Every once in a while, I must confirm why Jesus will accept me. I love to ask others: Why will Jesus accept you into His Holy Kingdom? What’s your answer to that?
When on earth I’m done and gone
I see so many lives ending like an unfinished job, like an abandoned construction site. When on earth I’m done, I want my life to be finished well.
Slander and gossip
Got slander in you? Gossip once in awhile? Are you trying to be compassionate, putting down sinners with love?
Being pleasing
Getting born again established my identity. I am a child of God now. Rejecting sin is a part of my identity. How ’bout you?
Fear of death enslaves you
Are you living the good life – with courage and confident hope? Because we are “in Christ” we are confident in Him (Romans 8). “But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait eagerly for it with patience and composure” (verse 25).
I am well in my soul
I embrace this life God gave me. I also “Embrace the Suck” (the difficulties). It’s up to me to keep watch over my soul, my spirit, keep it fit, keep it clean, keep it well. Life in Jesus is all about Him. I refuse to “opt out”, to give in to sin. I don’t let it beat me down.
Keeping a good conscience
We can learn a lot from the Bible about our “conscience”. We all start life with one. How’s yours doing?
