My name is Stephen and I am a sinner. I have made mistakes, and I will continue making mistakes until my last days on this earth. That makes me human. I am not perfect and I accept that the wages of my sins is death.
But as I believe in Jesus Christ My Savior, as I have a relationship with Jesus and love him, my sins are forgiven. As a human being, I have not been pure, I have not been perfect, and I do not deserve to be forgiven. But as a Christian, I am saved. As I believe in Him, God has looked past my past transgressions and has forgiven me.
NIV John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
We may be sick and hurting with regret over past mistakes, and do not think God can forgive us, but here is the truth: None of us deserve to be forgiven, but God loves us as we are, as he has created us. His heart beats inside of ours, because we have accepted Him in. We are His children. We love and have faith in Him and that pleases him.
Believe. Keep faith. Love. Rest soundly, He is coming for us.
God Bless,
Stephen

God's Beauty of Creation
"God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning, the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast glory. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work." (Genesis 1:31-2:2)
God's beauty is everywhere, and our creator, our loving God has truly blessed us. Breathtaking mountains and valleys, streams and seas intricately carved with his gentle hands. Dense beautiful forests of trees seeded out of his giving hand. Graceful Cheetahs running wide open across the African grasslands, created by God's grace. The Human Beings that love, laugh, and smile, created in our Heavenly Father's own image.
Is today's technology and science at a critical step to become tomorrow's advancements to the human race? No. The only critical step to advance ourselves is to accept God, believe he sent his only Son to die on the cross, so that we can have everlasting life. I have nothing against technology, in fact, it keeps me alive every day. But explaining everything away as "breakthroughs" in technology and science is not the answer. Science can not prove to me that the earth evolved from some random "big bang" event, and that human beings evolved from a ball of rock. Scientists look toward science to be their savior, but in reality, they just can't explain how the earth was created, and their egos will not accept that they are wrong. To them, believing in an all powerful being is "illogical."
The truth is right in front of everyone, but Satan puts blinders over their eyes. Look at the world around you, is nature's beauty a result of millions of years of evolution? Your computer, a man-made piece of technology, is the inventor's brain a result of evolving from primitive cavemen? No. These things could not have been created without God creating the heaven and earth, humans and beasts. God's beauty surrounds us all, and it is His will, everything ultimately was created by Him. We owe everything to God, and that is why I will serve him in this life and for eternity.
God Bless,
