MADE TO LAST

So the past 2 weeks with our youth group we have been talking about how we can live forever. God created us to last forever. We have to exp. date, there is no time when our soul comes to an end. Simply put we are created to LAST FOREVER. For anyone that has been in the church for any amount of time you know that you can only live forever with Jesus Christ. It is just a awesome thought to know that no matter what the enemy throws at you, nothing can harm you b/c of Jesus.

One main concept that we have to understand (to the best of our ability) to live forever is that of God's Grace. It's easy for someone to say that God's grace is so amazing, but I believe it goes much deeper than that. To often I (i'm sure much like you) take advantage of God's grace. We feel entitled to the things that we have, we feel that we deserve the things that we have. Every blessing that I have in my life (life, health, family, friends, food, house, etc...) is all b/c of God's grace. I am a sinful person and born into a sinful world, disobedient and disconnected from God. It's only b/c of God's grace that He blessed me and you with the blessings that He has.

Be thankful today and don't take it for granted. God's grace goes far beyond anything that we can image. Live today accepting and receiving God's grace on your life. The ultimate example of God's grace is Jesus Christ. God sent His Son Jesus to live die and live again all while we were still sinners. That is grace...Be thankful...Accept it

"The word GRACE emphasizes at one and the same time the helpless poverty of man and the limitless kindness of God" -William Barclay
