Highlights
Many people today are afraid of God because they see His standards as unattainable for any human. They believe that no matter how hard they try to serve God, they will always fall short. This fear, combined with the weight of their current sins, leads them to hide from God's presence rather than seek Him.
I used to be one of those people. What I didn’t realize was that the devil wanted me to stay in that place of fear and condemnation, keeping me distant from God until death claimed me.
But when I realized that God is my Father, I understood that He doesn’t wake up each day searching for sinners to punish. Instead, He eagerly seeks out sinners to bring them back into His fold of sonship, no matter what they’ve done. This revelation completely transformed my attitude.
Imagine a scared dog approaching a stranger, wagging its tail timidly, unsure of what might happen. That was how I approached God hesitant, fearful, expecting judgment. But to my greatest surprise, God ran out to meet me. He didn’t scold or condemn me; instead, He cried out with joy, saying, "My son, I’m so happy you’ve come home. My heart was broken watching you out there. I feared you had become so blinded and frightened that you forgot I am love. I have loved you from the start and never stopped, even when you thought you were the worst of all."
Now that I’ve come home, God has shown me the wonderful things He has prepared for me and others like me who were once lost but are now found. He removed my guilt and replaced it with a heart full of gratitude. Now, my thoughts are consumed with those who are still living in fear, thinking of God as a harsh military commander who only issues orders. If only they would take a step closer, they too would be blown away by the overwhelming love and grace that awaits them, just as I was.
Glory be to the Holy God Almighty and to our God in flesh, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, who overcame death and brought every race to our Father who lives forever and ever.
The greatest testimony of my life is that God transformed me from merely being identified as a Christian to earnestly seeking to know Him and understand what pleases Him. I was born into a Christian home, attended church, and prayed in times of trouble. There were moments in my life when I desired to follow God faithfully, but I never achieved long-term success because the power of sin continually condemned me and dragged me back into despair.
Had I died at any point in my life up until nine months ago, God would undoubtedly have told me, "Depart from me; I never knew you." But His grace preserved me for His plan of redemption and true salvation. Today, I can boast only in the power and mercy of God, who saved me even when I wasn't trying so hard. He heard my cry, never grew tired of me, and rescued me from the pit of fire.
Though I still have concerns about the future while I am here on earth, I am not without hope. The One who lives forever has bought me with His blood and given me everlasting life even when I was still a rebel.
As we chase after our dreams, hopes and accomplishments let's keep in mind that we will give account of what we did in these body. If you are not aware, know that your creator is Holy and Righteous and he has made all provisions for you to have a place with him in his presence and that involves accepting his sacrifice when he came as a man Jesus Christ to pay for the requirements of the law of his righousnes for all of our shortcomings and that he calls all human kind to repent from their sins and strive everyday to live righteously till the end.
