Hey.
Sup..?
I havn't had supper yet. xP. I have to go to sleep though.... xP I havn't had supper in a few days... xP I have like 3 heads of romain in my fridge that need to be eaten, but clearly not for breakfast and lunch is inconvenient for a salad, so supper is the only possibility I have left......... They cost me 4$ yo.
Anyways, I managed to get everything done today and even kinda read over the stuff I'll be going through with KC tommorow. It's in this book "Knowing Jesus Personally". Lesson 1: Understanding Your Relationship with Jesus Christ. I suppose I should breifly cover the gospel in case you havn't heard it so that it all makes sense.
4 main points:
1. God loves you. He made you perfect and in his image so that you could have a relationship with Him and fulfill the purpose and plan he has for you.
2. Our Condition: All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. This sin separates us from Him. This sin is anything that keeps us from a relationship with Him such as going your own way for selfish desires or just ignoring Him. This condition that we have makes us impure and unable to establish a relationship with Him by our own means.
3. God's Response. God sent his only begotten son to die for our sins. The wages of sin is death. Jesus had no sin. You cannot get rid of your sin, but Jesus has already paid the price for your sins. He died on the cross and rose from the dead.
4. Your Response: Knowing this is not enough. Neither is an emotional experience. You must accept the gift of eternal life and invite Jesus into your life. You can do this by praying a prayer repenting for your prior sins, thanking Jesus for paying for them and asking Jesus to come into your life and lead you to become the person God meant you to be.
Anyway, that is a very basic general overview of the gospel.
So, ya. Tommorow's lesson has 5 truths.
1. Christ forgave your sin.
2. Christ made you a child of God.
3. Christ came into your life and he will never leave you.
4. Christ gave you new life.
5. Christ gave you eternal life.
There are various bible quotes and thought provoking questions associated with the lesson. The last question is "Which of these five truths are especially maeningful to you now?" and "Why?". I'm really bad at deciding one thing over another. I can't decide between 1 and 3. I have sinned, but He still forgave me. He hasn't just forgiven me, He is also giving me a purpose and he has a plan for my life, even though I was a sinner. On top of that if I ever happen to sin He doesn't just throw me aside, He is always there. He always calls us back to Him, we just need to hear Him and repent of the sin.
I probably didn't explain what those truths actually mean to me properly, but you get the point, right?
Anyways, I'll ttyl.
