When you've lost something important, you'll go to great lengths to find it. God loves us so deeply that He pursues us even when we are lost and have turned our back on Him. He wants nothing more than for us to find forgiveness and freedom in the saving love of Jesus.
No matter how far we have walked away from God, He waits with arms opened wide for us to turn from a life of sin and be washed clean by the blood of Jesus. He paid the price so we can have freedom and eternal life. Do you think you are too far from Jesus...you're not?
Following Jesus isn't just about getting a ticket into heaven. He calls us to give our lives to Him in obedience - to follow His lead and live a life of loving sacrifice at home, at work, at school or wherever He leads. Are you ready to count the cost of following Jesus?
In the parable of the pharisee and the tax collector, we see the contrast between someone self-importantly working for their salvation, and someone seeing themselves as a humble sinner before God in need of a Savior. Are you humbly submitting your life to the Lord?
There are storms and trials that we will face in our lives, but how we weather the storm is based on the foundation of what our faith is built on. Thomas challenges us to examine if we have built our faith on the firm foundation of Jesus or the weak foundation of the world. What foundation are you building your faith on?
When we have put our faith and trust in Jesus, we can't call on His name and then go about living our lives like the rest of the world. Jesus calls us to a life that looks different as we walk in obedience to God.
Jesus warns us to watch out for people who twist God's Word to lead people astray. The more we know God's Word, the easier it will be for us to test the teachings we hear. Are you spending time in the Bible every day?
"The Golden Rule" challenges us to treat those around us as we would want to be treated by others - a simple command that would completely change the world if everyone took it to heart. How are you treating others? And how can we know with certainty that Jesus is the way?
What we spend our time with is what we serve. Bob challenges us to spend intentional time with God reading His Word, talking to Him, and listening to Him. Your relationship with Him will grow deeper as you learn more and more about who God is.
