Woohoo. Let it be known that today I finally learned how to swim. Well, basically. I can dog paddle, and travel a bit under water. I'm still learning to float using little energy, like you would if you were shipwrecked.
Easter Sunday tomorrow. :D Let's take this time to appreciate the great sacrifice that God made for us around 2000 years ago. We have to remember that it should've been us on that cross, suffering and dying for our sins.
... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (ROMANS 3:23)
But because Jesus did all that for us already, we don't have to.
"... I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." (JOHN 10:10b)
And everybody that believes in their hearts that Jesus is the Son of God like he said he was, and that he died so that we don't have to die, is very blessed indeed, for they're going to Heaven! :D
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (JOHN 3:16)
Aha so this stuff is making sense now. Suddenly, what Jesus did sounds more significant. I have to constantly remind myself of the great sacrifice that was made for my sake, even though I don't deserve it. In this way, I remember to love and serve the LORD with all my heart. I admit that I'm not perfect in doing this, but God doesn't mind. He knows very well that I'm not perfect. As long as I give Him my heart, He's happy. I guess that's why I can't help but share some Bible truths whenever I make a blog entry.
