Be all that you can be....for the Lord!!!

I want to be the best I can be. The best "what" you might ask? Those of you that know me would probably say, guitar player. That is true but not what I was going for here. Some might say, a father and dad. Again, true, just not what I was going for. I am talking about,*drumroll*, I want to be the best christian I can be!!! It was pretty obvious I know. I have been so convicted lately. My heart has been burdened with the thought that people, people I know and don't know, are going to hell. What am I doing about it? Have I shared the truth of the Law and the Gospel with these people? God forgive me! I want to put into action what Christ has put in my heart.

If you are reading this and have never heard the Gospel before let me share it with you now. The Bible says that we are sinners. We have violated the Laws which God gave us. These are called the Ten Commandments. We are to use these as a mirror to see if we are in line with His standards. The thing is, none of us are. For example, How many lies have you told in your life? Quite a few I'm sure. The Bible says we are liars. Have you ever stolen anything regardless of value? If you have then you are a thief. Have you ever commited adultery? No? Listen to what Jesus said. He said,"If you look at a woman to lust after her you have commited adultery with her in your heart. Just the thought of doing something is as bad as actually doing it, in God's eyes.

If you were to die in that state, God would give you justice for breaking His laws. He is Pure, Holy, and Just in all His ways. You would end up in hell on the day of judgement. The Bible says that all liars will have their place in the lake of fire. It also states that no theif, no adulterer will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. This is some hard stuff. But this is the Gospel, that 2000 years ago God became man and took upon Himself the punishment meant for us. If you would repent, meaning turn from your sinning, and put your trust in Jesus to save you, you will be saved. Do that today because we are not garaunteed tomorrow.
