...choose this day whom you will serve...as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.

Joshua 24:15b

Several years ago, I heard a very popular Christian speaker talk to a large audience for an hour. He said nothing heretical. He said nothing controversial. He just focused on the “unconditional” love of God. Again, nothing wrong with what he did say, but it is what he did not say that bothered me. He said nothing about repentance of sin. There is a reason Jesus said what he said in the above bible verse. And there is a reason John the Baptist introduced Jesus to the world with the exact same proclamation in Matthew 3:2: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

There is a popular trend going on in the American Christian church. The trend is to talk of the love of God without talking about the justice of God. But if you read the Bible, it is clear, there exists both the grace of God and the wrath of God, and Jesus Christ spoke of both.

Many Christians around the world have been celebrating Holy Week this week culminating today with Easter Sunday or what some churches call Resurrection Sunday. It is to commemorate the victory of Jesus over Satan, sin, death and hell. This is good news! And “good news” is the meaning of the word “gospel.”

It is true that God’s love for mankind is “unconditional.” However, in order for man to be in right relationship with God, man must conform his life to match with God’s requirement of man. And God does not force this decision on man. God draws a person to himself, but it is the free will of the individual to decide if he or she will obey God’s requirements for a right relationship or not.

Jesus called this experience being “born again.” In other words, a person (every human) must understand that he or she has violated God’s laws and is forever separated from God spiritually unless he or she repents of their sin and trust in the shed blood of Jesus on the cross for forgiveness of that sin in order to be counted among those who have been redeemed. Redeemed from the consequences of unrepentant sin which is death and hell. What I am writing here in not popular in modern day America and where we want to live our own life without interference from God. It’s our natural tendency to live for ourselves instead of obey the commands of God. That is the eternal struggle between flesh and the spirit.

In order to prove our love for Christ, he says we must deny ourselves, pick up our cross daily, and follow him. Our “cross” is a challenge to wake up daily and try our best to live like Jesus. The way we learn to live like Jesus is to study the Bible, take time to pray and fellowship with other believers (followers) which we call “church.” God knows we will fail at this precisely because we are human. Sometimes we are tempted by sin and we give in to it. But the Bible also says that if we are willing to confess our sins to God, He is willing to forgive us. That also is great news!

No one is compelled to believe this. You may read this and call it foolishness. That is your right. But if that is your view, I at least encourage you to read one book in the Bible, the gospel of John, and consider the claims of the Bible and Christ before you dismiss Christianity.

To my fellow Christians, I say, “He is Risen!”

Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?
(i.e. The one and only God, i.e. The God of the Bible)

Christian salvation is not magic...

To many people treat Christian salvation like it is some magic formula that you don’t need to understand but if you do it correctly, you will avoid Hell and get your free ticket to Heaven and God will bless you in this life. That is not Christianity, it may be religion and comes in many forms, but it is not true Christianity, and it doesn’t work. True Christianity is a personal relationship with God and a right relationship with your fellow man.

Biblical Salvation is a covenant, not a contract, Salvation is between God and an individual person. A contract only lasts as long as both sides want it to, a covenant is a binding agreement. (i.e. ’once saved always saved’, God knows your heart, and He won’t enter into the covenant if you aren't fully committed, you must choose.)

Sin, in the Christian vocabulary, is when you disobey God. This includes your morals and your ethics, but also in not honoring God as God.

It doesn’t matter what words you quote or use, but it does matter what you mean. You must accept and agree with God’s moral and ethical values, as described in the Bible, and confess that you have violated them. Usually that means you are living your life for yourself for the most part. Furthermore, you must agree that God’s moral and ethical values are good and just. Then, you must realize, admit you are a sinner and repent of your sin The word ‘sin’ literally means missing the mark. The ‘mark’ when it comes to biblical salvation is the moral and ethical standards of God and other clearly taught standard of living as outlined in the Bible. That and honoring the God of the Bible as the one true God. In other words, change your mind about your sin, and desire to turn from your sin to follow God in righteous living. However, you also must realize that on your own power you can’t change. That is where the Gospel is ‘good news’. By the power of the Holy Spirit, you can overcome your sinful nature. You will never be sinless in this life, but you can change from being OK with your sin to desiring to live a life pleasing to God, and having the power, through the Holy Spirit, to overcome. If you are honest with God about this, he will change you in his timing. Some things will change quickly, others not so quickly, but you will never be sorry you choose him. Learn more...

"Cowardice asks the question, "is it safe?"

Expediency asks the question, "is it politic?"

Vanity asks the question, "is it popular?"

But Conscience asks the question, "is it right?"

There comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular, but one must take it because "it is right."
