What are you waiting for?

Are you a Christian? Do you even know what I mean? When you leave this place we call Earth and your body closes on it's last day what will happen to your soul? Ever thought about that?

In the book of Ephesians chapter 2 verses 4-5 the Bible (God's Living Word) states this:
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love for with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespass (Sin), made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved). NKJV
So what does this mean? It means that in our ugliest state, when others couldn't even look at us because of our arrogance and sin, God our Heavenly Father, looked down upon us and made a way for us to clean up our act. He made a way for us to live a life of purity. He made a way for us to when we leave this place, when we are dead in body, to live eternally with Him in spirit.
So then what do to become a Christian? Well, it's quite simple. First know that it is nothing you do personally. You can't climb the highest mountain and get to Him. If you run the longest race you will never catch up to Him. No charity, no love offering, no work can ever take you to the "Life-Giver". This life in Christ is truly a gift in which HE paid the ultimate the price for. He spread wide His arms and died so you and I could live. How awesome is that?

1) Admit that you are a sinner. The Bible tells us that we are all sinners.
2) Believe that Jesus is the Son of GOd and that He died and rose for your sins.
3) Confess your sins, ask God's forgiveness and commit your life to Christ.
I told you it was simple didn't I? So what are you waiting for?
