About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"GRACE, SUCH A BEAUTIFUL WORD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WHAT IS GRACE? THE DICTIONARY DEFINES IT AS "Mercy and clemency". I LIKE THE DEFINITION "THE UNMERITED FAVOR OF GOD". THAT IS REALLY WHAT WE HAVE THROUGH SALVATION. BY GRACE ARE WE SAVED THROUGH FAITH. WE DID NOT DESERVE IT AND THERE WAS NOTHING WE COULD DO TO GET IT. I HAVE HEARD SOMEONE SAY THEY DESERVED IT BECAUSE OF THEIR RIGHTEOUSNESS. GIVE ME A BREAK. THE BIBLE TELL US WHAT OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS IN ISAIAH 64:6 WHERE IT SAYS "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away." NO ONE CAN BE RIGHTEOUS ENOUGH TO BE SAVED AND THAT IS WHY WE NEED A SAVIOR.
IF YOU THINK YOUR LIVING RIGHT AND BEING A GOOD PERSON IS GOING TO GET YOU TO HEAVEN, YOU HAVE ANOTHER THOUGHT COMING. IF YOUR PRECIOUS LITTLE OLD GRANDMOTHER DID NOT ACCEPT JESUS AS HER SAVIOR, I AM SORRY TO TELL YOU THAT SHE WILL GO OR IS ALREADY IN HELL. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO THE FATHER AND THAT IS THROUGH JESUS CHRIST AND IF SHE HAS NOT ACCEPTED HIM, IT IS ABOUT TIME YOU GO AND TALK WITH HER. SHE JUST MIGHT NOT KNOW.
ON THE OTHER HAND, LET'S SAY THAT HITLER, BEFORE HE DIED, TRULY REPENTED AND ASK JESUS TO BE HIS SAVIOR AND TRULY BELIEVE HE DIED FOR HIM, WAS BURIED AND ROSE AGAIN, YOU WILL SEE HIM IN HEAVEN. THAT MIGHT BE HARD FOR SOME TO BELIEVE BUT IT IS TRUE. SIN HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF. JESUS DIED FOR ALL SIN. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN 1 JOHN 2:2. JOHN IS TALKING TO BELIEVERS AND SAID THIS ABOUT JESUS..."And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world." NOW THIS IS GRACE. IF THERE WAS ONE MAN THAT DESERVED TO GO TO HELL, IN MY BOOK, IT WAS HITLER AND MAYBE HE IS. HOWEVER, IF HE RECEIVED JESUS AS HIS SAVIOR, HE IS IN HEAVEN.
I WRITE THIS BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY SOME THAT GOD COULDN'T EVER FORGIVE THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD DONE TOO MANY BAD THINGS. IF ANY OF YOU ARE READING THIS, I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. GOD LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO FORGIVE YOU BUT YOU MUST ASK AND BELIEVE. HE HAS ALREADY DONE IT FOR YOU SO WHY DON'T YOU TAKE THE NEXT STEP AND TALK TO HIM. HE WILL HEAR YOU IF YOU ARE ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS AND ARE SINCERE. IT IS UP TO YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
