice should be pure because nonetheless you wont be forgiven. But now… Look at our generation because of Jesus we can be easily cleanse by just asking for forgiveness — we don’t need to burn animals anymore we just need to repent. The grace of God is really on us!”
What a great message! Since we have grace that God has given us let us not abuse it. We were set free when Jesus died on the cross for our sins. According to the book of Peter we are free, yet we are God’s slaves, so don’t use our freedom as an excuse to do evil. So once we received Jesus in our life let us not go back from who we were before. Forward always forward! It is really an insult to God that you have known Him and yet you turn away from Him and go back to your former life. (Read 2 Peter 2:21 to understand for what I meant to say).
You miss wild parties all night long? Smoking and drinking bear? How about your immorality and lust? You won’t spend the rest of your life chasing your own desires, you have had enough in the past of the evil things that the godless people do. You might ask me, how can I do that? I don’t know how to start, but I really want to follow Jesus. My friends, my family and everybody knew me as this. They might be persecuting me.
Of course, your godless friends might slander you for being weak and not doing what you were doing before. Let them! They need to face God!
If your friends told you, “Why don’t you want to drink? Try this cigarette.” All you need to do is to tell them that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and by taking care of it we can Honor God. (1 Corinthians 6:19-20)
Cut off your lust! Your eye is the lamp of your body. Always seek to see things without lust and immorality! When your eyes are good, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are bad, your body also is full of darkness. (Luke 11:33-36)
Our lives here on earth is just temporary. We are foreigners in this place! There are a lot of parties in heaven. It is more fun than the parties here on earth. So wait for that time to come! And while waiting be a slave of God, serve Him with all your heart. It is better to be a slave of God than to be slave of sins!
You see… Your past life was really a scrap! God can throw it wherever He likes to. However, it is by grace that God isn’t being so slow in judging us (what I am trying to say here is the Judgment Day). He doesn’t want to judge both the living and the dead because He is still waiting for you to repent! I also had been there, people are persecuting me but all we need to do is fight the good fight of faith. It is better to suffer for doing what is right and if it’s for God than to suffer for doing what is wrong.
When Jesus owns your heart you are not the same person that the people knew, you are a new individual — the old you was gone and the new you was born! You were sinful, evil, wicked, immoral, etc. but Jesus cleansed you when you accepted Him as your personal Lord and Savior. Be glad! You were Born Again! Like a new born babies who crave for delicious milk for nourishment, you also should crave for your spiritual nourishment so that you will grow into a full experience of Salvation. Always taste the Lord’s kindness.
Always eat food’s for soul! yummy………
