I have not become a perfect person since following Jesus, but I have become a student of God's Word, and a son of the living God. I am seeking to learn to be as loving and kind as Jesus. We are in a spiritual war, Ephesians 6:12. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Jesus’s Holy Spirit has helped me through many battles. His love has never failed me. He has given me the Grace to overcome many sins. Somehow, He has seen fit to use me to share the Gospel with many. If I calculate 2 people a day, it would come to 35,040 people and multiplied by an average of 6 brothers and sisters sharing with me this number could be multiplied by 6. These are people who we shared the good news of the Gospel face to face. The reason I am sharing this is not to boast but to bring to your attention that if we are faithful to share the Gospel our influence for the Kingdom of God adds up. If we train others to share the Gospel our influence in this world multiplies. He is faithful to use our lives, even if we are not perfect. Jesus is perfect and that's what counts. I have submitted to His Lordship over my life. I understand that eternal life "the entrance into Heaven" is a free gift. When Jesus died on the cross, He removed all sin. Every human being has a choice to believe in what He has done and allow Him to take away their sins or not believe and stand before God at judgment without the cleansing blood of Jesus the Christ. It's a choice. It's your choice. We as believers, need constant cleansing from defilement contracted in this pilgrim walk through this fallen world. Titus 3:5 tells us; not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Spirit. We all need this washing of our souls and renewing of the Holy Spirit daily to keep an open connection with God through His Holy Spirit. Heaven is a non-returnable gift when someone “truly” receives Jesus as their Savior. The Holy Spirit's cleansing allows us to live in a pleasing way in our Father's eyes while we walk in this world. “Something for you to think about, If someone is not happily loving Jesus here on earth, they will not be happy living with Him for eternity”.view less
