Pure, Genuine, Godly Wisdom

Our society just keeps on going. Doesn't matter what the consequences are--if it feels good do it. The government is supposed to be leading us in the right direction but I guess we can't expect a secular humanist society to listen to God's views on everything. But remember we are all accountable for our actions. The only difference between me and you is that I have accepted that Christ has forgiven my sins and I have given my life to Him. He bore the weight of my sins on his shoulders so that I can stand before God and declare I am washed clean by Christ's blood. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that can compare to this truth. The feeling I get from this knowledge is unbelievable!! I can't explain it. I feel like I am never alone. I feel like a huge weight is off of my shoulders. I feel like I am soooo loved. I feel like I can take on the world. I feel like someone is hugging me right now. But the reality is that feelings don't matter. You must believe what Christ has done for you and live your life completely for Him. No holding on to bits and pieces--give everything you are and have and can do. I think that's the least God deserves for all He has done for mankind. I can't wait until I stand before God one day. He'll ask me why I should be allowed to spend eternity with Him. I'll tell Him, "Christ has washed me clean." There is no other answer that God will accept. According to His Word, this is the only thing that will get us into heaven. You can say that you gave money to the church, helped the poor, fed the hungry, and lived a good life. But when it all boils down--have you accepted what God has done for you? Are you genuinely living for God? I hope so. Spending an eternity without God won't be pleasant to say the apitimatic least.

Matthew recorded what Jesus said, "But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.” -Matthew 12:36-37
