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.

"MAKE SURE YOU ARE BORN AGAIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
BEING BORN AGAIN IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE WILL EVER DO. IT IS A SHAME THAT SO MANY PEOPLE JUST TAKE IT FOR GRANTED. I HAVE ASKED PEOPLE BEFORE IF THEY WERE BORN AGAIN AND THEY GOT VERY UPSET WITH ME. I WANTED TO SAY TO THEM THAT IF THEY WERE LIVING THEIR LIVES THE WAY A CHRISTIAN SHOULD, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD TO ASK. I WANTED TO SAY THAT BUT I DIDN'T. WE SHOULD ALL BE ASKING OURSELVES IF OUR LIVES ARE SUCH THAT EVERYONE KNOWS WE ARE BORN AGAIN.
THE REASON I SAY THAT SOME TAKE BEING SAVED FOR GRANTED IS THAT OLD SAYING "ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED". THEY BELIEVE THAT SINCE THEY ARE SAVED, OR BORN AGAIN, THEY CAN GO OUT AND DO WHATEVER THEY WANT TO DO AND IT WILL NOT MATTER. IF YOU FEEL THIS WAY, I WOULD SERIOUSLY QUESTION IF YOU WERE EVER BORN AGAIN. JESUS DIDN'T DIE JUST SO WE WOULD GO TO HEAVEN. IF WE ARE REALLY BORN AGAIN, WE WILL GO TO HEAVEN, BUT THERE IS MUCH, MUCH MORE TO BEING BORN AGAIN.
WHEN JESUS WENT TO THE CROSS FOR US, IT WAS ALSO TO BRING US INTO A CLOSE RELATION WITH GOD. NOW WE CAN GO DIRECTLY TO HIM BECAUSE JESUS TOOK ALL OF OUR SINS AWAY. BEFORE THIS, GOD COULD NOT LOOK UPON OUR SINS. JESUS BROUGHT PEACE BETWEEN GOD AND SINFUL MAN. LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN LUKE 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. IT IS NOT TALKING ABOUT JESUS BRING PEACE ON THE EARTH. JESUS EVEN SAID THIS IN MATTHEW 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
WE SHOULD ALL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF WHAT JESUS DID FOR US. HE GAVE US A CHANCE TO HAVE A WONDERFUL LIFE AND HAVE THAT CLOSE PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE FATHER. HE LOVES US AND WANTS US TO LOVE HIM. WHEN I PRAY, I CAN SEE GOD AND JESUS SITTING AT HIS RIGHT SIDE AND I PRAY DIRECTLY TO HIM. I MAKE IT PERSONAL AND WHEN I END MY PRAYER, I DON'T SAY "IN THE NAME OF JESUS" LIKE HE WAS OFF SOMEWHERE IN THE CLOUDS. I SAY "IN YOUR HOLY NAME JESUS" BECAUSE HE IS RIGHT THERE SITTING BESIDE GOD.
SO, LET'S LIVE OUR LIVES SO THERE WILL BE NO DOUBT THAT WE ARE BORN AGAIN. LETTING PEOPLE SEE THIS IN YOUR LIFE CARRIES A LOT MORE WEIGHT THAN JUST TRYING TO TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS. IF THEY DON'T SEE JESUS IN OUR LIVES, WHEY SHOULD THEY WANT HIM?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL
