I
believe faith is one of the most important things to own in
this world. It cannot be bought. It cannot be bottled and
sold. It can only come from within and come from God. Jesus
Christ. The previous sentence may not look like a sentence
at all, but it is to me. Jesus Christ, PERIOD. He is my Savior,
and in Him I will have my faith. If it wasn't for Him, there
would be no need or desire for faith. Faith in Him can be,
and is to me, the most important ownership on the earth. No
riches, no glory, no fame, no accomplishment is more important
that what He did for me (and for you) on the cross about 2000
years ago. I think in amazement at the mercy and love showed
to the world, that God would give up His own Son, just for
the underachievement of His creation. We are His creation.
We don't live up to what He has in purpose for us. We fail,
big time. In response to this, He sent a sacrifice to cover
up for our spiritual condition, the sin nature. This way,
being that God cannot look upon sin, He can still take us
in His arms and love us again. He loves us very much. Even
when we spit in his face. I know I do it on a daily basis,
just by ignoring what He has blatantly told me to do. And
when I think about what I'm doing, I notice that He doesn't
love me any less, but just disappointed in me. And when you
love someone, you want to make the effort to improve, a way
to rekindle the relationship. This is done through the work
of the Holy Spirit and through Jesus Christ. There is no other
way.
John 14:6, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way,
the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but
by me.
