God is Love!!

Tell me if you can relate, growing up I pretty much feared god. It was instilled in me that god was always pointing his finger at me, counting my wrongs and condemning me. It got to the point where I said "I might as well not try to have a relationship with him because I'll never be clean enough or perfect enough for god." That's how a lot of baptist churches are. You get told that if you do this sin or you do that sin, then you broke your relationship with god and you better repent or you're going to hell. But it is not like that at all. My mom moved us out of that church and into Living Word Christian Center and I tell you I can't even describe how much I've grown. From the start they teach you that its not your job to fix yourself and then present yourself to god, but to just come as you are. You know you aren't anywhere near perfect, and God knows this too. haha He says in John 6:40- For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. That means no matter how bad you've messed up or how bad you currently are, as long as you believe in your heart and confess out of your mouth that Jesus is your lord. You will get into heaven. And from that point Jesus will start working in you and molding you into a better person. You don't go through anything on your own. Isaiah 43:2 - When you pass through the waters(tough times), I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers(have burdens on your back), they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze." Just know that God not here to condemn you or make a list of all of your faults. God is love and all he wants to do is Love you and give you all of the promises that are in the bible. Which there are over 7000 promises. Revelations 5:12- In a loud voice they sang: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" These are the things that you are entitled to once you've accepted Jesus as your lord. There ways to tap into this inheritance and we will get to that. For now, BE BLESSED!!!!
