Hi my name is Mike. I am a newborn baby in Christ. I've been on the streets for about 5 years using and abusing the body that God gave me. I had all sorts of bad things happen to me in my life. I always wanted to curse God and was always saying why me God why me. Now I find myself saying why me again. But now it's because I wonder why he gave me all the chances to live to come to Jesus. You see I've been ruining my body going against all that God wants me to do and just being a relentless sinner for all my life. I still am but now i realize it. I never believed in God. I actually denounced God for the bigger part of my life. I never even gave God a chance, but I knew he wasnt real. Now that I've given him a chance I see His works already manifesting in my life.The God I never trusted and always cursed gave me a chance to live. Nobody else will do that. Nobody!!!!! Thats just too wonderful for me to even think about putting into words. I know before i ever started doing drugs and fornicating daily as a way of life, I used to say "Look at those druggies, and look at those hookers." God said "Judge not, that ye be not judged" Matthew 7:1 Moreover, in the same chapter, He says "Hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine eye, and then thou wilt see clearly to cast out the mote out of the eye of thy brother" Matthew 7:5. Also that chapter says in verse 2 "With what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged." Now would it seem strange if I told you that all of those things came true. Not if you believe in the only true Living God and His Son our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. God dont lie. All these years disobeying Him and thinking i Was a "good guy." Gods word has shown me and told me that I was wrong and He is right. My testimony is that denying God doesnt mean He doesnt exist, but it does mean that you wont be able to receive the wonderful gifts He has in store mainly the gift He gave to all of us. Romans 6:23-The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ.One passage makes me realize how I should live for God. ROMANS 13:13,14 Let us walk honestly as in the day, not in rioting and drunkeness, not in chambering and wantoness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. |
