Karen's thoughts: God loves everyone!

God loves everyone!

Lately I have been noticing how people tend to think that they are better than everyone else. It really is starting to annoy me. I am guilty of being particular about who I talk to, but I have been working on that. I think I talk to quite a few people. I try my best to be friendly towards everyone. I have not, by any means, perfected that, but I am trying. God loves everyone, right? The answer is yes, He does. So why is it, when I am at church, I see people who are newer and not as "cool" as people seem to think they should be, sitting around alone? I decided to try something, I would see people all alone, and I'd look them in the eye, smile at them and say "Good morning" then I'd continue on my way. The smile on those people's faces were priceless. You never know who you might cheer up just by being friendly. Obviously you don't have to be best friends with everyone, but instead of thinking to yourself "Oh, he/she's weird" or "What a nerd", why don't you think, "Now here is a child of God standing alone. I wonder what I can do to cheer him/her up". "For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think;" Romans 12:3a. Please, if you are a Christian and you are reading this, consider that other people have feelings too.

"This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." John 15:12

Are you 100% sure you'll go to Heaven when you die.
The most important decision you'll ever make is to trust Jesus as your peronal Saviour!

1st:Realize you are a sinner.
"For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23

2nd: Realize that a price must be paid for your sin.
"Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned." Romans 5:12
"For the wages of sin is death..." Romans 6:23 (a)
"And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:14-15

3rd: Realize that Jesus paid the price!
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15:3-4

4th: Repent! (Yes, repentance IS in the Bible).
"I tell you, Nay: but except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Luke 13:3
"For Godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death." 2 Corinthians 7:10

5th: Receive Christ!
"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:8-9
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13

Are you willing to ask Jesus to be your Saviour? Then please ask Him to save your soul in a prayer like this:
"Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner. I deserve to go to hell. I now ask you to forgive me for my sins and save me. Please take me to Heaven when I die. Thank you for saving me! Help me now to live for you. In Jesus' name I ask, Amen."
You have to mean it in your heart, just saying a prayer (without a believing heart) will not save you. In John 14:6 it says "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me."
