Did you know you get paid for sinning?
It's true! Every sin earns you a wage. On payday, you will blow all your earnings in a place called Hell. But wait! There is more! And there is hope…
”For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
Jesus paid your fine, by dying in your place, to pay for your sins. You can go free…IF you ask forgiveness, confess your sins to Him, and commit the rest of your life to God, turn away from your sins, believe in Jesus Christ, and give the rest of your life to Him. Jesus paid your debts and is the only way back to God.
Talk to your heavenly Father and ask His forgiveness. Acknowledge Jesus Christ died in your place and rose from the dead. Give God your life, and follow the teachings of Jesus. When you repent, and give God your life, a miracle happens. Your human spirit connects with God's Holy Spirit, and you become a new creation through faith in Jesus Christ. You become born again.
Your past is forgiven, and you are given a new life. You are never alone again, because the Holy Spirit comes to live inside you; to teach you, guide you, and give you eternal life. Of course, it doesn't mean everything will suddenly be great. In fact, it could get worse, with persecution, temptations, etc. We live in a sinful world, with a lot of crazy things going on. Life is never easy, no matter what side of the fence you are on.
Get to know God by reading the Bible. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you understand it. The Bible is ALIVE. It will speak something new to you, every time you read it, even if its the same verse. Ask Father for new friends that are close to Jesus, to help you. Get to know God, by spending time alone with Him, and just talk to him. He loves you! He cant wait to spend time with you!
Keep looking up!
