THINK ABOUT IT 4 A SEKOND YO!!

Live now and Die later.

When you do die, whats next?
What's the purpose of your life?
Are you here to get rich or die trying?
Are you hear to find a soul mate and live happily ever after?
Maybe you're trying to figure all that out.

Some people are scared to die, others say theyre ready to die.
But almost everyone wants to go to heaven. Whether theyre hoping for a heaven for a gangsta or a hip-hop heaven people want to get to heaven.

People want heaven because they hear its a better place or a place where dreams come true. Well heaven is better, matter of fact there is no pain, no suffering, and no death there. There is no need for church buildings in heaven because people dont need to be reminded to kick it with God. Everyone is there WITH GOD forever.

Are you going to Heaven? People say there is no way to know for sure, but God says in 1 John 5:13 , These things i have written to you...that you may KNOW that you have eternal life...
Heaven and Eternal life are free gifts to those who know and are known by God.

Do you know God? Or whats really serious is, does God know you? Most people would love to be known by their favorite entertainer. Youve seen contests where you hang out with a star for a day right? But to be known by the Creator of the universe thats major.

Im sure you're thinking Hes God, He knows everybody, but the Bible tells us in Matthew 7:23 that the same folks who hope to run up to God saying Sup God lemme in them Gates! He will say to them Away from me I never knew you.

In Genesis 2 Adam and God hung pretty tight until Adam disobeyed and sinned against God. After that God and man were separated and Adams sin passed down to us like bad family traits. You got your mommas eyes, daddys nose, and Adams sin. Since he was the first man, all men and women after him sin too. For All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. Can you honestly say you have never lied, stolen, or had a dirty or evil thought? Those are what you call sins. Sin is anything that offends or falls short of Gods perfect standard. Basically we are born into more sin than Bill Gates kids are born into money. We have a problem.

The Problem is that God has to Punish sin.
He's not like a t.v. judge on Divorce Court, hes the perfect judge. Any Good judge would sentence you for committing a crime, and our crimes (sins) will be Judged by the Perfect Judge. What is the sentence for sin? The Bible tells us it is death and eternal destruction and separation from God and His goodness forever. The wages of sin is death... Romans 6:23
These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power... 2 Thessalonians 1:9

What can we do about this?
The bad news is WE cant do anything. There are no plea bargains and we cant beg the judge for another chance. When we mess with laws they dont care about how nice we are or how sorry we are. Laws are laws. If you jump out of a plane the law of gravity doesn't care how bad you want to get back into the plane, you're gonna fall. Gods laws are no different. They are perfect and there is no getting around them. There is no debating or earning your way into the Laws good graces. If it wont work in Peoples Court it most definitely wont work in Gods. Whats worse is that God tells us in James 2:10 that whoever breaks one law is guilty of breaking them all. Whether a person steals one car or steals 20, hes guilty of stealing, and whether you tell a little white lie or rob a bank, you are guilty of sinning against a perfect God.

Isnt God loving and forgiving though? True. God is perfect in His love and forgiveness, but Hes also perfect in His justice. If you can stand in His court and admit that you are guilty and deserve punishment for your crimes then His love and forgiveness will be better than cold water in a hot desert.

This love and forgiveness is found in Jesus Christ.

YA HERD!!!

When I say...........I am a Christian.......I'm not shouting "I'm clean
living". I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven".

When I say........I am a Christian, I don't speak of this with pride. I'm
confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say.....I am a Christian, I'm not trying to be strong. I'm
professing that I'm weak. And need HIS strength to carry on.

When I say...........I am a Christian, I'm not bragging of success. I'm
admitting I have failed and need GOD to clean my mess.

When I say.......I am a Christian, I'm not claiming to be perfect, my flaws
are far too visible. But, GOD believes I am worth it.

When I say.......I am a Christian, I still feel the sting of pain. I have
my share of heartaches. So I call upon HIS name.

When I say..........I am a Christian I'm not holier than thou, I'm just a
simple sinner, YES A SINNER, who received GOD's grace

somehow! Share this with somebody who already has this understanding, as
reinforcement. But more importantly, share

this with those who do not have a clear understanding of what it means to
be a CHRISTIAN, so that the myth that CHRISTIANS
think they are "perfect" or "better than others" can be DISPELLED.
