Todays Bible passage

OK I realise my last blog was straight into it nothing about me or my life so I will Give you a little in site before I get to Today's topic I'm 'Jane' from 'Norm High' (which isn't all that norm but you will find out more when school goes back) I as you may have noticed I am a committed Christian and a newbie to blogging. Like most female teens in my year I have a crush but unlike most female teens I have decided with the help of God to wait until I'm at least 18. My crush my be returned but I'd rather wait anyway, its just a crush not the permanent thing called love.

OK I think I've said enough for today onto the topic

Revelation 3 19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. 2o Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens up the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.

This verse means that no matter how much God loves us we still need to be punished but If we repent (ask for forgiveness) and accept Jesus Christ into you hart and dwell with him our sins are wiped clean.

thanks for reading

Live for today




I know this is a famous saying but it is so true we don't know when our lives will end. Scary? Not if you have Christ even though we don't have Insurance we have assurance, assurance that there is a way to heaven ind its no Magic trick, Hard perfection rules or even 100 mother Mary's its just one man who was born to a virgin and is of God, he lived a perfect life, he died a sinners death and rose again our sins are wiped clean he took our punishment. But why do we need it... Because God created us with a choice and we decided to sin and God can't dwell with sinners so he sent Jesus (Christ) to die for OUR sins even if there was only one sinner in the world he would have died for that one person. How loving is that?


Even if we're wrong we don't have anything to lose I quote a unknown Non-Christian from a yahoo answers member (edited to suit blog)

We follow different religions, yet we may be grouped in one group against those who believe in no god, the subject is that all religions confirm that there will be severe punishment in the hereafter for those who believed in no god.

1) Believers in God

2) Unbelievers

The two groups above must have equal chance of being right:

1) The believers (50%)

2) The unbelievers (50%)

If the 50% possibility of non god existence is true then:

1) Lost nothing and won nothing

2) Lost Nothing, and won nothing

If the 50% possibility of god existence is true then:

1) Lost nothing Won everything

2) Lost everything

I.e. group 2 will not be safe while group 1 has a chance to be safe and even be winners.The numbers do not lie, Group 2 will always have a chance up to 50% to be doomed while group 1 do not have such chance. The important point is this, it is group 2 who will put themselves in that possible and very tough situation, i.e. till the moment of their natural death they should always be worried about that because they heard the message of all religions and are proud to reject all of them, they chose to reject the God and take the 50% very risky gamble.


So back to my first point living for today its now or never with God, if you say I'll ask for his forgiveness later you may never have the chance and if you ask for his forgiveness today you can live knowing that you have the promise of living forever in heaven

If you still don't want this forgiveness that's ok I pray you know what your doing,
If you already have this forgiveness that's great and
If you would like to ask for that forgiveness Pray to God for forgiveness prayer is just talking to God like you would talk to your best mate
here are a few simple Gide lines
1. Acknowledge in your heart that Jesus is Lord.
2. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord.
3. Believe that Jesus died for your sins and was raised three days later.
4. Repent of your sins.
still confused? just say this prayer
God, I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus' precious and holy name. Amen.

Prayer doesn't have to be fancy just talk to him if you ask him questions he will give you answers in different ways somethings we don't even need to know the answer yet or at all so God wont tell us and if you ask for something his answers are simple Yes, No or Maybe Later
Good luck in your walk with him
