What does the world offer?
With all of our chasing or running after worldly possessions, what have we really gained that is eternal?
Peace that surpasses all understanding?
Sound mind, body and health?
Salvation from eternal damation?
Freedom?
Wisdom?
Knowledge?
Understanding?
All these things come with giving your life to Christ.
We should be seeking the Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus, and to have a close relationship with the Holy Spirit that actually lives within us.
All things on earth are temporary gains, that fades when we leave this world, but everything with Christ is eternal.
We should seek pleasure in reading and knowing the Father’s words.
Through the Father’s words, we would know the Father’s Will for our lives.
Rather than wanting to know what is going on with the Kardashian or any celebrity.
My rule of thumb is this, will all these celebrities that I am suppose to care about, will they get me into heaven?
If the answer is no then, it is meaningless.
We should be getting to know about the biggest celebrity, whom we rarely celebrate and whom we should be celebrating everyday.
Jesus Christ!
Jesus came into this world an innocent man, whom was just about doing his Heavenly Father’s business.
Saving us from walking on the wrong path, that we can never come back from once we leave this world.
Are worldly possessions more important than making our soul and spirit align with the Will of the Father?
For me I use to try chasing after material things such as money, having a lot of friends in my life and now I love it when it is just me, God and my family.
Nothing else matters to me.
All the money and fame gained through living a sinful life only leads to destruction and not salvation.
Have we ever taken time to read the word, meditate on the word and then go to the Lord and ask him what is the true purpose of him creating you?
What has he brought you to this world to do?
What gift or gifts has he placed inside you that is useful in his Kingdom?
Do you know one of the greatest failures in this world is never seeking God to really know your full potential in his Kingdom before you ever depart or leave this world.
But instead we are chasing after things of the world that will never save your soul from eternal hell.
We are allowed to enjoy some things in this world but make sure they reflect Christ in you.
Whenever you do something ask yourself. Is this something Christ would be pleased with or do?
Living for the world and doing worldly things is something you can never come back from once you die and leave this world.
It’s okay for man to fall, but as long as you keep getting back up that is all Jesus wants to see.
1 John 2:15-17:
“Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.”
“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world“
“And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.“
He wants to see you trying.
How to Please God
- Seek him
- Turn away from sin or ask him to help you to turn away from sin
- Showing compassion
- Reading the word to grow in Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding
- Give all of yourself to Jesus and never look back.
He is the way and the life to eternity. You cannot get to the Father without him.
I have a question to ask. What has the world done for you so far?
World’s Offer
All the world has ever offered you are:
- heartache
- depression
- lost in the world
- confused
- angry
- indebt
- betrayal
- false identity
- turning away from the people whom God placed into your life to help you get to the next chapter of your life.
- entertaining life of sin that leads you to destruction and eternal death
- imprisonment of the mind or sometimes even physically
- addictions of all kinds
- trapped
The list goes on and on, if i had kept going it could write a whole book with it.
Gains
What you get when you give your life to Christ are as followed:
- Freedom
- Peace of mind, body, and soul (that surpasses all understanding)
- Grace
- Love
- Compassion
- Hope
- Joy
- New identity in Christ
- Sense of direction
- Freedom from addiction
- Breakthroughs
- Spirit of discernment to know who God has truly placed in your life to help you and those whom Satan sent to distract you or destroy you.
- Debt free
- A distaste for sin, which makes you want to stay away from sin or anyone that lives in it. Which prevents other situations from happening
- Protection from those who are not really for you that are lying in wait to destroy you (they see you as an enemy and not a friend or family).
They don’t want you to live better or be better. They want you down and trapped.
This list goes on, on what Christ bring to the table.
These are the things and more that Christ brought into my life and after experiencing his salvation, peace of mind, body and soul. I never want to go back to the old me.
John 14: 27
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.”
Question to you.
What has Christ brought to your table and what has the world really offered you that is better than what Christ can do?
Christ has brought peace that surpasses all understanding (meaning peace in the time when there was chaos in my life), love, joy, forgiveness, and so much more.
Also ask yourself are you living right for Christ?
I try my best to live for Christ, I know I am a sinner and I am not perfect, but through Christ I am made perfect and whole.
Have you giving your life to Christ?
I have given my life to Christ.
Do you have a relationship with Christ?
I do have a relationship with Christ and it has been one of the best decision of my life.
