Seek and Save

As a Christian we are to bring glory to God and spread his Kingdom. It's all for God even if we want to believe that life is about us. Here are some things to consider, and how to be saved and have eternal life:

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever
believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

To be saved and added to God's Kingdom you must follow these steps:

FAITH – Romans 10:17
HEARING THE WORD OF GOD – Listening to the Word being taught or
careful study of the Bible.
BELIEVE – Mark 16:16
REPENT – Luke 13:5
CONFESS – Matthew 10:32-33
BE BAPTISED – John 3:5
SAVED – 1 Peter 3:21, Acts 2:41, Romans 6:3-4

Ultimately it is up to us to decide one way or the other how to live, and how to spend eternity. I know I for one would like to see Satan's face, I do in my mind, when he asks God's permission to tempt, or put hardships on me, and I still hold strong to God, and Satan once again through me has brought the Glory to God! That is what happened when Christ was given as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, and Christ rose from the dead. Satan thought he won, by getting the people to crucify the Lord. In turn Satan scored the winning point for God and brought Glory to him! Try it to see what life is like with a little less evil in it!

God Loves You!

Picture this:

A father showing his child how much he loves them with outstretched arms as wide as they can go.
"I love you this much!" He says. How great is the fathers love? A love that will last thier lifetime

Now Picture this:

Christ on the cross, thorn for a crown, side split open, nails in his feet. His arms stretched to their limits and nailed.
"I love you this much!" God says. How great is Gods love? A love that will literally last an eternity and is nailed in place.

Renewed Perspective

Here we are at the start of a New Year once again. For me it's a year with a renewed perspective as well. For the past 2 years my wife's father has been battling cancer, and on November 29th he passed away. It was hard watching him decline especially the last few months. Even at the end he held his faith in God and the saving power that only Christ can give. When asked, on one of the last days of his life, if he was scared, his answer was a bold "Of What?" He knew he was right with God and that he was going to a better place. This experience renewed my lackluster faith, and made me realize how important it is to have a faith. I've been a Christian most of my life, but lately I've realized others need to know the hope that is in Christ. If you want to know more please visit http://seekingthelost.org/.
