Power of Redemption

The Lord, Jesus forgives all of us if we confess and repent. Becoming forgiven is a great thing once we believe that Jesus Christ is our savior for mankind's sins. Believing in Christ also means placing our trust in him and repenting from doing our past evils. By accepting Christ in our lives, we are able to lead a freer life away from the insatiable lusts that put us into ruins. By putting faith in God, we are called to be obedient to his will according to the Bible. Life becomes much more meaningful and we are able to provide for others with our gifts and talents. Serving God does not necessarily mean becoming a pastor, for there are many forms of servitude according to some Bible verse.

In some chapter of Colossians, the Apostle Paul teaches us to give everything onto the Lord. We should study hard because it is a good deed as students, and it should be mainly done because of our love for the Lord. We should never lack in our efforts in our school studies because the Lord has called for us to honor him by getting A's with hard work. Just as a pastor says, we should only put our focus on school when it is our time in it. The Lord is merciful and loves us. Just as Pastor Greg Laurie has said, we can disobey God and be forgiven later. Do we fall away from God because we love him?

We can forget about the past, once we are cleansed from our own wretched sins. The Lord reigns in our hearts and has full control over this universe. He is sovereign over man.

About Me

I'm just sharing my thoughts and don't expect much out of it with everybody. It's really fun for me to just write about anything that's on my mind. I know some people will know who I am in person because I've had my real name up so long.
