I'm going to link the actual cartoon at the bottom of this post, but the context is almost not as important as what it is he's SAYING. (I'm going to make you click the link to find out what the context IS, because - dude, you really need to check out adam4d.com if you've never been there before!)
"DUDE, you're a Christian!! Do you realize what that means?"
"God chose you! Think about it! GOD! YOU! Before He created the world, He chose you to be adopted into His eternal family, to live forever! With Him! Think of how mind-blowing that is!"
"And consider what God did to accomplish that. The perfect eternal harmony of the Trinity, disrupted! God the Son, crushed for your sin! He took your punishment! God did! And He gave you His Own righteousness! Think about that. You possess the righteousness of God! DUDE!"
"You were transferred from death to life! From darkness to light! God the Holy Spirit took up residence inside YOU! GOD Himself! Now you're one of His! You're safe when you used to be condemned! You're free when you used to be in slavery! You're His! FOREVER! And the Creator of the Universe accomplished all of this for you when you couldn't do it yourself! Seriously!"
I have to tell you... I'm literally in tears just thinking about it when he puts our salvation likes that! Don't ever take God's Gift for granted! He doesn't.
(OK, OK, here's the link.) But, DUDE, you really should be reading Adam Ford's stuff without me prodding you.
I blog about a variety of things that interest me: much of it stems from Christ and God, as the description of ACT 2 MINISTRIES attests. BUT topics also include football of all types (American, mostly, but Australian Rules is my passion!), music (I taught, composed, and performed for thirty years), and life, love, sports, family, and even the "real world" as it intervenes. Come along for the ride and be part of the family!
