Here in Nigeria,some people can just conclude that you are not a Christain because you don't tie your hair to Church and that you've backslided because they saw you hanging out with the opposite sex...
We are so good at writing people off without even knowing who they are.
We see a girl with her hair tinted and just conclude that she can never be a Christain.
God isn't one who pushes people because of how they look or even what they've done.
NLT Bible. Colossians 1:22
[22]Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
God in his fullness and mercy wrote the redemption plan even before we existed,yes He knew man will fail Him someday but He just can't let us wallow and continue to dwell in darkness and then He made a plan which His son would later carry out.
He knew every man who hear about this story will find it hard to believe because His plan was actually too good to be true.How can a King leave his throne in Heaven and come dwell on earth and so He gave a condition that whoever believe in His son will be saved.Yes,it is as simple as that
You must believe that by your self,you can't be righteous and that is why the people of Israel even though they tried but they couldn't call God,Abba (Father) but now we can,not because we work for it but because we have been purchased by the blood of Christ.
You are reconciled back to God the moment you believed in His dear son.You stand in His presence without blamishes not because you are righteous by your works but He has clothe you with His righteousness.
You are the righteousness of God not because of your work
You are loved
You are righteous
You are important,very important
You are not loved by God because you pray 6 hours everyday but He has loved you unconditionally.
It is hard to believe that we are actually standing in the presence of God without any single fault but He is a God that honours His word more than His name.
It doesn't matter how bad people think you are or how bad you think you are.
It is Man that looks at the physical appearances and it is Religion that feels the way a member looks doesn't look good on it.
It doesn't matter how bad your past look but what matters most is that Abba is recklessly in love with you,He is not careful while loving you and doesn't owe anyone an explanation for loving you the way He does.
Mary Magdalene who was a well known prostitute,was the one who prophetically prepare Christ for His burial by pouring a costly oil on Him.Everybody sure would have given up on her and even conclude that nothing good can ever come out of her but prophetically preparing Christ for His burial wasn't all that happened to her,she was the first to see the resurrected Massiah.
I think our Lord Jesus have an attraction for bad guys
You think that Mary Magdalene was the only bad girl he met,no!
He actually came from the lineage of some bad guys
Because He loves us equally,he chose to even come from a not so perfect lineage
It all started with His great great grandmother Rehab who was a harlot and then Tamar who even slept with her father in-law,then we saw David,a serial womanizer,that was not all,he chose to make the son of Bethsheba(Solomon), king,now Bethsheba is the wife of Uriah the man that David made sure he died,so that he can take his wife.
Some certain people are not allowed in the church because of their past or even their present but isn't the Church suppose to be like the hospital where people go to,to get treated of their infirmities,so why have we decided to change the reason for Jesus death?
Didn't he told us that,He came for the sinners?
so why do we push them away?
Tell me, how can they experience the love of God,if we all just run away from them because we think having them around us can currupt our righteousness.
The bad guys are covered still because they are part of the redemption plan.
God wish that none should perish and it is high time you started thinking like your father.
Judge not so that you will not be judge as well
Though bad today but Jesus isn't tired to wait so He can turn you from bad to good.
Our God can so turn coal into diamonds
Sands into pearls and work into a butterfly,so there is actually no life He can change
