He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Insurance policies reimburses you for loss but does not replace the loss. Money cannot replace what we have lost.
For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
Try telling that to anyone who has not repented of their sins. They don’t get it. Granted it does take a little explaining, but trust me, it is worth it.
Life insurance only provides funds to our beneficiaries. We don’t buy it for ourselves. What kind of coverage are we looking for in this life with Christ?
I am going to be frankly honest with everyone based on my personal experience. When I placed my faith in Christ I had no idea what I was doing. I was only concerned about the life I was leading. If someone is drowning do they reject the first lifeguard that comes along? I don’t think so.
We who were on the road to destruction just wanted to get off and find a different path. It is a different path but where does it lead? The only thing I cared about at that moment was getting off the path to destruction. I was grateful but in those early moments I didn’t care where I was going. I felt safe for the first time in my life. What should come next was no longer a matter of me making those choices. I needed to explore this rock that provided firm footing.
my little children, for whom I am again in the anguish of childbirth until Christ is formed in you!
I heard this but I had no idea how Dhrist could be formed in me. Then it dawned on me that Paul was speaking about being born again. How was it that reading one passage led me to seek understanding from another passage? Was there some agent of change at work in me that I was not aware of yet? This is not how I lived my life before, this was new.
John 3:7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’
John 5:28 Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice
Wow, I was spiritually dead and now I am alive and I can hear Him.
