In high school, I didn’t sleep around, spend time partying
all the time and doing other illegal things some high school kids did, but I
was far from innocent. I cussed non stop, was very inappropriate with my
language and often went for jokes that easily crossed the line. While I wasn’t
horrible, I was far from being a saint.
I felt like I was a good person, wrong. I still did things
daily that were sins. Even though I thought daily my good outweighed my bad, it
wasn’t good enough in God’s eyes. It never is good in God’s eyes without Jesus.
Colossians 2:13-14…
“When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision
of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having
canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and
condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.”
The cross was a game changer. No matter what, we are bad in
God’s eyes. The only way that is corrected is with Jesus. All of our sins,
mistakes, false steps and failures are all washed away when we give our life to
Jesus. This is what it takes to get to heaven.
No matter how good we think we are, it’s not good enough.
Jesus is an eternal life changer, but only when we give everything over to him.
Where are you with Jesus? What steps do you need to make to
be closer to him?
Have a great day.
