A Little Break... Sorry

I had a ton of Christmas post plans... but I got a little got up during these last few weeks and as I look at the clock now, it seems to be 2 hours from 2007. I'm very sorry, because I had some good posts for Christmas. I'll save them for next Christmas. I hope all was well for you this Christmas and I hope you all remembered why we celebrate Christmas in the first place. 2,000 years connects us all to the same life line- JESUS CHRIST! Happy New Year everyone, I think 2007 should be a great, prosperous year for all of us who put are faith in the one true GOD and HIS SON, JESUS.
GOD bless U.
Peace.

(P.S. My next post is probably going to be a CD review for my favorite band's newest album. Get ready for the news in my review of "NewsboysGo!" I'll try to post it soon- but right now, there's a Bible movie on TV. Very powerful. Hang in there GOD's children.)

Jesus Test

I have a test about Jesus' death for you. Before you read the answers, comment what you think is the right answer.

Questions:

1. Why did God send His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on the cross for our sins?

2. Who is responsible for killing Jesus Christ?

3. Why does Jesus dying on the cross save us from our sin?

I gave you this test because it suprises me how much some people, even Christians, don't know about the death of Jesus. Please comment your answers and then come and read the true answers to see if you got them right.

Answers:

1. Our GOD is perfect. We can't go to heaven and see HIM if we are imperfect. The Bible says that all have sinned, making all imperfect. So, that means that if you sin, you can never see GOD. Well, GOD sent JESUS to be the perfect sacrafice for our sins. f we ask GOD for forgiveness and confess and believe JESUS died for our sins, then we will be washed in the blood of JESUS and GOD will see us as perfect.

2. You and I are responsible for killing JESUS CHRIST. Many might think it was a mob of people, Pontus Pilot, or even Santan himself. But the truth is, we are guilty of killing JESUS CHRIST. JESUS had many chances to escape from death, but if HE wouldn't have died, then we could never go to heaven because of our sin. The bottom line is: If we hadn't sinned in the first place, then JESUS wouldn't have had to die.

3. It saves us because JESUS died in our place. Back in the Old Testament days, if someone sinned, they had to make a sacrafice with an animal. Well JESUS (the Lamb) was the ultimate sacrafice to everyone! We just have to ask for fogiveness and believe HE died for us.

Well, I bet some people didn't get what they expected. I know number two probably tripped up alot of people. You might want to look up the death of JESUS to see where I got some of this. It's kind of funny that I'm talking about JESUS' death so close to HIS birth, but don't worry, I'll be on that topic soon. If you have any questions, comments, answers, typos, or anything more, please leave a comment. The comment bar should be right under this post. Just double click it if you don't know how. GOD bless U all! Peace be with you! Merry Christmas! Hammer out.

The Way To GOD

Do you think that you are a good person? Well have you ever stole something? Have you ever told a lie? You probably have. And that makes you a lying thief. You probably have done many other bad things too. Do you still think you're a good person? In the Bible it says:

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23

That means that our GOD is perfect and that you cannot go to heaven with HIM unless you are perfect. The Bible says that everyone has sinned, so everyone is not perfect. If you are not perfect then you cannot go to heaven with GOD forever right? Well, GOD loves us so much that HE gave us a way out. The Bible says:

"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

Since no one is perfect and everyone is sinful you can't have eternal life with GOD. But even though we sin against HIM so much, GOD loved us enough to give us a way to be with HIM. GOD gave us HIS only SON- JESUS CHRIST. JESUS was the perfect sacrifice for our sin. We killed JESUS because of our sin. HE wouldn't have to have been sacrificed if we hadn't sinned. But HE loved us to much. HE didn't have to die because we sinned. We could have just gone to hell and not go to heaven with GOD forever. But when JESUS died, HE basically died so we wouldn't have to. HE was the most perfect sacrifice for our sins. Now, since HE died, we just have to accept what HE did for us and ask for forgiveness for all of our sins. Then, we are washed by the blood of the LAMB (JESUS), and our sins are forgiven and never to be remembered by GOD again. I put together this *highly scientific* chart to help you understand this better:



Although you probably don't see it, this is a valley. On one side is all humankind. GOD is on the other side of the valley and as you can see, man and GOD are separated. People may try to jump across the valley to get to GOD, but you can't get to HIM by works. The only way to GOD is through JESUS, not by outweighing the bad with good. So on the chart you see that JESUS is like the "bridge" to the other side of the valley. The only way to get to the other side and to GOD is by going on the Bridge. We just have to accept JESUS is the "bridge" to GOD.

If you want to receive a personal relationship with JESUS today confess with you mouth that JESUS died on the cross for your sins and believe it in your heart. I suggest you pray a prayer to GOD like this:

"Dear GOD, thank you for sending YOUR SON, JESUS CHRIST, to this earth to die for my sins. I ask that you come into my life right now and be my King and Savior. I commit my life into your hands and I give you my soul. Be there ruler of my life and make my life how YOU want it to be. In JESUS name, amen."

I hope you understand how much GOD loves you. GOD bless you. Peace be with you. Hammer out.
