Have you wondered what people mean when they say they've been saved, and also wondered why they are so excited about being saved? "Being saved" means that you have accepted the free gift of salvation offered by Jesus Christ to all persons. Being excited about being saved is the result of knowing for sure that you have eternal life in Heaven, and realizing that God loves you and has plans for your life! Every person on the face of the earth is a sinner. Yes, even you. Don't get mad at me, I'm a sinner too. You don't have to be really bad, like a murderer or something, to be a sinner. You see, no one is perfect--except for God, who is holy and cannot even stand to look at sin. "Your eyes are too pure to look on evil; you cannot tolerate wrong."--Habakkuk 1:13. He cannot tolerate murder, but He also cannot tolerate unkind thoughts, selfishness, cursing, and many other things that lots of people do. Sin came into the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. This broke their fellowship and relationship with God. Each person born since then has also had a broken relationship with God, because He is holy and we are not. "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us."--1 John 1:8.
People. Can't stand but to get a life. They may have one. There just not Living It. I am second.
