Isn't it funny how one is most likely to read a short paragraph rather than an entire page? Yet they expect to get the same ''outcome''. They'll read the synopsis of a book, take a test on it, fail it, and wonder why. Being a Christian, in a way, works the same. You can't expect God to shower you with blessings if you don't do what he has called you to do. Feeding the homeless will not get you a ticket to eternity. People have this insane idea that ''doing good deeds'' and ''being a good person'' will get them somewhere; newsflash: IT WON'T. No matter how hard we try we will never be good enough to roam God's courts, yet he has chosen us (not us chosen him) to be his people. The Bible states in Romans 10 That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord,"and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved. It's a hard concept to grasp, but JUST believing isn't enough, because Satan himself believes that God exists and in my opinion, so do Atheists; the only problem is, they refuse to ''give in''. The road to salvation consists of you putting God in front of all else in your life, making him your Lord and Saviour and trusting in him. Saying 'I Believe' is easy, but notice the verse states: For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified. That's the overwhelming part. So if you're in this, you're in it all the way; and once you're in, there's no turning back, that's the beauty of it to me. No matter how much it has worked for you in the past, just reading the synopsis won't suffice this time. Give it your all, you won't be disappointed Jeremiah 29:11.
