"THE UMBRELLA OF SIN"

What benefits will I receive if I accept Christ in my life?
Is it going to be different? Or everything will be the same?
Wow! That is a million dollars question!
Of course it’s going to be different!
We were living in sin since we were born, and sin bring us all kinds
of problems into our lives. Although, not everything it’s going to be
wine and roses, we will have a lot of thorns too!
Look: We were born in the world, live in the world, learn in the world
and do what the world does, when we decide ourselves to follow Christ,
we “separate” from the world, and then, the world, stop loving us,
and start hating us because we are not like “Them” anymore!
But don’t worry! Now we have God on our side!
Sin, is like an umbrella that do not allow the Light of God to shine on us!
The heavier our sins are, the thicker the umbrella we carry above us!
When we repent from our sins, and get close to Christ for forgiveness,
If our repentance is genuine, He removes from our heads, the “umbrella”
And we begin to receive from God His blessings!
The desires of worldly people are money, goods, pleasure, vanity, pride,
luxury, and so on.
The desires of God’s people are: The well being of everybody!
So the decisions we are making by following Christ it is practically
not to benefit us, but people!
Are you finished?
No! Not yet!
Since the instant we accept Christ and deposit our faith in Him,
Our names are written in the book of life!
The people that are going to be saved and will have life eternal!
That means, living with God forever! Aren’t you excited?
Don’t take me wrong! I am not saying that Salvation is not free!
You don’t have to do anything to earn it, just your decision to accept Christ,and when we do, He puts His Holy Spirit in us to make the change!
We obtain freedom, from the slavery of sin and become FREE!
Not free to continue living in sin, but to love people as ourselves, working hard for them so they could get what we already have thanks to Jesus.. .. OUR SALVATION!
When we accept Christ we born again into a new person!
A BORN AGAIN BELIEVER!
How thick is your umbrella of sin? Get close to Jesus and..
PRAISE THE LORD!
