Learning God's Lessons: A Simple Day

A Simple Day

I guess not all of my blogs have to be really thoughtful or even thought provoking. This one definitely won't be either one of those! I've just had a simple day at home. My dearest mom called this morning and thrilled me with the news that she bought her and Bob's (my stepdad) plane tickets to come and see us in May! I was so excited that I cleaned out the frig--I know I'll have to do it again before she gets here (probably two or three times), but I had to use up my happy energy somehow!

I had school with the kids, did the laundry, cut Keith's hair, played Wii tennis and got beat by Keith again, made dinner, watched a movie with the family, and now I'm sitting with my doggies at my feet enjoying the cool air of spring coming through the screen in my bedroom.

Even with all the chaos in the world, my little corner is peaceful and good. Thank you, Jesus, for sending this day to me!

The Most Important Thing You Can Know!

Do you know where you will spend eternity one day? If not, here's how you can know:

1. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." The Bible says we are all sinners. Sin is hereditary--we were all born sinners because Adam and Eve disobeyed God in the Garden of Eden.
2. Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." A wage is a payment. We must pay for our sins and they way we pay is by death. Everyone is born once, and everyone must die once. But the story doesn't end there--Jesus, God's only Son died on the cross for our sin and paid the penalty for us. All we have to do accept the gift of salvation. We can't work for it, go to church for it, or be good for it. Faith in Christ alone is what will save us.
3. Romans 10:9 says, "But if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." If you know that you are a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross, was buried, and resurrected--and if you know that He did that for YOU, all you have to do is ask Him to come into your heart and save you.
4. If you would like to accept Christ, just ask him now--it's the difference between Heaven and Hell.
