What Makes Us Who We Are

To be honest I have had that thought many times in my life, I suppose because of what happened in my life at 20 months of age.

What would I have been, where would I be now, if my mother, brother, and sister had not died in that house fire back in 1948, and or my father had not put my brother, sister, and myself in an orphan home.? We have no answer for that.

If it had not happened them I would probably not be married to my wife Linda, nor have a daughter Jerri Lynn, nor the 2 grandsons.

But, I know the answer, its in the bible. Yes I know, many do not believe there is a God. They would label all things as fate.

But I have know the answer to this for many years, Romans 8:28 tells the story, God Worked out things for my good.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28 (KJV)

And He will do the same for you, if you will let Him. But the greatest thing He can do for one is to save their soul from spending eternity in hell.

But you may be one of those who say, I'm a very good person, I do many wonderful deeds. In fact I live a much better life than my neighbor who is a Christian.

But remember this, a person is sent to hell only because the do not have Jesus as their Savior, not because of how good they are, how much better than someone else they are, nor because of how bad they are, its simply because the refuse the free gift God offers them.

"He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
John 3:18

"He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him."
John 3:36

Yes, those who are condemned, are condemned because they have not believe on the name of the only begotten Son, Jesus.

If you have not accepted Jesus as your Savior, I hope that you will consider what He can do for you.

God can do many wonderful things for you, but the greatest is thru His Son you can have the promise of life eternal in heaven right now.

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
John 3:16

May God Bless,
