Die Right So You Might LIve Right!

Are you dying and living the right way? Many are dying to please God and missing out on how good life in Christ is meant to be. There are many believers and unbelievers alike who are literally giving up their life one piece at a time in vain effort to win God's favor. Unfortunately, they have either forgotten or never learned that God has already (in spite of us) decided to like, favor and love us. He demonstrated such a heart through the Cross of Christ. Jesus did not choose to die for our sins because of anything we could ever do to win his favor! Jesus chose to die for our sins because He first chose to love us. His choice had nothing to do with us or what we could ever do for Him. Now...will you avail yourself of God's choice by placing faith in Him for your life? This question is not only for unbelievers but is also a very pertinent one for legalistic Christians. Instead of killing yourself to please God through right behavior will you instead die to self effort and vain attempts to win God's favor? Will you live by grace through faith in Him? Start dying right so you might live right today!
