You know I had a revelation this weekend.
As Christians it is not up to us to make others believe, or talk them into it. That is where we run into trouble. Christianity is about a personal relationship with god and that can not be forced. Once someone is saved they will not want to sin any more. I think maybe we have been going about things backwards. It is true certain sins cloud your mind and spirit and cut you off from God and that is why we are told not to do them, but the point of avoiding sin is to grow closer to God. Without that relationship many of the teaching of the Bible make no sense. It is tragic when a single soul is lost so that is what we should focus on. Instead of teaching the law first the way to truly change what is wrong with the world is to witness and focus on saving souls.
The good thing about that is that it isn't even up to us to make people believe, God doesn't even give himself the right to force people to obey him. All Christians should do is state what we know to be the truth, the rest is between the person we are talking to and God. We don't need to worry about winning points in debates and we should not get mad at others for not seeing the truth because that is where we were before the grace of God touched us through Jesus his son.
I know I have not been a good witness in the past and I was not keeping faith but that changes now. I am not getting mad at people or engaging in pointless debates that there is no way to win, instead I will just say what I know to be true and trust in God for the rest. After all if I truly am I Christian I should believe every word of the Bible is divine and that means trusting in God for everything I need and not hating others for what they says about me or my faith. After all the Bible does say that God's word will not return void, so I will follow that from now on and will stop complaining and stop fighting with people.
After all it's not my battle to win.
Sorry about the long winded post and sorry for the way I have acted in the past, talking about killing myself and wishing death on others, that was very wrong of me.
Okay carry on with the random thoughts.
