Verses: Ecclesiastes 7:15-29
My thoughts about the
verses:
Each and Every one of us
is made in the perfect image of God. It doesn’t
matter what race you are God made you to be perfect. It doesn’t matter what sex you are God made
you to be perfect. It doesn’t matter
what abilities you have God made you to be perfect. It doesn’t matter your sexual orientation God
made you be perfect.
We are all made to be
perfect. It is not who we are that makes
us stray away from God. God does not
make mistakes. Therefor without a doubt
each one of us is made in the perfect image of God.
There are many people
that try to change who they are so that they can have a relationship with
God. We do not have to change who we
were created to be. God loves us just the
way we are. It is not what God created
that causes our separation from God.
We stray from God by our
actions. We all commit sins each and every
day. It is those sins that cause us to
stray from God. We make foolish choices every
day and those choses are what separate us from God.
We have to look at our
lives and what choices we make. Are we
choosing wisely or are we choosing foolishly?
It is our actions that we need to look at. If we do not want to stray from God we must
choose to live wisely. Yet, we all need
to realize that we all will make foolish choices.
People who ask Jesus
into their heart are saved. Their sins
from the past will be forgiven. The fact
is that Christians commit sins. The sins that we do commit after we accept Jesus
as our Savior are also forgiven. Therefor
being a Christian means that you are a sinner that has been forgiven of your
sins. It does not mean that your actions
will be perfect. It doesn’t mean that
you will never do anything foolish again. What it does mean is that when you do make
foolish mistakes you will not stray away from God.
People are under the
misconception that there are also different degrees of sin. People think that if they do not do big sins
that they are making wise decisions. We
need to learn that there are no differences.
Sin is sin and you need God to overcome the consequences of sin.
When you do not have God
in your life you are not forgiven of the sins that you do. You stray from God each time that you commit
a sin. Your actions have led you down a
path that takes you further and further from God. You can come back down the path if you realize
you need God. You have the option to be
forgiven yet that choice is up to each and every individual to make.
We all need Jesus in our
lives. When we accept that we need Jesus
our life changes. We realize that we
have hope. You come to the point in your
life that you have a guide that helps you make wise choices. You realize that when you make foolish
decisions that you need to ask God to forgive you.
We need to understand
that the acceptance of the gift of salvation allows you to be a role model for
others. As you grow closer to Christ you
will become more Christ like. People
will see you for the good that you do.
Even when you fall short you know that Christ will be there helping
you. We can all come back to the fold of
God if we ask Jesus into our life.
Prayer:
We thank you God for
your love. We offer our praise up to you
for your salvation. We ask you to come
into our lives. Help us walk closer to
you. Help us always to remember that you
created us to be who we are. Help us make
wise choices. In the name of the Risen
Savior we pray. Amen
Questions:
Have you asked God into
your life? Do you accept that God
created you in God’s perfect image? Are
you willing to turn over your entire life to God? Are you willing to make the wisest choice
that you can ever make?
