Haha... I've got lots of stuff on my hands to do right now... BUT i am here blogging... Well, I'll just post something to liven up my blog then.
Actually for the past week and this week too, I've realised something about myself. I am a selfish girl... Why do I say that? Well, as I recollect the things that I have been praying before the Lord, it seems to me that I've been praying for things that's revolving around me to be to my advantage and also to get me out of sticky situations when it was me who first plunged into it. For example, to clear things a little, praying that there is fine weather when I am swimming, praying that I will not get chosen for some job application that I impulsively signed up for, praying that God will help me to decide which subjects to drop etc. My point here is that we should not at all pray to God when we want bad things to pass by not so badly or don't bother God about such minor things, BUT that throughout all the things that I prayed for,
I did not pray for God's Will to be done on Earth as it is in Heaven and about things which God pleases, like the building up of His house (i.e. the Church) through gospel preaching and remembering the lost ones through prayers.Sigh... how dominant is the flesh that's in me...
Lord, I really feel that I lack the love to love you more each day... Please Lord Jesus, grant me more of Your love to me each day so that I can learn to love you and the people around me... Amen.
When you love someone, you just want to go all out to do the things that makes your loved ones happy... And I know that my God is happy when I do His will and cause more people to know Him for the building up of the Church. So Lord, teach me to be a pleasing servant in Your sight. Amen.
And
I shall do something here now which hopefully the Lord will be pleased. Well, I shall type in here the gist of the gospel that millions of Christians have preached throughout all ages; and also for non-believers to take a look and understand the basis of what we Christians believed in.
In Summary:
1. All human have sinned and have fall short of the glory of God. Sin here does not refer to the bad things that people do, but rather the inherent Sin that all of us have once we were born, no matter how good you are throughout your walk on Earth.
2. The consequence of having the Sin in us:
DEATH. Some may ask: Who says I've got sin? I've never ever done a single bad in my life! But sorry my friend, as I've said earlier, Sin is not determined by the number of good or bad things that one have done. And the evidence of the presence of Sin is very clear; because we have Sin, we have to die. Furthermore, such death will not stop when we pass on, but rather it is ETERNAL. If there's nothing to save us from Sin, our fate will definitely be ETERNAL PERDITION!
3. The
SOLUTION: Jesus Christ came down to this Earth as a human to be our Lamb of sacrifice. He came down to die for us, shed His blood and on the 3rd day after His death, He resurrected and later (and finally) went up to Heaven to sit at the Right hand of the Father. Why Jesus Christ? You may ask. That's because our Father God wants us to return back to Him because He loved us SO SO much. But Sin is hindering us from reaching out to God. Then God decided to sent His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, who is the only one who is
sinless and pure and right before God, to die for us. Only through the death of a sinless person can his blood be used to cleanse everyone else of their Sin, causing us to be able to be near to God once again and also to escape eternal perdition. What's more, He arose from the grave on the 3rd day and then raised up to the Heaven - Such is an act to tell us that this God whom we preached is real and living and that we can be assured of the things He says and does, unlike all the great and mighty people of the past who died and never ever came to life again.
4. What now? Now, Jesus Christ wants you to let Him enter into your heart to be your personal Saviour. Only by accepting Him can we be sure that we will have eternal life. He has now given us a new way for us to choose and to walk on. Now in front of us we have 2 paths- eternal life (new way) and eternal death (old and destined way). Which one will you choose?? Praise the Lord, if you choose the new and living way, accept Jesus into your heart right now (call/tag me if you want to accept Him!) and don't harden your heart to His calling. He's waiting for all mankind to receive His salvation for free! It's that simple - Accept Him and you'll have eternal life!!! It is
THAT simple.
Ok. Actually this summary is not short at all. But should be short enough to help everyone understand the whole picture and also to clear some doubts. Well, if there are any questions please ask me and I'll be glad to answer them to the best of my abilities.
Well, I got to go right now... clothes to wash up next on my list :s
Auf Wiedersehen!
