In my first 2 posts, I briefly explained the origin of my domain name. As I continue blogging, I pray that my words are insightful and can help people live their lives in encouragement. faith, peace, love and joy. Next week is so important in believing. What does it mean to believe? Easter is a time that Jesus died on the cross and rose again. He died for our salvation. He died so our sins may be forgiven. God loves us so much that he allowed his begotten Son to be crucified on the cross so our sins may be forgiven.
To truly believe this means that you will go to heaven to be with the Father through Jesus. Of course you must repent of your sins because being absolved of your sins without being sorry is not meaningful. Throughout my whole life and not until recently, I did not fully understand this concept. I grew up with a religious background and was raised to be kind, honest, empathetic, loving and to be a good person to others but I did not know what it truly meant to be Christian. I thought that having these attributes made me a Christian. I thought that if a were a good person I was going to heaven. It wasn’t until chaos in my life found me in despair and with little hope. This is when I received my Christian faith and brought hopefulness.
Christian life is always and everyday a work in progress. But I do know that Jesus died on the cross so my sins are forgiven and that he put the Holy Spirit in me to help guide me through each day. Having a personal relationship with Jesus and knowing that I am loved unconditionally gives me great comfort. Easter is a time to reflect and to know that to be joined with the Father in Heaven, you must go through Jesus.
Have a Blessed day and a Blessed Easter week!
