The way that I used to think were thoughts that came straight from the devil. See, this mean creature is all about stealing my joy.
Yep, any of you that have a relationship with Jesus Christ? He is going to be trying to steal your joy as well! But, you know what? I am not going to let him! Folks, we shouldn't let him!
And, how are we not going let him? We gotta open our mouths. Tell him to get away from us!
What am I talking about? There really are some people who think they do not deserve God's love! Well, the thing is there's nobody, not any one of us that deserves God's love or gift of forgiveness.
So, God is God and He knows that all have sinned. Yet, He still died for all us sinners. Do you believe that?
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior? As long as you have accepted Christ's gift of forgiveness? Are you now deciding to follow Jesus?
If you have answered yes to the previous questions? Then, welcome to the family of God! You are now His child. You are now my Brother or sister in Christ. And, we will be seeing each other in heaven!
To reiterate and accentuate my point, it's about being a gift. I love the story my Pastor Gerry Miller shared.
He was offering a child $5. All the child needed to do if they wanted the money was just take it and grab it! It was a gift.
And, how are we not going let him? We gotta open our mouths. Tell him to get away from us!
What am I talking about? There really are some people who think they do not deserve God's love! Well, the thing is there's nobody, not any one of us that deserves God's love or gift of forgiveness.
We need to remember that. Especially, if you look at it like this. The more you sin? The less God will love you. That is such a wrong way of thinking. Friend, Romans 3:23 says: For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
So, God is God and He knows that all have sinned. Yet, He still died for all us sinners. Do you believe that?

That's how it is with God. He is offering Us the gift of eternal life. He wants us to believe he sent His son Jesus Christ to die for us!
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life
1 John 5: 11‐12
And this is the Testimony kamma God is giving us eternal life and this life is in his son come are you are the son as life U does none had the Son of God does not have life
Romans 5:8
But God demonstrated his own love for us in this While we were Still sinners Christ died for us
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.
For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it.
“I can do nothing on my own. AAs I hear, I jdge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own
but the will of him who sent me.
but the will of him who sent me.
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.
