Getting Back On The Wall
Christianity Is Built On Love 1st John 4:8
.
Love Sees The Good & Possibilities That Others Cannot See...
And That's Precisely Why Jesus Died For You & Me!
.
He knew we were sinners... But... He Also Knew What We Could Become. Not just transported evil folks... allowed into to sneak into Heaven. BUT... really good and loving souls... Who Received Him... Loved Him... Believed Him... and Followed Him... Folks Full of His Spirit. Remade & Redeemed!
.
I've seen some Pastors and Christian Leaders doing some pretty rotten stuff and their justification was... "Thank God Jesus Died For All My Sins." What a load of horse manure. Either they didn't really know the Lord... or they were severely off track.
.
And... Hey... None of us are perfect... But when I've gotten off track... there was always a price to be paid. I suffered for it... and those I loved suffered for it.
.
Look at David of old (2 Samuel 11 and 12) or Samson (Judges 16). OUCH! Seriously... Crime Doesn't Pay! Ask that poor fellow from the 700 club (Jim Baker) that spent years in jail or any other number of folks who have gone south. And these are folks who loved the Lord.
.
There are others who don't believe in Christ and they just fake it... and play the game for profit. Big mistake because... Cuz... Hell Is Hot and Eternity Is Long. We All Really Need Jesus!
.
Bottom Line... if you love the Lord and you're down... you can still climb back up... Get on the Wall... and Finish your Race in Grace! Jesus Knows You... And He Knows Your Weaknesses... But He Also Knows Your Potential! Great Things Await... If We Will But Follow Him!
