Fear

You're rowing a boat and you're about to go over the waterfall. Jesus is throwing you a rope, but you want to save yourself. You're getting closer and closer to the edge. All you need to do is drop the ores and grab a hold onto the rope.

We all dwell on fear. We like to jump off cliffs, out of planes, ride roller coasters, and race cars at 200 miles an hour. If you have nothing to fear in life then you will end up dead. And when you come to God's judgment and you've broken His laws and never accepted Jesus for hi sacrifice, then where do you think you'll go? You've broken the law and disobeyed God. Where do you think he'll send you? There is no pivoting point, there is Hell of Heaven. The problem with a lot of Christians is that they don't believe in Satan's domain; Hell. That's a big mistake! What is Hell to you? You don't want to make the most important mistake of all eternity. This is your life. When you die, and you never repented, you will not have an eternal life. Why would you believe that you deserve life? What have you done to earn an eternal life? There are no extra deeds to save you. When we have a near to death experience, why do we automatically pray to God? Why do we turn to God when we are at the end of our rope? We are terrified what will happen to us after we die. Many people are not ready for death. They fear what will happen because they are unsure. There is no assurance to what happens to you. So why not leave for fears with Jesus and let him take care of your worries. The Holy Spirit will help give you faith and confidence whatever happens, because God is on our side.

Baptism is extremely important. It is an expression of your obedience. That's what I have learned. It is not just a religious ritual, but a witness to show you physically offer your obedience to God.

Jesus dwells within us. We should commemorate his sacrifice, dedication, teachings, and love for us. It takes courage to accept him and not fear what others think.

For 800 years people sacrificed lambs blood. 600 years before Christ came, Moses told us that the Messiah was coming. So 600 years went on and nothing happened. Then David was told us that the Messiah had arrived. The one who was to show us the way of God was finally here. And Jesus Christ died on the cross of Calvary for our sins. He never cried to God that he didn't want to die, he wasn't afraid! He embraced his cross and knew what he was going to die for. So that we can live a sinless life. He taught us how to love each other, to live with the Holy Spirit. As long as we accept Jesus into our lives and fear the Lord, because no man on earth can harm us after we are gone. A man can kill you, but he can't do anything else to you after that. You are God's child.
