“What good
is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?” Mark 8:36
There’s
a whole lot of striving going on in the world today. People seek for success and define it by the
amount of money they have. Trust me when
I tell you anything you buy will one day either be thrown out, wear out or sold
off. The ‘things’ of this world offer temporary satisfaction, nothing more. God offers mankind eternity. A person may never own an expensive car, have
a mansion this side of heaven or spend their time with a fashion model, but
neither will those ‘things’ offer lasting satisfaction, fulfillment and
contentment.
As
believers I think we need to do a better job of lovingly making the unsaved
aware of their need for forgiveness.
Live out your faith and keep your talking to a minimum. Show them Christ.
Our
sin contaminates us. God has the
cure. One drop of Christ’s blood will
wash away all our sin forever. One drop. Yet millions trade that one drop for ‘things’
every day. And when we die, what
then? We can’t take any of our
accumulated ‘stuff’ with us when we go.
If you already have a personal
relationship with God, you know what I’m saying is true. If you are riding the fence, consider
this: what if God is real … what if
Christ really did die on the cross to pay for your sin … what then? Until next time, walk with the King and be a
blessing!!
