YOU ARE EMPTY WITHOUT CHRIST

The only way you can come out of empty life is to decide to accept Jesus as  your Lord, be born again and your life will change forever. The decision to accept Jesus as Lord will be life-assuring.. Don’t live another day without God. Eternal life is waiting for you once you are born again.

In Greek, the language of the New Testament, the word used for “sin” is hamartia, which means “failing to reach the goal,” “missing the mark,” and which was used especially for the warrior who missed the target with his spear. Finally, in Hebrew the common word for “sin” is jattá’th, which means “to err” in the sense of not hitting the center of the target or reaching the exact goal or objective.

A life without Christ is a hopeless end but A life with Christ is an endless hope. Chose you this day where you want to spend eternity: in heaven or in hell? Following Jesus today will be the best decision you will ever make!

There are a lot of really fine people in this world. Some of them are worthy of imitation because they demonstrate in their lives wonderful behavior, pure speech, or a respectful attitude. Such rare people are a good pattern to follow most of the time. If you have read the Bible, then you know that no mere human is perfect. No mere human is a good example in every aspect of living all of the time. Each person makes mistakes. The Bible says that “all have sinned” (Romans 3:23); but not Jesus. He “committed no sin,” and that is why He, and He alone, is One about Whom we can say to ourselves and others, “. . . you should follow His steps” (1 Peter 2:21,22). Take Jesus out of the picture and there would be no completely reliable pattern to follow.

Prayer:

Lord Jesus, I choose you every day of my life, help me to live according to your Word and precept. Amen.
