I have been learning a lot over the past week. This is one of the many things and I am happy to share it with you.
It says in the bible "we all are sinners." There isn't anyone better then another. It doesn't matter what we have done, we all have sinned, we were born into a sinning nature, but Jesus was sent to save us from who? He was sent to save us from ourselves. Jesus said go into the world and preach the what kind of news of the gospel? He said preach the good news of the gospel. What is the good news?
He loves you. We have all fallen short of His glory, but He loves us anyhow. We are not better then anyone else and we have no right judging others, but what we should do is not preach hell fire and damnation, but the love of Jesus Christ to others. What better way then through our actions, through how we speak to others.
We are to live in the fruits of the spirit. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, self control. When someone gives you an attitude, what does that mean? A kind word turns away wrath.
We have been given a tool, but we say it does not apply to us, it is from many many years ago. But Jesus came to this world to show us that we are not to judge the evil, for that is not our job, our job is to love them just as Jesus does. God wants us to be more like Jesus and that means living for Him, not living in the past.
Today is a new day and Jesus loves you, God loves you, what have I done to deserve it? Nothing, but He does, He loves me right where I am, I am a sinner. I have fallen short, far short of His glory, but He loves me still. I am so thankful to see that, to hear that.
Just the same as God loves me, He loves you too.
AMEN! Wow, sooooo true!
