Billy Graham said “Life without God is like an unsharpened pencil - it has no point.”
Colossians 2:11 (KJV) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Circumcision once done can never be undone. Once we accept Christ as our personal savior it can never be undone. I owed a debt I could not pay and Jesus paid my debt which He did not owe. If accepting Christ Jesus as your savior didn’t have a BIG change in your life. I would ask myself what really happened? If I was asked if I would go to heaven when I die, what would be my answer? If you were to answer yes and the person said wonderful, tell me how you know that? How would you answer that question? If your answer doesn’t center around Christ Jesus then you may not have what you think you have. I have spent most of my Christian life getting people just to think. It’s not what you think you have done for the Lord nor how much you think you have given of your time and treasures. Neither how good you think you have been. Oh no, read what the Apostle Paul wrote
Titus 3:5 (KJV) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
When you and I realize it’s not about what we have done. Neither is it about what we have not done. It’s not about you and I, it's all about what Jesus Christ has already done. Now read that verse slow
Colossians 2:11 (KJV) In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
In Jesus we are changed forever when we understand that the sins of our flesh have been removed by the Lord Jesus sacrificial death on the cross. We can not personally fix our sin problem. Some call smoking a sin and it may be but without doubt it is an addictive habit. I used to smoke and I decide to quit, if you have ever done that you know that is not the easiest thing to quit. I wrote that to write this we all have sins that easily trip us up. We fight to keep from falling into their drawing power and we have tried but we fail and fail and fail. I’m not saying to stop working at it what I am wanting you to see is that Jesus Christ Paid for all our sin not just a partial payment for our sin. Do you love Jesus with your heart or with you head? Are you working to please or are you praising Him for what He has already done. Yes sin should disturbed us, that's good and then we should go to our Heavenly Father and ask for forgiveness. 1 John 1:9 (KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
ASK
Matthew 7:7 (KJV) Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and ye shall find;
Knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
It’s not you and it’s not me it is all about HIM; JESUS!
