the anomalies of my so-called programmed life.

about meeeee

I grew up in a Christian family. Im used to going to church every Sunday. I practically grew up hearing all the stories in the Bible, about Moses, David, and Abraham. I can recite a few verses, and I know almost every parable of Jesus. I can say that I’m generally good, I resent cheating, as much as possible I do not lie, I do not use profane words. Everybody always told me that I was good, too good. I thought all these was enough for me to go to heaven. Hey, I pray once in a while, I go to church and I know John 3:16.. But no. Good works, morality and knowledge of the bible is not enough to buy me a ticket to heaven. Although to the world, I may be good but in God’s eyes I’m a sinner. And a really bad one. When I became a college student, I started to read the bible eagerly and with much understanding. I also started to attend bible studies and cell group meetings faithfully. It was then that I learned that salvation could only be acquired by having a personal relationship with God. It was then that I finally understood the real meaning of John 3:16- God showed his love for me [for us] by sending His Son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for my sins. His death was my ransom. And now, I’m a new creation. I’m living a new life, avoiding sin, and living by faith. My good works are not like filthy rags in God’s sight anymore, because it was done for Him and for his glory. I go to church and read the bible with an eager heart that yearns to know more of Him. I’m now trying to live a blameless life so that I will be good in His eyes. And most of all, I’m living my life so that many more will come to know of His love, mercy and faithfulness.
