The Fight

I would be lying if I said this Christian walk isn't a fight. Like a professional boxing match, all Christians will have to train themselves for battle. The fight isn't with people though, it's with spirits, and powers of darkness that rule this world. If you have been born again, you understand what I mean. This life is hard, very hard. Hard to keep the standard that Jesus left for us. We sin, and repent. We sin, then repent, its a constant thing through out life. It gets frustrating for myself and all christian's to have this never ending struggle with sin. But we all must remember that Christ's death paid the penalty for all sin. Lord knows I have my own issues and struggles, and sometimes it makes me want to give up. But I know the Lord all to well to quit. He's changed my life and I can't deny that. I write this for all of us who are broken and low in spirit to let you know to keep going! Keep fighting the good fight of faith, I promise you it won't all be for nothing. Christ is at the right hand of the father as I write this, praying for all of us. Let's not forget what he did for us. John 3:16

How to Know God

STEPS TO PEACE WITH GOD

Step One
God's Purpose: Peace and Life

God loves you and wants you to experience peace and life—abundant and eternal.

The Bible says . . .

"We have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 5:1

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

"I came that they may have life and have it abundantly."
John 10:10

Why don't most people have this peace and abundant life that God planned for us to have?

Step Two
The Problem: Our Separation

God created us in His own image to have an abundant life. He did not make us as robots to automatically love and obey Him. God gave us a will and a freedom of choice. We chose to disobey God and go our own willful way. We still make this choice today. This results in separation from God.

The Bible says . . .

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."
Romans 3:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Romans 6:23

Our Attempts to Reach God

People have tried many ways to bridge this gap between themselves and God.

The Bible says...

"There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death."
Proverbs 14:12

"But your iniquities have made a separation between you and your God, and your sins have hidden his face from you so that he does not hear."
Isaiah 59:2

No bridge reaches God . . . except one.

Step Three
God's Bridge: The Cross

Jesus Christ died on the Cross and rose from the grave. He paid the penalty for our sin and bridged the gap between God and people.

The Bible says . . .

"For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."
1 Timothy 2:5

"For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God."
1 Peter 3:18

"But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8

God has provided the only way. Each person must make a choice.


Our Response: Receive Christ

We must trust Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and receive Him in repentance and by faith.

The Bible says . . .

"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. "
Revelation 3:20

"But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God."
John 1:12

"Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Romans 10:9

Have you believed?

Will you receive Jesus Christ right now?

Here is how you can receive Christ:
1. Admit you are a sinner.
2. Believe Jesus died to pay for your sin.
3. Confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
4. Through prayer, receive Jesus Christ into your life as Lord and Savior.

How to pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need Your forgiveness. I believe that You died for my sins. I want to turn from my sins. I now confess you by faith as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, Amen.


God's Assurance: His Word
If you prayed this prayer, The Bible says . . .

"Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
Romans 10:13

Did you sincerely ask Jesus Christ to come into your life? What has He given you?

"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9

When you receive Christ, you are born into God's family through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit who indwells every believer. This is called regeneration, or the new birth.

This is just the beginning of a wonderful new life in Christ. To deepen this relationship you should:

1. Read your Bible every day to know Christ better.
2. Talk to God in prayer every day.
3. Tell others about Christ.
4. Worship, walk with, and work for Christ with other Christians in a church where Christ is preached.
5. As Christ's representative in a needy world, demonstrate your new life by your love and concern for others.

OHGOD INK=New and Fresh

My lil brother James Sims also known as Justhoughtz, has created in my opinion the best looking blog site ever lol. This site will give us all insight on various subjects and topics related to the christian walk. If you enjoy fellowship, dope blogs and some debates here and there go and visit the site. Here is the state of purpose:


Statement of Purpose.

OHGODINK is what we do, because of what we believe. We are the Voice of those who lack one. We are the liberators of the oppressed. We are the fathers to the fatherless, and the help to the widow. We are the gift to the poor, the comforters of those who mourn, the up lifters of the forgotten.

We have made ourselves servants to all.

For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win the more; and to the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might win Jews; to those who are under the law, as under the law, that I might win those who are under the law; to those who are without law, as without law (not being without law toward God, but under law toward Christ), that I might win those who are without law; to the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. Now this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I may be partaker of it with you.

We the people OHGODINK are dedicated to seeing the Great Commission fulfilled through abiding by the Great Commandment.
