To tell the truth, there are many people and issues that mean the world to me, but my Jesus means more.

My Christianity is not just about religion. Jesus is my Lord, that’s right, but He has also been my CEO, my Father and my very best friend.

My favourite sentence in the bible says this:
“This is eternal life: That they might know you, the true and living God and Jesus Christ whom you sent.”

Read it again. According to that verse what is eternal life?
Its one of the most important things in Christianity – knowing God.

There is one thing that keeps people from knowing God. Theres a barrier, between people and God. That barrier is what the bible calls sin and its like a brick wall. I can’t go around it. I can’t even do good things on my side of the wall and hope it will disappear. Because I can’t remove my sin, and even if I do 1,000 good things I’ll do 10,000 bad and not realise. Because the bible says when I hate someone, I have murder in my heart. If I check someone out its like I commit adultery with them.

So though I can try and live differently regards these things, I’m still human and still sin. However I believe that Jesus didn’t sin and that when He willingly went on the cross, God put on Jesus’ shoulders the punishment for everyone’s sin. So if I ask Jesus for forgiveness then the brick wall is gone, the barrier of sin is gone. Sin carries a price which I can never pay but Jesus has paid the price in full, with His very blood.

And that’s why I love Him. If it wasn’t for Him I wouldn’t be able to know God. I wouldn’t be able to have the relationship with God that I now enjoy and strive to further.

And though I still sin, I want to worship Him in a pure way. When I sin its like I turn my back on God and go the other way. On earth I want to worship without sinning but I can’t, not yet. If I say I can I’m being arrogant and deceiving myself and others. But come heaven, then I can sing. Then I can worship Him in a pure way. Then I can make Him feel like the centre of the Universe, which He is. Meantime I’m living the best life possible, both for its joys and its tragedies, the life of someone following Jesus.

(I don’t know how much sense that made. Feel free to ask questions if it didn’t!)
