Important Life Lessons

IMPORTANT LIFE LESSONS

  1. Repent or perish: Probably the biggest life less ever. Jesus or Hell. You're either with God or against him. You can't have the world and have God too. Luke 13:3- And you will perish, too, unless you repent of your sins and turn to God.
  2. You cannot get into heaven just on your works: It doesn't work that way. Ephesians 2:8-9- For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. So you see, you have to follow Jesus to get to heaven. You can be the best, kindest person in the world, but unless you have Jesus, you will still go to Hell. John 14:6-Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
  3. I don't deserve Heaven: None of us do. We deserve Hell. You know why? Because if Jesus hadn't have come and died on the cross for us and went to Hell, that's where we'd be. It says no one can enter Heaven if they have ever sinned. BUT, with Jesus we can have those sins washed away to where when we enter Heaven we can we pure and white and sinless.
  4. Worldly things are worthless: On Judgment Day, God will take everything we've ever done or possessions that we have and use "fire" to determine what we did for His kingdom. Everything worldly that you've done or owned will be gone. But the things you did for Him will determine your reward or Heaven. If I were you, I'd stop building my treasures on Earth(which will treasures in Hell) and start building my treasures in Heaven.
  5. Check your motives: For instance, biblical arguments. If the Christian side of the argument is just arguing to win, and not because they love the non-Christian, then it's worthless and you're not doing anything for God. You're doing it for yourself. Do all things with love.
  6. Jesus died for everyone, not just Christians: Yeah, that's right. He died for the murderers, and the Rapists, and the Satan worshippers. He wasn't just like 'Oh, yeah, I'll for the perfect ones, but the ones who have ever done anything bad will never have the option of getting to Heaven. But that's not true. They can still repent, and stop. But if they never repent... well, you know the rest.
  7. This earth is not my home: Heaven will be my home.
  8. We were made to serve: We are servants of God, not of ourselves.
  9. God's not my first, He's my only: God shouldn't have to race against your girlfriend, your mom, or you child, your career, or your Mercedes. He should be the only one on the track.
  10. I'm not living anymore, Jesus is living in me: This is not my life, it's Jesus'.
