Getting Right with God
This is what I use in witnessing. I hope it is a blessing to you. Many say,
“I don’t know what to say when witnessing.” Well, if you read this,
maybe it can help you some.
Do you feel like you are a good person? Most people do. They think to
themselves “God wouldn’t send me to hell.” Well, let’s look at the Ten
Commandments of God to see how good you are in the sight of God.
Have you ever told a lie in your life? Have you ever stolen something?
How about a white lie or stolen something small? Jesus said, If you
look at someone with lust, you have already committed adultery in your
heart with them. Have you done that? Jesus also said, if you hate
someone, you have already murdered them in your heart. Have you
ever hated someone? Have you ever used God’s holy name in vain as
a cuss word? That is blasphemy and very serious. Have you ever dishonored
your parents or envied what someone else has? Have you
ever had something in your life more important to you than God? That
is an idol in your life. I could go on, but I think you get the picture.
If you and I were to go rob a bank, kill the tellers, and get caught on
video doing it, how much mercy would a judge have on us? We could
blame society, our parents, or even say “there are others doing it.”
Would the judge care? No. In the same way, we are guilty of sin before
God who is the judge. We will die and stand before him guilty. What if
we were in that courtroom after robbing the bank and a stranger came
up to the judge and asked to pay our fine so that we could go free even
though we are guilty? That would be amazing, wouldn’t you agree?
That is exactly what Jesus did 2000 years ago. God became a man
and died to pay the debt of sin we have all committed before God. We
are guilty and need God’s forgiveness. So we can humble ourselves
and ask forgiveness for our sin, or we can be prideful and end up in
hell. The choice is ours. Someone reading this may think, “Well this
loving God wouldn’t send me to hell.” If you are thinking that, you just
broke the second of the Ten Commandments which says not to create
a god. You used your imagination to create a god that would not send
you to hell even though you refuse to turn away from sin and get right
with Jesus. Jesus’ price he paid at the cross is the only way God will
accept us on judgment day. There are maybe others out there that say,
I don’t believe in Jesus. I say to you, you have never met him. When
you meet him, you will believe. You can look at a building, or a house,
and know there had to be an architect. You can also look at a painting
and know there had to be a painter. In the same way, you can look at
creation, and know there had to be a creator.
