Without God, my life would mean absolutely nothing. It's because of God that I have a loving family and am safe. I'm adopted, that means my birth parents couldn't take care of me so I got a new family. If I hadn't been adopted I would most likely have been on the streets, into drugs, abused or bounced around from family to family.
God's kind of like an adoptive parent, that's what He is to me and so much more. I am a sinner , there isn't a human being who hasn't sinned against God. I've lied, thought bad thoughts about someone, disobeyed my parents, and Lord knows a lot more. Without God we live an empty life and are slaves to our sin. The price of sin is death. Because God is a very good God he can't let sin into heaven, when we die God would have to send us to hell. Not because he hates us but because we are dirty with sin.
God loves me and you so much that He gave us a way to be cleaned from our sins. God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, to earth and He lived a perfect life. Never once sinned. Jesus then died for the price of my sin and yours too. It was our sin that nailed Him to the cross. Then on the third day God raised Him from the dead.
God has offered me the chance to become apart of His loving family. I said out loud that Jesus was my Lord (king of my heart), I believe that God rose Him up from the third day and repented (was sorry for my sins and turned away from my sin). We can do all things through Christ who gives us the strength. You can do the same thing! It's the only way to become free from the bad stuff we've done, and nothing is more precious then having the Love of Jesus in our lives. Please get right with God, He wants to erase your past and give you a clean future with Him

when u tell that god wants to erase our past... do u mean that he will forgive us for all the sins that we have committed..
i dont agree with this. I think whatever you do in this life , on this earth, ur karmas will be that and you will have to pay for ur deeds gud or bad .. here on this earth and in this life itself.
There is one more concept in this post that i have heard a lot of time. That we are sinners. why do u think that way? I think when god gave us the birth of human beings, someone who is intelligent and who can think.. he has blessed us and haS given us the oppurtunity to do the right things and make this world a better place. Where does this concept of sin come then?
Very nice blog. You have a compassionate way about expressing some pretty tough biblical concepts. As Chrisians, it's hard to talk about sin without coming across as judgmental. Remember God's greatest commandment though: "Love you neighbor as yourself and Love God with all your heart." It's most important to God to show love than to point out someone else's sins. God loves his children but hates our sin and it's only wih his help and love that we can avoid our sinful temptations. How can we mimic that in our own relationships? If you ever have any questions, feel free to as me! God bless!
woman of many thoughts - very well put.
God loves US - we are HIS children and we are ALL sinners. We should never past judgment on anyone else for THEIR sins because we have our own....if you noticed - Jesus hung out with the sinners he never condemned them. ;o)
I think that you being adopted was beautiful! God chooses our PARENTS...and our BIRTH parents...God knows what we will do before we know what we will do...
Awesome blog! I will def be back to visit more! ;o)
