A lot of people seem to
Believe that if they just say,
"Christ, save me!", then He will
Deliver them from Hell and allow them to
Enter into the Kingdom of Heaven
Following their death. But it's pretty clear that
God doesn't work that way.
Heaven isn't a "free-for-all" open to anyone.
Instead, you must actually make
Jesus your Lord, not just your Savior;
King of your entire
Life. He isn't just a doorman who
Must allow you in because you said some "magic words"!
No, nobody who truly believes remains unchanged.
Only those who live with His commands
Permeating their lives, who make the efforts to
Quit living according to the world's standards and
Reorganize their behavior to match what the Holy
Spirit residing within them
Tells them to do, can ever truly
Understand what it means to be a Christian.
Verily, I say to you, that
When you start living according to His e-
Xample, not just spouting words of faith but living
Your life as close to Christ's as you can, with the
Zeal that He lived for the Truth,
can you ever enter into the Gates of Heaven.
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!
