But now I have life.
I will tell you this, pickle; not because I want to, but because it is my duty before Almighty God. You are a rude and unlikable person, but the horrors of hell are real and I wish them on no one, not even you. You are dead in your sin. You don't know the meaning of life, nor your primary purpose in life. You have no clue what gives you value, or the truth about what is fair. So I will tell you. But know you have no excuse because you reject the truth.
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT IS MOST IMPORTANT IN LIFE?
F. irst The Meaning Of Life. John 17:3 “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
Life is about knowing God personally, intimately. We were created to walk with God the same as Adam and Eve; to know Him, and fellowship with Him; and to know that He took on flesh, but He was/is not a created being. This is the meaning of life.
A. fter that, Our Primary Purpose In Life. Mark 12:30a “And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
THE great commandment. Not a great commandment, but THE great commandment. Love God with everything you are, including all of your willful decisions.
I. have value. Our Personal Value is infinite. Acts 20:28 “Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.”
Our personal value is determined in the same way you buy a piece of art or a can of corn at the store. What is actually paid is the value. God purchased us with His own blood and life on the cross. We have a value equal to the price paid for us, and the value of the payment is the immeasurably valuable blood and life of Christ.
R. emember, We really don't want What’s Fair In Life. Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
The wages of sin, what we have earned, and what is fair, is eternal death, in hell, in the lake of fire, flesh always burning, but never being consumed. Today, when I woke up, I didn't get treated fairly. Thank God!!! When I got up this morning, I was treated to infinitely better than fair. Not only that, but I didn't have to put up with the lies of the devil and his "You're worthless" routine. I know God personally, and have that great love relationship with Him. He always treats me with great respect and the worth with which He has blessed me. And He didn’t make me pay for the eternal debt of my sin. What a great day God has given to me.
