You can try religion, righteousness, rules, and rituals, but that is just a soft reset that won’t get you anywhere. What you need is a hard reset, a new start, a new heart, and a new life. You need a spiritual birth certificate and there is one available for you today.

You can do a lot of things on this earth. You can be hugely successful, and you can become rich and famous. There are many things you can do on earth to bring you glory from other people. However, the only life that truly matters is the one that glorifies God.

When you love God and you show your love to God by obeying His commands, Jesus plainly says this will lead to true fellowship with God. Nothing will make you feel more at home with Jesus than when you love Him by obeying Him.

You cannot love God until you love Jesus. If we love Jesus the way we should, then we truly love God the way we should. And when we love God the way we should, we will love other the way we should.

The first thing God wants from us is faith. You cannot please God without faith because you cannot know God without faith. God sent His son Jesus to earth so we could not only believe in God but also know God, please God, and pursue God. So please Believe Me when I say the only way to live on this side of heaven is to live a life of full of faith in God.

There were three crosses that day on Calvary when Jesus was crucified for our sin. The man on the right of Jesus died to sin, and the man on the left of Jesus died in sin. You have a choice of which person you will be. You can recover from a wasted life, but you cannot recover from a wasted death. Make the right choice to accept Jesus today.

We have confidence in the Father's hope of not just our spirit being deposited in His hands, but also of those same hands taking that spirit and placing it into a resurrected body that will love Him and live with Him forever. You can't be ready to live until you are ready to die, and you are not ready to die until you die in God's hands.

On the cross, sin nailed Jesus to the cross. Death had Jesus in a stranglehold, but Jesus took the sting out of death, and Jesus sapped the power out of sin and finished it off once and for all with two words, "mission accomplished." Are you ready to accomplish this mission? Accept Jesus today and leave your sin nailed to the cross.
