 Something that is to happen or has happened to a particular person or thing; lot or fortune.

It is easy to blame others for our mistakes or bad choices. The very first people I know to have done that were Adam and Eve. Some call it the blame game. I have done it without doubt but one day I realized that all my bad choices can’t be because of others. I will have to say that what happened to me was because of the good or bad choices I made. No one makes bad choices intentionally. Some choices turn out to be bad but once made they must be lived with. I remember the last car I brought. My wife and I never should have gone by ourselves. We should have taken my oldest son. Why do I say that? The reason I was buying a car in the first place was because of an accident of a lady running into me and my wife head on. I was in no shape to buy anything. Long story short it was the worst car deal I ever made. I made the choice and I now have to suffer the consequences. I am where I am today because of the choices I have made. One day after all the wrong choices I had made; I’m not saying all my choices were all bad. It does seem like I made more bad choices than good. There was this day I decided to go to Church which turned out to be the best choice ever. On that Sunday morning at Church I gave my heart to the Lord and my life changed 

forever. I didn’t change it. I didn't work at changing my life. The Lord did all that for me and He still is many years later.     

 John 8:31 (KJV) Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;

John 8:32 (KJV) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

 That is the first choice I made: “believed on him (Jesus) ”  I believed and trusted Jesus Christ as the payment for my sins. The second was to (continue in His Word)  that made me a learner of His Word. Over the years I have learned the truth of His Word and the truth of His Word has made me free.The Truth of His Word has not set me free oh no it has done much more than that it has made me free. What’s the difference? If only I am set free I can be trapped again. If made free that means that the trap which held me bound is gone? Truth makes free. One has to ask themselves if I’m not that bad then why did Jesus have to come and pay our sin debt? Because we are all sinners. Now I will agree that some of our sins are not that bad if we were weighing them on a scale from one to ten. We might say that I’m a good sinner. Others might say I wouldn’t call myself a good sinner but for sure I’m a medium sinner. It doesn’t  matter good, medium or bad we are all sinners. Romans 3:23 (KJV) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Our sin brings us short of where we should be.

Romans 6:23 (KJV) For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

We either accept Jesus' death as payment for our sin or we ourselves pay for it. In Jesus we receive the gift of eternal life. If we do not accept Jesus then we pay and the payment is eternal punishment. All I can say is that the proof is in the pudding in my life. It wasn’t the Church that changed me, it was Jesus Christ that did and He is still working in my life.
