what a strange day yesterday turned out to be .for week s ive been down waiting and yesterday i was talking to god no he did nt talk back but i have chat to him in my mind .Anyway i said to him i need help im going crazy and its killing me i know i need to change inside im getting there but some things are hard but my heart is still true i have love in it and as long as thats alive so am i .So last night before bed i thought id try my email to see if ive heard from my laywer who repesents me at the medical board and low and behold there was a email it said "the board will have the panels decision by the end of the day on the 14th dec." So now its a waiting game.I was walking to the mall today and saw a leaflet on the ground and it said HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN is that a coindence heres some things from it i left it there but picked it up after saoirse and my trip to the flimingo(there's the n) no one can be saved unless he is born again by the power of gods spirit.christ says in john 3.7 nothing will take place of the new birth.
baptism will not take the place,confirmation will not take the place,
No performance of religious rites will take the place of the new birth.A great many people are depending upon the fact that they say their prayers,read their bibles, go to church, partake of the sacrament,and perform other duties
a great many people say "I BELIVE IN THE APOSTALES' Ccreed, i belive in the athanasian creed, i belive in the nicene creed; I say the catechism, i am orthodox, i hold the right veiws about Christ,right veiws about the bible, right veiws about the atonement." You can be orthodox upon every doctrine and be lost for ever.
Culture and refinement and outward correctness of life will not take the place of the new birth.The trouble is in the heart, in the very deepest depths of our inward life, and merely to reform your outward life will not save you.
suppose i had a rotten apple. I could take that apple to an artist, have him put a coat of wax on it, and then paint it till it was the most beautiful looking apple you ever saw; but it would be just as rotten at heart as ever, and one bite into it would be a bite into decay.The trouble is That out of christ you are wrong in heart and mere culture,mere refinement,mere respectability,mere morality is a coating of wax on the outside painted up.You must be changed down to the deepest depths of your being.
"Verily ,verily,I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of GOD."(john 3:3) are you born again.
Now, i think a good many will say "NO I AM NOT. CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT I MUST DO RIGHT NOW TO BE BORN AGAIN?"
I can .Our lord jesus christ preached: "repent ye, and belive in the gospel."(mark 1:15) Repentance is turning from sin to god.The gospel message has the power in it to transform your life.
now that was weird finding that after asking god for help call me crazy if you like but ive had other experiances and there are things i still have to do to have total inner peace but i think i am getting there my outside has nt changed im still me. but in my heart i know i still have things to do and i think it will take time but i will get there .
its like jesus i always said to myself that what his greatest thing was 'BEING A GOOD MAN AND LIVING A GOOD LIFE ' just something to ponder
