       Today, I want to talk about the importance of God’s Word in our lives. Indeed, it is very important that we align our thoughts and steps in our day-to-day lives with God’s Word because His Word is Truth. From his Word comes the understanding of reality for how things really are, and whatever his Word tells us is the truth that we can live by. Without God’s words, we would be wandering stars with no certainty to where we are going in our lives, or for that matter, with where will be spending our life after this one. But his words instruct us—they give us life. Our lives, as Christians, bear the good fruit of his Word. There has to be something that we base rules and morality on, in our world, for our lives. We cannot make them up ourselves because we, as humans, don’t always do things the right ways. No, there has to be an ‘outside’ source that gives us the way we are to live our lives. We believe that this comes to us in the Bible. Now, even though the Bible appears to have been written by human authors, in reality it was written by God himself. He is the Divine Author.

       God does indeed want everyone to be in a personal relationship with him. He doesn’t want to be separated from anyone, and he doesn’t want to have to judge anyone for their sins. He takes no pleasure in sending people to Hell, but he must do so for those who refuse to accept his free gift. God is holy and righteous and cannot let sin go unpunished. But anyone can accept Jesus’ sacrifice of Himself on the cross for payment for sins, any and all sins done in this life, and gain eternal life and peace with God. If you would like to receive Jesus today as your personal Lord and Savior, then please follow my lead in this prayer: God, I have sinned greatly in my life, doing many things against you and against others. I have not followed good ways, but i have have followed the ways of this world, the ways of your enemy. But today, I turn from my sin and want to accept Jesus’ way of doing things. I want him to be my Head, my guide from now on. I believe Jesus did die for me and rose from the dead, and is alive with you today. Father, please change me, and make me become more like Jesus. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

       Maybe you’ve been listening to what I have been talking about. Maybe you’ve identified some of these problems in your own life, but you don’t know God, you don’t have a personal relationship with Jesus, and you don’t know where to go from here. Well, right now, I’m going to tell you how you can come into a personal relationship with God, how you can be set free from your sins, the things you’ve done in your life against God and others, and how you can gain eternal life today. It is true that God sent his Son to the earth, 2,000 years ago, and he died on a cross as a substitutionary death on our behalf, so all humans could come to know God and be at peace with him. God does indeed want everyone to be in a personal relationship with him. He doesn’t want to be separated from anyone, and he doesn’t want to have to judge anyone for their sins. He takes no pleasure in sending people to Hell, but he must do so for those who refuse to accept his free gift. God is holy and righteous and cannot let sin go unpunished. But anyone can accept Jesus’ sacrifice of Himself on the cross for payment for sins, any and all sins done in this life, and gain eternal life and peace with God.

       Sometimes you need to talk it out. You need to get with the person, have coffee with him or her, and settle the issue. And it may have come to the point where you need to bring another person with you. And sometimes the situation is over, and doesn't need further elaboration, but just quiet forgiveness. But whatever the case, it is very important that at least you, yourself, are willing to forgive. You don't want to have anything that is interfering with your relationship with God. That's never good. The good news is that you can fix the problem right away by forgiving the person in your heart that you have a grudge against. You can go to prayer to God and forgive. Now, it may still be important for you to meet with the person, depending on the situation. And you should do this as soon as possible. Our hearts have to be right before God with others if we are going to in fact truly show love for God. John told us in his first epistle, in the fourth chapter, “If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20, ESV).

       In the Lord's Prayer, Jesus told us to pray, “Forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors.” It is a requirement when we pray to God that we have forgiven others the offenses they've committed against us, no matter what the offense. This is because of what Jesus has done for us, going all the way to the cross for all our sins against God. Because he showed so great a love for us, we need to show great love toward others. It is very insulting to God when we wont forgive our neighbor for a wrong they've done to us. Let me tell you that if you have unforgiveness in your heart, that it's not worth it. Satan will use bitterness to rob you of your life. It’s not worth harboring resentment against a person or persons for an event that's happened in the past. Now, perhaps you're both guilty in whatever situation has transpired. But even if the other person hasn't forgiven you, you need to forgive the person. It is very freeing to forgive others for the wrongs they done against us. It shows God's goodness. It shows that God's love is more powerful than any offense.
