"THE TREASURE CHEST"

I had a chest in which I kept my Treasure!
It was full of valuable things!
Much more valuable that gold, jewels and diamonds!
I was very happy having with me such a Treasure!
I was very happy just in thinking that this Treasure was mine!
I thought that nobody could take it away from me!
However, one day… Somebody snatch it from me,
making me the most unhappy person in the whole world!
I looked for it everywhere without success, until one day, God,
had pity on me and I recovered!
And together with it, my happiness came back!
Now I say: From now on, I’ll be more careful!
I am going to defend it with my life if necessary!
Wow! How nice! But..
Did you really have a Treasure chest like that?
Yes I did! But this is just an analogy!
An analogy? Of what?
You’ll see: The Treasure I am referring to is Jesus Christ in the heart
of all the people who accept Him and become a Christian!
But as soon as you receive Him as your Savior, the devil begins tempting
you trying to steal from you such a precious Treasure! He wants to make
us fall so we could go back to the life we had before we had God’s Spirit!
However, after we tasted the life with Christ in us, nothing else will reach
that level of happiness!
There are no sin that will be too attractive for us to make us return
to the life of sin we had before!
Nothing can separate us from the love of Christ! Romans 8:35.
So, if you have been tempted, or you fell from grace and had returned
to the sin world….
NOW IT’S TIME TO SERIOUSLY THINK TO COME BACK!
Take your Bible, and on your knees ask God for forgiveness!
Ask Him to help you to recover your precious Treasure!
The Spirit of Christ in us, is the Greatest Treasure anybody could find!
And this Treasure it is yours to keep! But this time if you are sincere…
Nobody can take it away from you!
Thank you Lord! I don’t want to go back to sin!
With you at my side..
I am saved!
I WON’T WALK AWAY FROM YOU ANYMORE!

GLORY TO GOD!
