We Owe Everything To God Series

Let us remember and live everyday God’s Power and Grace through Jesus Christ.

One final important note: There was a time in my Christian life when I walked around like a peacock; I was so arrogant about having eternal life in heaven. All I thought about was myself and not really caring about the souls of others. I felt like a million bucks and didn’t care what others have or didn’t have. And of course sin didn’t bother me because I would just confess, claim forgiveness, and just say “thanks Jesus”! Maybe you’re like that today.

You might also be thinking that God only took lives in the Old Testament before Jesus Christ. Remember Ananias and Sapphira in the Book of Acts? And in 1 John 5, God tells us that there is a sin that leads to death! Be warned!

Here’s what happened to me; my sins started to really bother me; I started questioning God; “I’m a Christian, why am I doing all these sins!”, and instead of feeling like a million bucks, I felt guilt and shame.

As I think back, I know now that the devil wanted me to feel that way and he was probably doing the best he could to keep me feeling that way. Maybe you’re feeling that way today.

What did I learn? I think it is the other main lesson God was teaching the Israelites with Genesis 38. Because I am a sinner, even as a Christian, God really has the power and the right to just take my life away! God taught me that I have life and eternal life SIMPLY by His grace!

When we say “we are simply saved by grace”, aren’t we saying that we really owe everything to God? Here’s the final question, Are we really living on a daily basis that we owe everything to God?
