Here is something to consider if you are a Christian or have any dealings with Christians.
People don't go to Hell for Sin. People go to Hell for not believing in Jesus. Did you hear me?
PEOPLE DON'T GO TO HELL FOR SIN. PEOPLE GO TO HELL FOR NOT BELIEVING IN JESUS.
Believe it or not this is awesome news. It really simplifies things. So you're not going to hell for cursing or using drugs. That guy is not going to hell for rape or murder. My friend is not going to hell for cheating on her husband. How is that great news? You ask. Well, if you are the cheater you can still go boldly to the throne of God and ask for help. If you are the person cheated on you can exercise your faith that all things work together for the good of those who love the lord.
Sounds unfair you say...well you are right! Until you consider that the reason you yourself are not on your way to hell for something as simple as overeating or getting upset at someone is for the same reason. JESUS!
God wants a relationship with us at all times. He understands that life is hard and decisions are made that sometimes lead us to places we never wanted to go. That is way he sent Jesus to die for us. Jesus takes away the sin of the world. All the sin...past, present and future. That is the beauty of the Grace of God.
When Jesus was on Earth he brought equal amounts of Grace and Truth to each encounter. The truth is to God a sin is a sin is a sin from murder to overeating. All sin no matter how small separates us from the love of God. Sin eventually makes us believe we are unworthy of His blessings and we stop worshiping and believing because of shame. The truth is we are right, but we were always unworthy even before the sin. The Grace is we are not judged based on our performance instead we are judged based on Jesus' performance. Just in case, you didn't know Jesus was perfect.
He was not born of Adam, a man with sin in his blood. He was born of the Holy Spirit and as such was never born into the prison of sin. This prison of sin, by which every man is born into, keeps us sinful no matter what good works we do. Jesus was born into the prison of righteousness. This prison is the prison we all enter when we make Jesus the lord and savior over our lives. As such this prison keeps us righteous or in right standing with God, no matter what we do.
So does that mean that we should go out and do whatever we want; lie, kill, and steal. Of course not. Does that mean that there are no consequences for what we do. Of course not. So what does it mean? It means keep moving forward in Christ and keep believing that God is for you. So that God can make all things work together for your good.
That is when Parley Pioneers Inc. comes in. We are the hands and feet of Jesus. We are here to help keep you moving forward in Christ.
