replenish

This past evening, I had the opportunity to listen in on a Christian .. discussion thing called "Alive @ 9". It's ran by an organization called Regen+Nation LOL Anyways, I just wanted to mention a really awesome idea on my blog. Someone asked a question regarding on how to keep the passion going for God.. or just not becoming dull to what we believe in. (i'm a Christian btw XD).. and one of the things that they suggested.. was to preach the Gospel to yourself.. everyday. I found that concept super cool and I absolutely love it. Thing is, I need to start doing my devos and prayer time before I can even tell the Gospel to myself.

Before I continue, I'll sum up the Gospel really briefly:

  1. God is holy.. which means He is set apart from sin. He can't stand that stuff. What is sin? It is anything we think, say or do that breaks God's Law.. aka the Bible. So in other words, God is perfect and can't stand impure stuffs.
  2. We .. as humans .. are totally full and stuffed with this nastiness called sin. Because of it, we're separated from God :(
  3. However, God loves us. Not our sin. Us. He wants to be with us.. so in order to do that, He sends His one and only Son to die on the cross for our sins (because the wages of sin is death).. However, He didn't just die there. He rose three days later! His blood was shed and ..
  4. Our "slate" is wiped clean. Our sin has been erased (crazy, right?) and we are now able to be in contact with God through Jesus Christ, who died and rose again. Yay! What's even better.. is that we're now able to spend all of eternity with God. (cool, right? it better be!)
  5. time to grow, grow, grow in God :)
Anyways, that was super brief.. >>" but yea, even just going over the Gospel and typing out basic stuff was already "refreshing". Doing that everyday would be crazy. Some people might think.. "well, if you do it routinely, won't it become dull again?" Honestly, God .. is not dull. Anything related to Him.. is not dull. And I think that if we truly meditate on His Word and what He's done for us, that passion will never die down because our Lord is just that awesome. Yes, awesome.
