i am nothing

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
(1 Corinthians 13:1-3 ESV)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. 
(John 3:16 ESV)

 

I am not sure what to say at this point. Does all this really need my explanation? 

Well, here are a few thoughts from my own head: Lets start with the most basic thing about me. My existence: God made me. So without God I would not exist. I would be nothing in the most literal sense possible. A few other things about me...: I am made in God's image. I am like a picture of God so I don't even have one original quality that is not from God. Then I messed even that up by sinning, so at this point I was separated from God. I was a marred image of someone I couldn't  even see clearly, because He is Holy, Holy, Holy; perfectly set apart, and incompatible with my sin. So, there I was, nothing worth while anyway. But God didn't make people in His image for nothing. He would restore that image and be worshiped by His people. So He sent His son Jesus to bridge the gap; to take my shame and give me His holiness. Because of His love he changed me from 'nothing' into 'His beloved daughter.'

This isn't just my story. It is your story too, but this is where you get to make a choice: How will yours end? You can accept what Jesus did for you, taking His holiness in place of your shame, and appreciating the love of the giver of all life, or you can reject it and remain nothing but a marred image separated from the only person who can give you true value. 

There is one more thing you should know though: God made our souls to exist forever, but because God is holy and we are sinful if you refuse to accept the gift of holiness from Jesus you can't spend eternity with God. Any human who dies without accepting the gift of holiness and eternal life from Jesus Christ spends eternity in Hell.

If you already trust in Jesus then please take this opportunity to thank Him for what He has done for you! I hope this post helped you to remember how awesome it is and how vital He is to you!!!!!!!!! For more on humility check out this sermon

Then what becomes of our boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

(Romans 3:27-28 ESV)
