Coming Soon: 6 Myths About Eternal Life

Have you ever wondered “I’m saved, but now what?” The Truth is that Jesus wants you to have an incredible life (Jn. 10:10). The Dilemma is that He wants you to have this life according to His way and His will (Acts 4:12, Jn. 14:6). The Myth is that you somehow deserve, can earn, or will spend eternity with Christ on your own terms (Eph. 2:8-9) The Good News is that Jesus died and rose again so that you can live that extraordinary life for which your are designed (Jn. 3:16).

Here are 10 actions after believing in Christ:

1. Get your hands on a Bible and read it
2. Find a church that teaches the Bible clearly and confidently

Do you know people that are Single? Are you Single? Are you married and advising people that are Single? What would you say is the greatest reason of discontent for Singles?

Please listen to it and let me know if you agree.

Each of us faces discontentment at some point in our lives. In fact, we face it more often than we probably care to admit. There are at least 4 indicators that you might be discontent: 1) Worry 2) Whining 3) Waiting without Hope 4) Wrestling with God.

Here are 5 steps to help you choose contentment over discontentment:

1) Reorient your life around the existence of God
2) Grow through life circumstances rather than just go through life circumstances
3) Submit to the sovereignty of God
4) Implement what God has invested in your life
5) Never doubt God’s supply

Why do we gather for Easter Sunday? Why does the Church put so much effort into it? My answer is that Easter can be likened to the Christmas Superbowl. It is a natural holiday that most embrace/endure. The Good News of Easter is this:

1. No one deserves to go to Heaven or eternal life
2. Christ died for our sins
3. Christ was buried for our sins
4. Christ rose from the grave

The next step is ours, to believe these facts in our hearts! What are your thoughts about Easter?

Do you ever wonder if there are benefits associated with having a personal relationship with Christ? It dawned on me that it is critical to address the benefits that are associated with having a personal connection to Christ. If you have yet to start this relationship, forgive the church for not clearly sharing the benefits of knowing Christ. Here are six benefits of having a personal connection to Christ.

1.His Pardon of all of your moral failures
2. His Power is shared with you to navigate life
3. His Package: He gives you everything you need to live a satisfying and successful life.
4. His Promises: He commits Himself to spectific outcomes for your life.
5. His Partnership: He relates to you in every area of your life. He is never too busy or unavailable to respond to your need.
6.His Protection: We live in a challenging and dangerous time. God offers His ultimate protection from the evil present in our world.

Gary Chapman wrote a poplular book entitled “5 Love Languages.” In his book, he suggest that people need to learn what communicates love to others. He offers five primary love languages (ways) that communicate love. I would like to suggest that God has a love language as well. We often overlook God’s expressions of love because we do not know (recognize) His love language. In other words, we do not understand how God expresses his love in every aspect of our lives. May I suggest that God expresses His love in at least 5 ways:

1. God’s Declaration of Goodness
2. God’s Creation
3. God’s Activity in Salvation
4. God’s Activity in Protection
5. God’s Activity in Provision
