Just as little bragging Sherelene shot this at lunch of my granddaughter Abigail lower right and my niece Gracie between us!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was thinking about the last umpteen years of sharing Christ with a lost world, and I thought of some of the great questions I’ve been asked, and thought you might like to hear the questions and the answers God has given me to share!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question: Does God keep a record of rights and wrongs, and is that how we get into heaven? \u00a0More rights than wrongs?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer: \u00a0God knows all, but he is not keeping a score card, salvation and forgiveness can only be accomplished in one way, confession of our sins, genuine repentance, and acceptance of Jesus’ forgiveness. \u00a0Nothing else will work.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question: \u00a0How can you live a Christian life?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer; The line I love from the much discussed movie “What If ” sums it up very well; \u00a0“Everything in life boils down to this; \u00a0 God loves you, so love other people. \u00a0God sacrificed everything to be with you, so, sacrifice everything.” \u00a0There isn’t much more to say!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question: \u00a0How can I forgive others that have hurt me so deeply?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer: \u00a0Take a lesson from Jesus life. \u00a0Judas was Jesus friend, and he betrayed him even to the death, for money, and not much money at that! \u00a0But, Jesus wanted to forgive him, he really did, in spite of his betrayal Jesus still loved him. \u00a0If we are willing He can give us that kind of forgiveness for others.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question: \u00a0What will the Christian life give me that I don’t have now?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer: \u00a0Peace, joy, assurance ,and a purpose greater than what the world gives us.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question: \u00a0How do you know that?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer: \u00a0That is what He has given me!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Question: \u00a0Can I have that?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Answer: Yes, all you need is to desire it more than want to keep control of your life, and are willing to trust Him with it, to accept Him, and ask Him to come into your life and change you into what He has always wanted you to be. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Spend the weekend contemplating these questions and answers and if you haven’t already, find your own answers from the only one that has them!<\/p>\n
