Quick Tips: Bad vs. Dead
Jesus did not come into this world to make bad people good. He came into this world to make dead people live.
Are you constantly studying the Bible to try to be good? Stop and relax! Spend time with Jesus daily. Come to Jesus and have life. John 5:39-40 (NIV) You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, yet you refuse to come to me to have life.
Are you afraid that God is punishing you for something? Stop and accept grace. A thief comes to kill and destroy. Jesus came so that you may have a full life. John 10:10 (NIV) The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
Are you constantly trying to make the people around you be good? Stop and love! Let the joy of Christ overflow “on account of you.” Phil 1:26 (NIV) so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me.
Are you afraid of dying? Stop and enjoy your eternal life! Being with Christ is “better by far.” Phil 1:23-24 (NIV) I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far.
