There are so many temptations in this world that wants you to stay further away from god. Sin seperates us from God, which is the sad part :( and this is how imagine it.
The "Gate" |
A typical diagram of how we can be saved. You can see the giant hole in the middle that is getting in between god and us. Fortunately God sent his one and only son jesus to die on the cross for us which is the ultimate sacrifice! And this image clearly shows a great imagery for how Jesus christ is the only way to heaven. Now i was actually meditating on John 10 and i came across a verse.
This passage is really important to me. Everyday i have to realize what I am here for! What is my purpose of life? We were made to worship god and to continue serving as an army until we have reached the kingdom of god. Jesus states that he is the gate for the sheeps. In this analogy sheep means the follower of christ who choses to follow Jesus all they way to the ends of the earth.
As time goes on, we continue to realize all these signals and warnings of end times and we truly have to be awake!
Therefore, stay awake, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. Mathew 24:42
I always pray to the lord to give me spiritual confidence. It's always so hard for me to talk about Jesus Christ to other people because I am lacking so much. More and more people are going further and further away from God. It's not just people from other countries but also the people around you. If you really think about it, whats the point of going on missions to all other countries, when your not preaching the people around you? And my only excuse was "because im at home". :S Well i was wrong... Later i realize that this is not my home... Canada is not my home... This world is not my home. My home is in heaven and until i go there im living a life of MISSIONS! :o technically speaking, we should all be working as a child of god everywhere we are. Especially me, i have to set my priorities straight and start striving for what god wants me to do. We have two choices in life. Walk faithfully through the gate? Or fall blindly into hell.
