The nature of humanity is flawed – we were born into a broken world that still harbors generational sin from the days of Adam and Eve.
We are selfish and think of ourselves before others
We are unforgiving when someone hurts you
Always wanting more – what we have I’d never enough, we always want a better life, a better car, a new house, fancy new gadgets
Our nature to rebel – have sex with lots of people, lie, drink too much, argue with our parents etc
Fighting wars over different beliefs
How we love – our greatest attribute
Love like Jesus – learning to love like him, Having Him at the center of all that we do
When you have Jesus, our nature is changed and the fruits of that can be seen – the proof is in the pudding so to speak.
Selfless instead of selfish – putting others needs above your own
Forgiving instead of unforgiving – even when you really get hurt
Content with what you have rather than always wanting more. However, God will always push us to further ourselves and our destiny/calling in Him
Backing away from rebelling – you don’t want to do that kind of stuff anymore
Everything requires a sacrifice – do this instead of that. Everything has a cost.
What will it cost you to live more like Jesus?
Jesus is forgiving, in fact he died on a cross to wipe out the power of sin, the power of death, so that we can live in freedom and so when our life on this earth comes to an end one day, it will merely be the start of an eternity in God’s very presence
All we have to do is give him some space in our lives and all that we were before can be no longer, the slate can be wiped clean. Our life can be changed forever
